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.

I've seen Dr Dugar on twice, i had to choose someone in my plan, but I am pretty happy - after 3 months of physical therapy still having problems & leg weakness, i got an injection and i felt right off the bat it was going in the right place. I am set up for a second but the improvement is wonderful thus far! I would definitely go see him if i need to again.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Dugar?
I have had experience with general anesthesia 3 times in the past. This doctor was the worst. Instead of administering iv medication to ward off post-surgical nausea, he placed a scopolamine patch into the back of my hair where it did absolutely no good. Not only was this the first time I awakened with a raw and raspy throat, but I also had to contend with nausea whenever i tried to sit up. I hope I don't need anymore surgery, but if I do there is no way I will allow this man near me.
