I had been suffering for 10 years with leg hip pain. The source was not obvious to me and within that timeframe became so bad I couldn't walk without limping. It was debilitating chronic pain that I thought eventually would take away my ability to walk altogether. I had seen multiple medical professionals of different fields regarding this and no one could diagnose me despite MRI's therapies etc. Then I met Dr Kachar who diagnosed me after 1 xray. His direct communicative style, supportive confidence and wonderful bedside manner gave me hope when I was both mentally and physically broken. I had hip replacement surgery within 3 weeks of my first visit. Here I am 6 weeks later, recovered, able to walk and with no pain. It is truly a miracle. Today he gave me the "all clear" to do all the activities I want. I cannot say enough good about this doctor as both a competent professional and also about his warmth and kindness through this process. His staff is also fantastic--especially Janelle who was always there to field questions. Thanks so so much, Dr Kachar and your great staff.
