My advice would be before you choose Dr. Chaar as your primary oncologist to look into other oncologists before you make your final decision . This doctor LACKS compassion . My dad was diagnosed with a rare form of pancreatic cancer in 2018 and started recieving treatment from Dr. Chaar. My dad was already at stage 3 so he started chemo immediately. Dr. Chaar would talk about how "numbers are looking great","everything looking good" when it came to labs. But he didn't keep a close eye on my dad's cancer as I think he should. Scans tell you alot because you will be able to find out if the cancer has spread or not. However, it would be a long gap between scans just so my dad can continue chemo treatments. Just to find out the chemo did not work at all and the cancer kept spreading. Dr. Chaar got to the point in coming to the room not even speaking to me/ no eye contact but to my dad only like they were the only two in the room. (How unprofessional is that?) He didn't have compassion when talking about how its spreading he was only concerned about getting him to try another round of chemo and had a "matter of fact" attitude about it. My stayed hopeful and went through rounds of chemo, 2 surgeries, and radiation. At the end my dad's cancer still progressed to stage 4. No one. Not even Dr. Chaar or the outpatient clinic Affiliated Oncologist was brave enough to say he was dying. We never heard it was "time to get affairs in order"and they never gave us a prognosis. First time hearing a prognois is when my dad was in the emergency room due to excessive pain and the doctors at the hospital told my family and I that we were looking at under a year for my dad. 3 weeks later after my dad was released from the hospital my dad passed away. Dr. Chaar/Affiliated Oncologist did not prepare us AT ALL. I didn't understand/ know how close to death he actually was and it happened so fast. I understand to not to destroy all hope but I think that there is an importance in helping patients and their families understand the reality of their situation so there is time to mentally process.

Dr. Chaar saved my life. He was always willing to answer questions and was very precise about my treatment plan. He is a doctor who actually cares. If these other people had difficulty understanding him, they just weren't paying attention.

Dr Chaars communication skills are very weak.He is not able to communicate the disease and plan of action most likely due to his heavy accent and more frustrating thing is that he gets upset if told his conversation was not understood.I mean whats the point in seeing a Doctor especially when you got cancer and you are not even getting good verbal information let alone medical care.Since then i moved and got treatment and am now cancer free.

This is all my personal feelings and none is meant to be libelous,,Opinion ONLY...Now that that is said....He has a cold appearance, I have to agree that he seems to have decided his agenda regarding your care, he assumes that what the test shows may not be what is going on. He made a wrong decision that caused more intensive medical treatment. I would suggest that getting another opinion from a larger Cancer Center in a larger city where cancer treatments are discovered every day this is your life take it seriously. LOOK for a doctor who has practiced for no less than 15 yrs in your form of cancer not a general md

I think he is not a doctor that listens to you and he has his own agenda, does what he wants not interested in your opinions I would go elsewhere for good cancer care.
