For the first time in eight years I have hope. I'm so grateful that Dr. Makar is determined to find out the root cause of all of my problems. Instead of just treating the symptoms. I feel seen and I feel heard. I've been bounced around so many times because of the complexity of my case and no one has ever been willing to dig into the underlying reason why. I'm incredibly grateful.
Excellent service!
Very compassionate, great listener. Highly recommend!!!!
Grateful to God for Dr.Makar exceptional care, Very compassionate and professional. His team is always there for me and they are also a blessing to me. Thank you for all you do to keep me healthy and moving forward managing the symptoms of occipital neuralgia and migraines. Grateful to be able to work.
Dr Makar, asked many questions since this was my first visit. I never felt rushed and he gave me a good plan to follow. He’s very easy to talk to and a very good listener. I highly recommend his practice .
Had a 10:30 appointment and at 11:20 still had not seen the doctor. Only contact made was by me after sitting there as the desk showed no concern over my wait until I said something. Watched people come in late to appointments and go right in
I thought Dr Maker was excellent! Easy to talk with, listened to my problems & started a plan to help resolve & improve my situation.
Loved the staff and Dr. Makar is really caring and listens to your issues. He’s very personable with excellent bedside manner. I highly recommend his practice.
First visit Dr. Makar took the time for me to express my concerns and then we discussed back and forth what we thought the best decisions for my health were.
I can tell he truly cares. Great doctor.
