Went in to see Dr. Kacmar for a routine follow up exam which went well. I also asked him to look at a cicada mite bite that I received recently as it did not appear to be healing. Dr. Kacmar took one look at it and immediately detShow moreermined that it had resulted in cellulitis and needed to be treated immediately. He prescribed an antibiotic and a steroid and assured me it would clear up quickly, which it did. Dr. Kacmar is outstanding and I'm glad to have him!
Dr Kacmar is fantastic!! He has helped me through many years of back pain until I finally was ready to do surgery. He has reassured me when I was at my sickest that I would be good again. He’s always patient, listens, and has takeShow moren good care of me even when I needed a last minute appointment. I wish all doctors were like him. I appreciate him more than he will ever know.

I have recommended several people to Dr Kacmar. All three of my adult children have been treated by the doctor. We all appreciate the treatment by all the staff.

Appreciate their attentiveness and quick diagnosis
I had a last minute visit with the nurse practitioner - she was awesome responsive and very helpful!!!
Dr Kacmar is a great guy. He is very patient and concerned for his patients. I find his attitude to be very refreshing in a time when a lot of doctors are more concerned about making a quick buck rather than the patients welfare.
Great physician for people with sports issues.

Very helpful.
Great doctor
I really appreciate the way Dr. Kacmar and his staff are so understanding. I enjoy being a patient in his practice, and I highly recommend him and his staff to new patients.
Dr. K is the best! Yes, you occasionally wait longer than your appointment time but that is because he is giving his all to every patient he sees. I am very particular about a primary care doctor and Dr. K has set the bar for all primary care doctors. But I think all these five star reviews are making it harder and harder for me to see him. :)
Very detailed explanation doctor and take cares all issues
Very friendly family doctor.
Very thorough exams, goes extra mile to find cause of medical issue, spends whatever time is needed with patient
Doctor Kacmar is wonderful. He really listens and works hard to make sure patient gets the best care. Staff is friendly and efficient.
Once again it is a great experience. I went in for a follow-up appointment from labs. Dr. Kacmar comes in, greets me with a handshake and asks how I'm doing, as he always does. I had made a brief list of some concerns which had come up, and he sat down and discussed my concerns to my satisfaction and did examine me. We then made a decision as to how to proceed. When you are in an examining room, read the framed statement on the wall. That statement is absolutely true, Dr. Kacmar truly cares about his patients and it shows in his care and concern.
ALWAYS pleasant and thorough! Staff treats me professionally and respectfully. They are ALL truly compassionate and kind.
Dr. Kacmar is wonderful!! He truly care for your health and if there is something, he try to find out what is the origin, and all the previous doctors that I consult never care for finding the cause. I really recommend him!
