The reason I gave this rating was because Dr. Clar spends the time going over everything and never made me feel rushed or silly for asking questions. She is very caring and supportive and goes out of her way to help with all my issues. Dr. Clar went above and beyond for me and I am already giving her name to my friend who is looking for a neurologist. I could go on and on how wonderful she is as a Dr. and a human being. Top notch and I recommend her highly!

I have been a patient of Dr. Clar for 2 years now after seeing every neurologist possible in New York and New Jersey. It felt like I won the lottery after my first meeting with her. She is BY FAR the best, most knowledgeable, caring, and compassionate Dr. that I have ever seen. She spends so much time with me at each visit and answers any and all concerns that I may have. I’ve had Parkinson’s for 13 years now and thanks to Dr. Clar and her recommendations, I have never felt better!!

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 patient oriented. I feel that I get her full attention during the visit. Dr. Clar answers my questions and concerns. It's very clear what the next steps/actions are until my next visit. I am more relaxed and confident after my visit.

Dr. Clar takes her time to listen and understand your unique problems, and how best to address them, you leave her office feeling like someone is really doing something to make you feel better. I would highly recommend Dr Clar for anyone, needing a very good neurologist.
