I am not sure why Dr. Kar had no interest in me as a patient. I wish he would have told me to find another Dr. By the time I went to another Dr. for my kidney stone lithotripsy did no good. He then referred me to a doctor at UCI. I had surgery to remove the kidney stone that was 1" X 1/2". I had suffered with pain for more than two years.

Rude staff and horrible doctor! He is an hour late to see patients and then hardly spends any time with you at your appointment.

Dr. Kar performed my prostatectomy in July, 2014. I was very impressed with Dr. Kar & his staff throughout the entire process. They were all very helpful before during and after the procedure. He was recommended to me by my personal doctor who I have known for over 25 years. I would highly recommend him.

Dr. Ashok Kar is a super urologist. Makes a great assessment before doing any surgery, He checks the urological complications what they are explains everything to the patient. You are lucky if you get this Dr. To operate your prostrate.

As soon as Dr.Kar found out I did not have insurance,I might as well left right then. He couldn't of cared less about me and couldn't wait to get me out of the office.

Dr.Kar has treated my husband for cancer for several years. We have found him to be a very effective, conscientious, hardworking doctor.His operating room skills are excellent. We have been impressed with the caring he has shown us during difficult times.I paged him once when my husband was in the ER and was not being treated after 90 minutes. He actually came down to the ER and got things moving. We are grateful for his care.His staff is friendly when I call on the phone.Dr.Kar is great about fitting my husband in for an appointment if he has a problem. This may occasionally lead to a little longer wait, but surely it is worth it when a doctor tries to be accessible to his patients.

This doctor not only misdiagnosed my family member, but nearly killed him as well in surgery due to his negligence. I would NEVER recommend him to anyone.

My rating for this doctor was taken off of this site. It did not contain anything that was not true. I would like to know why this happened.

Dr. Kar has saved my husband's life three times. First from Prostate Cancer, second from a cancer on the penis, and third from a growth in his kidney. We love Dr. Kar and recommend him to anyone with a urology problem.

This doctor not only misdiagnosed my father, but nearly ****ed him to death. He was in intensive care for days on life support. It truly is a miracle he is alive today -- thanks to the doctors at USC Medical Center. After this incident, Dr. Kar said that he was sorry and that he was finding it hard to return to the O.R. Oh, how I pitied his next patient! I doubt if this doctor was reprimanded by the hospital administration because he brings a lot of revenue to the hospital, and that's the bottom line right there -- money. I have heard that this doctor has since been promoted to Chief of Staff. I have a real problem with that. I wonder if this doctor has a conscience. We tried to sue this attorney for malpractice, but once you sign that release, you are basically giving the doctor a license to kill. FUTURE PATIENTS BEWARE!
