Dr Kovar is a rare physician. He takes all the time necessary to go over test results in detail including MRIs on his computer. He does not leave the room until he has listened to EVERYTHING you have to say, and answered every question. I have seen 5 Neurologists here and in Colorado. Dr Kovar was by far the best. Long wait times are common because of what I said above. He never rushes through an appointment, so the long wait times are well worth it.

She was rude, acted like she was the Dr.She came right out and said that she had no idea why my regular Dr would send me there since I couldn't answer her drilling me for 10 min on what test I had or haven''t had.. I had seen Dr Kovar in the past and he was great, she made it very clear since I hadn't seen him in over 3 years I would start back as a new patient= more money. I had a blown fuse before got it fixed so no reason to go back but she was very snotty about it. I ended up cancelling my appointment because of this particular "hired help" setting up appointments. I just want the Dr to know, you have one nasty girl working for you which caused me to go elsewhere. Dr rated 10 scheduler -negitive 10 she should not be working with the public.

I have absolute confidence in Dr. Kovar and his ability to diagnose and treat medical problems that may arise. If he is uncertain, or my complaints are not within the neurological specialty, He is willing to consult or refer me to the appropriate specialist. I am very comfortable with the staff and feel that I am being well cared for within this practice.

He was very thorough and took his time so I did not mind the wait. He made a dignosis, set up a plan of therapy and it took care of my really bad headaches. It was worth it. I have my life back again.
