Johar listened to my concerns and adjusted as needed. He regularly asked me to adjust physically and helped as I needed. When I was in the position he gave me positive feedback. He really knows his area and has a fine bedside manner.
He was kind, caring and very knowledgeable. I feel like this is the beginning of a great healing journey.
Great Dr.,good listener
Super nice, knowledgeable and makes you feel at ease for such a nerve-wracking procedure.
He is going forward to find what my problem is, which I find comforting knowing someone what’s to get to the issue.
Love Dr Johar Kind, caring and compassionate wrapped up into one excellent doctor!
Knowledgeable, professional but personalble Actually, listens to what patient is telling him. Doesn't hesitate to order diagnostic test and x-rays as needed. Highly Recommend. 5 Stars
He was nice and empathetic but was no help but then he is a surgeon so I understand why he couldn’t take over my case and continue to prescribe meds for this 70 year old man. However Knowing I was going thru pain med withdrawal ( which I wouldn’t curse anyone with) he sent me home without any meds on Thurs. Not even enough to get to another doctor today. He also said he’d refer me to another pain med doc who would call me Fri but that didn’t happen either. So I am in day 2 of opiate withdrawal and will likely have to go to the hospital again. The pain and withdrawal is triggering another Multiple Sclerosis exacerbation again! Maybe he’s a good doc but obviously he made no effort to follow thru as I received no call today from another pain med doc. So I have spent the time this past days bedridden, evacuating from every orifice going thru opiate and dilaudid withdrawal…you judge. So if you need meds to help deal with your pain in CT I strongly urge you to find another doctor…..
Always caring and confident which makes me feel well taken care of.
Very polite and gives plenty of information on your pain and how it would be treated. He listens and gives you a chance to ask as many questions as you need.
