I was very, very impressed with Dr. Khattar. He is a very good surgeon and I would highly recommend him for anybody that needs a surgeon to work on their back or whatever. Thank you.

This is my first visit to this doctor and I can honestly say they were all very professional. Have a returned appointment in three months and hopefully it goes this smoothly then also.

The doctor and staff are amazing and that applies to all of the physicians my husband have seen. We are so impressed that we drive 1 1/2hr to get there because we do not want to change any of the physicians.

I recommend Dr. Khattar very highly. It took weeks to be able to see him. I believe NEA area, and St. Bernard's in particular, should seek to hire additional neurologists. Everyone in the extremely crowded waiting room and waiting hallway was anxious but for one or two patients, with long waits for all due to this long awaited date and an emergency on this morning for the doctor. However, the doctor was friendly and relatable and very interested in my wellbeing, which lessened my anxiety over my pinched spinal cord immensely. He discussed I need no treatment soon, and fielded questions patiently. Overall - 9/10 from me, and I would return if I need to do so.
