I was more than pleased with the experience I had at Dr. Cilhars office. He was on time and I could tell that I was important to him. We need more guys like him in the medical field.

I don’t know what it is but my dad is one of them old hard headed fellas that is just to rough and tumble to listen, redneck I suppose. But, a heart of gold. He refused to go to any doctor, and when I finally go him in with Dr Cihlar, he refused to go. After promises of lunch and letting him drive, we go there. I don’t know what the doctor said to him, but he is taking his medicine and really trying to stay on the plan the doc gave him. Thanks doc. The old man is in the mend

I had a great experience visiting Dr. Cihlar. It was my first time seeing him and he was recommended to me by many people in the community. I’ve had bad experiences with doctors in the past but I felt like Dr. Cihlar really listened to me and cared about the issues I was experiencing. I would highly recommend him to anyone!
