Robert J Zagar, PHD

Going to see Dr. Zagar was the best decision I have ever made! Before going to see Dr. Zagar I was suffering from PTSD as a result from my experience in the military, extreme depression, and my life was falling apart. From the moment I spoke to Dr. Zagar on the phone to schedule my first meeting I knew I was speaking to a person who truly cares about his patients and his professionalism made me feel like I could trust him.
His approach is based on his extensive research that provides a clear path towards wellness by identifying the root causes for issues I personally was failing to recognize and address. Dr. Zagar provided me with patience and understanding. The tools he has shown me to deal with my problems has enriched my life and am now happier and healthier than I have ever been. As a veteran and at a time where we are losing so many veterans to suicide, Dr. Zagar saved my life. I would recommend him to anyone. Thank you Dr. Zagar!

I truly regret ever bringing my child to this man’s office. I should have been suspicious the first time I spoke to him. He had availability for an appointment any time of the day or week while other professionals in his field needed 6 to 10 weeks. The presentation was also underwhelming. His office is tiny, cluttered, and outdated with old computers. Something seemed off.
This man is unethical and a liar. I reported him to the better business bureau and instead of dealing with the issue at hand he went on a tirade of lies about me. The sad thing is that he didn’t even have the good sense to realize that his lies are easily repudiated. This made the situation even more bizarre.
I agree with the other reviewers. The positive reviews were suspiciously added within days of each other. I would never recommend this man to my worst enemy. It’s been a horrible experience…

My husband and I saw Dr. Zagar for marriage counseling for 7 months in 2013. He has really made a difference in our marriage. My husband recently saw a psychiatrist and Dr. Zagar was able to provide his psychiatrist with additional information to help appropriately diagnose him. Needless to say both doctors had the same diagnosis and worked together to determine the best treatment for him. Dr. Zagar is highly educated and caring and I am very thankful for his help. I believe he saved our marriage and I highly recommend him to others for individual and marriage counseling.

I went to see Dr. Zagar when I felt like i needed to talk to a psychologist for the first time in my life and I had doubts about it. He was very professional on his approach and helped me to get over with my problems. I was very frustrated and had a lot of question marks in my life and my career, he helped me to calm down and solve them one by one. I owe him a lot.
He is also one of the smartest entrepreneurs I have ever seen. He came up with a scientific solution in his field that is going to change a lot of people’s lives. He doesn’t only care about his patients and but he wants to make a difference in his field which proves that he is a very good doctor.

To keep it concise:
this Child Neuropsychologist, who is also a full-​time narcissist, grossly misdiagnosed my child because he refused to listen to parental feedback. He caused my child to suffer years of added struggle during which time his teachers and actual reputable doctors worked tirelessly to properly evaluate & diagnose him.
Dr. Zagar’s demeanor is off putting at best, completely jarring at worst. He blathers on about unrelated cultural topics during appointments (ie, gun control, violent youth in our society, etc) and does not allow you to get a word in edgewise.
His office itself is filthy, overrun with dust laden paperwork and severely outdated computers. There is no reception area, he is the only one who can let you in — so when he inevitably shows up 30 minutes late — there has been no where to sit — except on the hallway floor. Classy!
These complaints aside, for me, what was most telling, was that I took his finished report to a well respected Child Neuropsychologist for review — and she implored me to NEVER show it to another medical proffesional again due to how inaccurate and innapropriate it was. I believe the Dr’s exact words were «if you show this report to any other Doctor, it will make you & your family look absolutely crazy. Strike this one from the record. Let’s start fresh.»
‘Nuff said.
