Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Kargar
I’m a caregiver and my client has had so much trouble getting her to listen. She had little to no faith that my client could get better and constantly is down playing her abilities. I wouldn’t recommend kargar to anyone.

very good Internal Medicine Physician
Very thorough physician. Very complete work-up. It is true, she does not always tell you what you want it here, but she does tell you what you need to know for good healthcare.

Dr Kargar lacks thoroughness and concern. I've been ill for 2 months and a blood test has never been ordered.

I hurt myself, back in 1993. I was discussing that it was getting worse, and she informed me it was because I was fat. She refused to see me for bariatric issues, even though my insurance required it. She only wanted to be a go between for specialists, not be my doctor.

The arrogance of her ignorance regarding autoimmune diseases was appauling, and her comments were insulting. I will never go back to her. No wonder she is always accepting patients...after one visit, you never go back. I certainly won't, and I will NEVER reccommend anyone to see her. As one reviewer commented, "it isn't difficult to see her if you have an urgent need"...I'm sure this may possibly be because she doesn't have a high return rate of patients, so she has openings.

Dr. Kargar is rude and unprofessional with her patients. My elderly aunt saw her and she would not listen to a word she said or listen to questions or requests. She wanted her to have several lengthy and involved tests that may or may not improve her condition. My aunt has an end stage condition and is only interested in quality of life, not quantity. Dr. Kargar would not refill a medication that has proven to relieve my aunts symptoms. Pendleton is suffering greatly from a doctors shortage and this doctor will continue to be allowed to be rude to her patients. I think she needs to be reminded where her paycheck comes from.

My family gives Dr Kargar a 5. She listens and responds...if what you need is not her specialty then, yes, she will refer you to a specialist. But she understands that the patient needs to do whatever is necessary to help themselves, too....sometimes in life it takes more than just going to the Dr to get “fixed”. We will continue with her....

It is the worst decision in my life to select Dr. Kargar as my PC. I was never treated with respect for my conditions in addition I received harsh comments and insults when discussed my concerns over the health problems. She advised me to live through certain conditions, accept it as life = no treatment. I was asked to take 2nd appointment if I have more than 1 health problem to discuss in given 20 min time. When asked questions, gets irritated and takes revenge by denying insurance coverage.

As someone who worked in a hospital, I believe she is a good Dr. She has accommodated by needs very well. It is not difficult to get in to see her if you have an urgent need.
