Doctor's Biography

New Jersey Brain and Spine | New Jersey Brain and Spine Earns #3 National Ranking For Neurosurgical Practices

Dr. Clar is one of the most highly trained neurologists in the country for the treatment of movement disorders. After completing her residency at Georgetown University, she completed a two-year movement disorders fellowship at Mount Sinai Beth Israel Medical Center, where she received specialized training in Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS).

She specializes in the evaluation and treatment of Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor, dystonia, and other complex movement disorders, with particular expertise in advanced therapies including Deep Brain Stimulation and MRI-guided Focused Ultrasound. Dr. Clar works closely with neurosurgical colleagues to evaluate patients who may benefit from surgical treatment options when medications are no longer providing adequate symptom control.

Dr. Clar is exceptionally patient-focused and attentive. During each visit, I truly feel that I have her full, undivided attention. She takes the time to listen carefully, address all my questions and concerns, and ensures that everything is clearly explained. I always leave with a solid understanding of the next steps and what to expect moving forward. Her thoughtful and reassuring approach makes a real difference—I consistently feel more relaxed and confident after every appointment. I highly recommend Dr. Clar for her professionalism, clarity, and genuine care.

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.

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.

Dr Clar was wonderful. My wife is prepping for DBS surgery and we met with Dr Clar in preparation for their DBS clinic. She is caring and confident and we left feeling much better about using NJ Brain and Spine.
