About The Provider

Dr Dhar always answers my questions. Always super reassuring and my son has grown very fond of him. Before we leave he always makes sure to give him knuckles and a high five.

Dr. Dhar has been our Pediatrician since my son was born and he has been such a lifesaver. He listened to every concern I had during my 1 year old's checkup and gave me great medical advice and recommendations. He has always been straightforward and we love that about him. He continues to support spreading out vaccinations that I preferred without pushing me to get it all done at once cause yes as a first time mom the schedule scares me. With Dr. Dhar, we feel our concerns are being heard and discussed about always.

Did not listen to the needs of the appointment, made me feel like a poor parent for not getting the flu shot at that time and considered it a refusal of vaccines even though I said I may get it at a later date. Was not the most cooperative
