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.

Awesome doctor
I have seen Dr. Kosher for two years and I find him to be very attentive, caring and a good listener. I never feel rushed in my appointments and if I ever have any blood work done, he calls and follows up or has the office call to follow up and make sure I saw the results. I find him to be very thorough.

Overbooks which results in inadequate care
Dr. Kochar used to be my physician until he dismissed some concerning symptoms that I had brought to his attention resulting in an automimmune disease not being diagnosed until I saw a different physician. I also have a family member who was a patient and couldn't get in to see Dr. Kochar for over a month despite an urgent medical issue. In my opinion and experience, he is not dependable when a patient needs him most.

FIRST ANNUAL PHYSICAL
Dr. Kochar saw me several months ago and diagnosed me with a kidney infection. He, at the time was not my regular doctor (she was not available). He is local for me and I asked that he become by PCP. I recently had my physical. He is very thorough, pleasant and efficient. I felt very comfortable, relaxed and confident with him.

My first visit was extremely positive. Dr. Kochar is very attentive and sensitive. He follows up on my welfare and is very responsive to my questions. My wife, my son and my cousin are also his patients. We all recommend Dr. Kochar!
