I was concerned with changes I as well as my family had noticed about focus and memory issues with myself. I felt Dr. Pugar took his time and reviewed all areas with me and was truly concerned with my understanding and agreement of his findings. I am confident in this care he provided me and his findings.

My husband had his first visit yesterday and I was very pleased with Dr. Pugars bedside manner, knowledge and expertise. His office staff was polite and efficient. I observed his teaching with his resident as the examination was performed and he clearly is a wonderful teacher. We have testing to be done and will find our answers in due time. He is a gem in his specialty and I would highly recommend him to anyone with neurological health issues.

He's professional, knowledgeable, trusting, compassionate and I wouldn't have my mom and dad go to anyone else.

Over 8 years ago I had tried to determine what was causing of mobility issue. After several doctors visits throughout 3-4 years I was referred to Dr. Pugar. He gave me a diagnosis in my first visit. He is not only a great doctor but I feel he is professional, kind and caring.

I am an MS patient of Dr. Pugar. I have been his patient for several years. He is an excellent doctor. He always takes his time and explains everything thoroughly.
I would highly recommend Dr. Pugar as a neurologist.

My dad has Alzheimer's. We saw Dr. Pugar once. He asked Dad all the questions they always ask dementia patients, talked into his recorder, said it was Alzheimer's, and then we never saw him again. Every visit after was with Sarah. All she did at each visit was track Dad's decline. There is no point in going to Pugar if the PCP can prescribe Aricept because Pugar knows the patient will not live so he just diagnoses the patient and walks away. There were no heartfelt goodbyes or any caring at all when I told them that we had to move him to memory care. None. They really didn't care at all. Also, we had marked that dad had worked in solvents but Pugar recorded that Dad was not exposed to toxins or chemicals. Yes, he was, for years. I don't think he read his chart well, and he never offered to show us the plaques on the MRI. I asked the nurses if I could see it and they said "it shows plaques" and never let me see it. Strange office.

Dr. Pugar appears to be very knowledgeable and has good bedside manners for someone in his position. His support staff is disorganized, some are rude an, fail to respond in timely fashion. His support staff has led me to find someone else for my care.

I was very happy with Dr Pugar. He was very knowledgeable, patient, and kind. He took time to explain everything in a manner that helped my elderly aunt understand her medical situation. He cares.

I was referred to Dr. Pugar due to his expertise in MS. He took the time to explain the history of MS medications and therapies and gave his reasoning for why he was recommending a particular treatment for me. He answered all my questions patiently, and was clear in his plan and next steps. I felt very comfortable with him and would recommend him to friends and family.

On my first visit Dr. Pugar spent a lot time with me asking several perinate questions about the problems that I have experience. He performed some test, then explain what he thought what my problems could be, in a very clear explanation.
He scheduled several tests by the staff at DCND, they were very professional and thorough. On the last appointment, Kristen summarized results and explained the diagnoses.
I would recommend DCND to anyone with neurological pro

I agree with another reviewer that this office should be able to schedule the next appointment while you are checking out. I don't care if they demand I call on the first of the month or not. I'm not going to call from work and if I get home late that's too bad. I call when I can. The office staff tries to be very bossy and demanding. I find it unprofessional that several of the girls chew in my ear and sigh as if irritated that I called. My dentist can schedule 6 months out but they can't

I've been a patient of Dr. Pugar's for more than 3 years now. He has always taken his time to listen and answered all of my questions so that I understand my treatment. He is always very kind. Other than having to schedule your appointment 3+ months out and the brusqueness of some of the front desk personnel - who are mostly just efficient, if lacking some kindness to their routine when dealing face-to-face or on the phone with patients - I don't have anything negative to say.

Dr. Pugar is wonderful. Although difficult to get an appointment, it’s because he is the best and worth waiting if able.
He is patient and thorough. He wants to find the root problem and not simply keep a patient on medicine for the rest of their lives if it’s not necessary.
He takes time to listen to the patient and recaps appointments at the end in front of the patient to makes sure all that they have discussed is accurate.

Kind, professional, and skilled in neurology. He answered my questions, and although the answers were not what I wanted to hear, I knew they were given with honesty and expertise.

I had my first contact/appointment with Dr. Pugar today. I was impressed with his professional approach, knowledge, efficiency, and initial evaluation of my physical issues. He is looking at my issues from a number of different angles and has clearly informed me of what the possible causes might be. We are in the process of scheduling a number of tests in order to get a clear understanding of my neurological issues. I left the office feeling confident that Dr. Pugar will resolve the issues.

My appointment with Dr. Pugar was my first experience with a neurologist. He took the time to explain (in layman's terms) both what he was doing during the examination and what he had observed. He asked me more than once if I had any questions or concerns, and then patiently and thoroughly responded. His bedside manner is exactly what a patient hopes for in a doctor, especially a neurologist. I left with complete confidence and trust that I had seen the right person.

I had my first appointment with Dr. Pugar this morning after opting to transition my care from another neurologist. The difference between my former provider and this practice is nothing short of astounding. Having only seen one neurologist prior to Dr. Pugar, I now know what to expect as far as compassion, professionalism, support and knowledge. He took the time to answer my questions and seemed to genuinely care. The office staff is kind, welcoming and helpful. Great office!!!
