I have been seeing Dr. Behar for a few years now.  I love him and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.  He is one of the few doctors I know that takes his time and actually listens to me.  He was able to diagnose me after listening to me during my first visit, when I had seen several other doctors who really couldn't have taken the time.
