Dr. Kovar has been my physician for many years. He has been an amazing doctor but I'm sure most people would say the same thing about their own doctor. What Dr. Kovar has that other doctors are lacking is Sarah Straw, his assistant. Sarah has always taken a personal interest in the practice's patients. She is kind, caring and knows what she's doing.

It's more than amazing to me to have known Dr. Kovar for 40 years now. Dr. Kovar is the greatest and has seen me through a number of kidney stones and other health issues, taking care of each with ease and comfort. I've become stronger and healthier with Dr. Kovar's close attention to details, proper care, all my test levels/analysis, and communicating effectively each report… See more

Dr, Kovar always seems interested in seeing the whole patient, not just the medical aspects. His exams are thorough. He then discusses the results and explains their meaning. I have never found any other doctor in whom I feel so confident.
Dr. Kovar:
National Doctors Day is the perfect time to express my appreciation of you as our doctor and friend.
On December 9, 2016 you diagnosed my symptoms as Guillain-Barre syndrome. You arranged for my admittance at Tarzana Hospital . You also contacted Dr. Dominick who saw me and arranged for treatment starting that same day. I remained in intensive care for 13 days… See more
My wife and I have been with Doctor Kovar before he was with MDVIP.
Because of the excellent caring service he provided that is why we
continued with him into his MDVIP practice.We can't imagine being with
another doctor because of his concern about or well being and health.
Thank you Doctor Kovar. Hope we have many more years together.
