Dr. Kozar has a wonderful bedside manner. He takes his time with all of his patients. After going to several different doctors, he was the only one who diagnosed my problem. I trust Dr. Kozar with my medical issues.

I had a liposuction procedure several years ago elsewhere, and I wasn't very happy with my results. Then I came to see Dr. Kozar. He did Smartlipo body sculpting on me and I lost 2 clothing sizes. I love all the compliments I am getting and I love my new body. Thanks Dr. Kozar!

I was treated by Dr. Kozar in 2009 and again today (2012). Dr. Kozar is a very compassionate and caring doctor. He is not rushed when he speaks with you and makes certain he communicates with his patient so that you leave with no questions. I would recommend him to anyone.

He had a very sharp attitude. He ignored my yell of pain. He did a lipo procedure and injected a lot of fluids but did not suck out much fat. He tries to get everyone to do a second procedure after six months.
