Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Clar...Dr.Azmi
Both the Dr Clar and Dr Azmi team were very professional, and caring. They both were interested in my oustanding care plan and procedure. Can't say enough about the team and the treatment i recieved. Have already reccomended them to several persons with similar symptoms of Parkinsons that i have expierenced along with Dr Wagner my original nuerologist . It was also very nice to deal with their office staff and ease of setting up office and testing appointments..Overall a 10 out of 10for the entire expiereince

A Doctor Above the Rest
Dr. Clar is by far the best Dr. I have ever had on my health journey! I have been to a lot of doctors, and none have been so efficient, warm, and understanding. Since I have been in her care, my quality of life has improved significantly. I would highly recommend her!

One Of A Kind
Dr. Clar treats my mother for her Parkinson's disease. I'm writing this review based on my interactions with her. She is exceptional. From the onset, Dr. Clar explained every course of care for my mom. She was very patient and kind. When my mom was deciding on DBS surgery, Dr. Clar made sure we all knew the options and process afterwards. The results have been great because of her diligence and level of knowledge. She would contact me when I wasn't able to visit with my mom. Dr. Clar always asked whether I had questions and was there anything concerning me about my mom. I can't give her enough accolades for her professionalism. She is simply the best.

Just great
I could write a book about all the ways Dr Clar is wonderful. But to be brief- She understands my symptoms better than any other dr and sometimes better than i do. Having her treat my condition makes my quality of life better.I dont know you could say going to any Dr is enjoyable, but a visit with Dr Clar is never a negative. always helpful, listens and doesnt rush you- whatever time you need she'll give it to you, there's not a visit where i dont come away feeling i have better knowledge and control of my situation.

Dr. Clar devoted ample time to reviewing discussion topics I submitted prior to my appointment and recommended changes in my medications. They will be reviewed in a month to determine effectiveness. I am fortunate to have in Dr. Clar a very knowledgeable and caring neurologist (movement disorders specialist) whom I view as a true ally in my health care.

Unparalleled Care
My mom is a patient of Dr. Clar's and we are so fortunate to be in her care. Dr. Clar's holistic approach to understanding and addressing my mom's health issues and her empathy and genuine concern for my mom's wellbeing are remarkable. We truly feel there is no where we could find better care.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Clar’s for quite a while. The practice runs on time and Dr. Clar always gives me her full attention. She listens to my complaints and answers my questions. I always feel that she has my best interests at heart. I am happy that she is my physician. I also recommend Dr. Azmi.

Great Experience!
Over the past few years, my mother and I have had several appointments with Dr. Clar, and she is truly amazing. She is a compassionate individual who loves her work and it reflects in her interactions. Dr. Clar asks a lot of questions, which I find beneficial, and she is always available to answer ours. Her staff is kind and polite, and I have not faced any difficulties with scheduling or rescheduling appointments. The procedure my mother underwent has significantly impacted our family's quality of life, and we cannot thank Dr. Clar enough. I highly recommend her services.

extremely knowledgeable and listens to you
Dr Clar was referred to us by my neurologist who said she was one of the best for my condition. We got a very quick appointment and found that not only was she very knowledgeable but also a great historian. She listened to me and carefully answered all my questions and doubts. She gave me various suitable options without any pressure. She has a great support staff, and her assistant was very prompt and efficient in helping me with all the forms I asked them to fill. I wholeheartedly recommend her !

A GREAT DOCTOR. WOULD ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND.
I have been seeing Dr. Clar since February of last year following DBS surgery . I have nothing but good things to say about her. I find her to be extremely knowledgeable, responsive, thorough and up to date on the latest treatments and technology. In addition, she is always very patient and takes the time to explain things and answer any questions I have. I never feel rushed. I know that she genuinely wants to help me. Her staff is also very nice and helpful. She is very easy to get hold of and answers emails promptly. I have no qualms about recommending Dr. Clar. She is an excellent doctor.
