MaleAbout Matthew Bear
Dr. Bear practices internal medicine. Not only did the broad scope and variety of primary care attract him to this field, the opportunity to support others is also important to him. “It’s a versatile specialty that makes me most useful to our community,” he said. His interest in science encouraged him to get into health care. Dr. Bear believes that science is a way to know the world. “Learning science satisfies my curiosity and helps me appreciate life. The practice of medicine is a way to make that pursuit useful and beneficial to others.” Dr. Bear graduated from William Carey University College of Osteopathic Medicine in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. He completed his residency at University of Houston – HCA Houston Healthcare Kingwood in Kingwood, Texas. When not working, Dr. Bear enjoys learning about history, listening and playing music, and the peacefulness of golf.

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.

These days it's rare for doctors to take time with you. So many rush & make you feel rushed, but Dr Bear took his time explaining things to me. He was very attentive to my medical needs. I've already told 7 people about switching their care over to him.

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.
