It has been my privilege and honor to work alongside Dr. Khare. He had always a smile on his face and was quick to give encouragement. His patients adored him. I enjoyed being a colleague of Dr. Khare and his absence will be keenly felt.

I had the honor of working with Dr. Khare for many years, he is the most caring and humblest physician and human being I have ever met.
He would always come to work with a smile on his face and would make everyone at the clinic happier.
We will sure miss Dr. Khare, but we know he will rest in peace, as fair, honorable men deserve.

Kanak, I have only just recently learned of your loss and send you belated, though much heart felt, sympathy and condolences. I first met Dr. Khare when pregnant with my first child. He was there for me and my boys during and after two pregnancies and deliveries. He took care of my mother in her final days and my father then, and after. As my youngest child seemed more injury and accident prone than most, we had many visits with Dr. Khare and got to know him well:) My youngest fondly remembers these visits, largely due to the stash of jelly beans in Dr. K's left desk drawer, and one of these jelly beans would be given to his young patients at the end of a visit:) I was saddened when he ended his practice in PG but happy for him in his new life and home, where he could be closer to his own children, as he spoke of them often, and always with great pride. Dr. Khare was not just a family physician - he was a physician for the family! The medical community has lost one of its greatest! May it bring comfort to you and your girls to know that Dr. Khare will be truly missed by those of us fortunate enough to have been under his unequaled medical care. And smile when you see jelly beans, knowing there are those of us in PG who, when we see jelly beans, will be fondly thinking of him:)
