Dr. Kaar is a wonderful doctor. He is truly the best Orthopedic doctor for children at Cardinal Glennon Hospital!!

Dr. Kaar did a fine job. Considering that I was asked to appear for my appointment 15 minutes before the scheduled time and then had to wait many additional minutes before I was called in seems to indicate to me that time management is not a priority for the doctor's team.
