I have trusted Dr. Kacmar for over 20 years. It started with a nagging college cheerleading injury which had gone from pain to partial paralysis of my left arm in my early 30's. He diagnosed and resolved it. He is a problem solver looking for a root cause, not just attacking symptoms, and he has demonstrated this over 2 decades with me as well as my wife and both of our children, now in their 20's. So just in our family he has covered a gamut of issues all with the same thoughtful, caring approach. Do note this does mean he takes more time with you to really sort things out.

This place used to be good. Great actually. My family has been coming here for over 15 years. Over the last few years, things have started to go really down hill. You receive constant calls and text messages about making appointments (that aren’t necessary). I had myself taken off their reminder list, but was put back on after 2 or 3 months. When they call to confirm your appointment, they want you to settle your copay up front “before services are rendered”. My parents received a scathing letter in the mail from their “billing department”, even though we’ve been forced to pay for services

I was dismissed as a patient today after several years of being patients of Dr Kacmar because I disagreed with the receptionist who told me I needed to pay them an out of pocket. I disagreed because I knew I had met my out of pocket. The girl got rude with me and I told her I refused to be talked to like that. I called my insurance to verify I was correct and I was. When I called back to let them know I was on hold 10 mins then told I am being dismissed as a patient for being combative. I asked to speak to the office manager Shannon and was told she was busy and the message was coming from her
