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. Kovar: an excellent caring physician
I was seen promptly. Dr. Took a detailed past history, performed a thorough exam then made recommendations for care. Done with personal interest.

I have been seeing Dr. Kovar for many years. He is very knowledgeable and makes sure I receive the care I need. I have an easy time getting an appointment and never have to wait in his office more than 5 minutes to see him. He is warm, caring and listens to my concerns. I highly recommend him.

I switched to Dr Kovar more than 10 years ago at the recommendation of another doctor who is also a patient of Dr. Kovar’s. I interviewed him before selecting him as my primary care doctor. I was very impressed. Dr. Kovar is a knowledgeable, careful and caring physician. He has solved some of my medical issues that baffled the specialists I was seeing. He even came to my home to help me in an emergency. Dr. Kovar now also cares for my wife and son as well.
