    This was my first time with Dr. Bear since Dr. Walt retired in June of last year. He took time to listen and asked questions concerning things that I told him I was feeling in my body. Scheduled a follow up appointment to ensure my blood pressure is under control and review my blood work. My wife and I are happy to have him as our new family doctor.

    This visit was a little longer that usual however his Nurse came to each room and explained the delay due to him having to preform a procedure. This was very nice and assuring instead of just letting you sit in the room and wondering what was taking so long. I really love the way he listens to what you tell him about your condition and he takes notes. I would recommend him to anyone who's looking for a new Physician.
