Gerald M. Kovar, MD

I have been a patient of Dr. Kovar‘s since approximately 1996. I knew immediately that I struck gold.
Over the years, I have been struggling with two very painful conditions. Dr. Kovar and his staff have been my Medical team, my cheerleaders, my partners in health, and the reason that I’m vertical to this day. Dr. Kovar did not run away from treating me when things got very complicated. He dug in further. As long as I live, I will never forget that and I will follow him wherever he may go professionally, Dr. Kovar isn’t just a doctor. He’s a detective, he’s a friend, and he’s beyond brilliant.
From the bottom of my heart, I thank all of you involved in gifting me with people who do so much more than Drs do. I also think Sarah, who carries a tremendous load in making sure that this office is like a well oiled machine. She’s loving and talented and I can’t praise her enough.

Dr. Kovar has been there for our family for many years and many critical times and it's difficult to name just one that mattered most. He has always provided excellent care and so these are just a few examples. He saved my mother's life when Lyme Disease was fairly new and unknown in California and other doctors dismissed her symptoms; he visited my father at a rehab facility for the two months he was there and was a great comfort to him and me and even did a home visit when he was close to dying and unable to go into the office; he has been there for my husband during countless ailments and surgeries; and he's been a lifesaver for me during difficult tines dealing with anxiety and depression as well as other times. With Dr. Kovar we always feel listened to and well cared for and that he'd never recommend anything for us that he wouldn't recommend to his own family. It really is impossible to put into words our appreciation and admiration for Dr. Kovar.

I have been with Dr. Gerald Kovar since 1980 and have benefited from our long-term relationship and his expertise with my medical history. Dr. Kovar has been through my history of kidney stones and on my third or fourth episode with a kidney stone, sometime in the late ‘80’s, I called him up and said I think I’m experiencing the symptoms of a kidney stone again. Dr. Kovar met me in the emergency room to confirm my situation and took care of me immediately without experiencing the pain associated with kidney stones. I still remain with Dr. Kovar after 44 years.

Dr. Kovar has been my internist for 25 years. Recently Dr. Kovar volunteered to accompany me to a medical test that he knows will be difficult for me. I thought he was kidding, but he was not. In my view, this goes "above and beyond" the norm. This is an example of the level of care that Dr. Kovar extends to his patients. I am extremely grateful for his support in this matter. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Kovar and his assistant Sarah. They are always helpful and there for me. Thank you both.
