Dr. Clar is extremely professional and knowledgeable and has a very warm and welcoming demeanor. She is never in a hurry to rush out the door. Dr. Clar takes her time in discussing issues with my husband who has Parkinson's Disease. She is attentive to all our questions and guides us with care and concern. We are very happy that we connected with Dr. Clar and New Jersey Brain and Spine.

We recently had an appointment with Dr. Clar and all's well that end's well. Dr. Clar has been my wife's neurologist for several years now. At yesterday's appointment we had several concerns regarding my wife's physical well being. Dr. Clar took the time to explain to my wife her situation is better than most others with Parkinson's. When we left we were satisfied with her explanation. At each appointment, Dr. Clar has always taken the time to settle our questions in a professional manner. We highly recommend Dr. Clar to any patient looking for honest answers.

Dr. Clar is very thorough, considerate and extremely professional. One of the best I’ve ever seen. I’m lucky to have her as my neurologist!

My husband was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2018. We were going to another Neurologist since then....Pandemic hit and had only virtual visits. My husband dramatically declined over the past year. We finally secured a visit with Dr. Elana Clar in early March. After spending over an hour with us she increased and added medications plus PT 3x a week he is like a new man! We are very thankful we found Dr. Clar.

I had been to 2 movement disorder specialists before Dr Clar and she is by far the best, and my personal favorite. Her personality, knowledge, and approach are the right fit for me. She spends time with you and it’s obvious she cares.

I've been meaning to write a review for a while and started several times but didn't post because I didn't think they explained how wonderful she is

So short, direct, and to the point-

My quality of life is greatly improved because of Dr Clar and the care she provides.

I could go on for pages but that's the bottom line.
