We followed Dr Bear from a previous practice. Since then we have two additional doctors and some phenomenal PA's. Every surgery that my husband has had and he has many have had positive outcomes because of the skilled staff at peak heart and vascular. We would never go anywhere else.

I have been seen at Peak Heart and Vascular since I moved to Arizona 2022. Dr. Robert Bear has taken excellent care of me and my fluctuating issues. Testing when appropriate and medication management based on my current needs. He is extremely thorough and is so caring also. I have also seen Dr Smith yearly to evaluate vascular . I love this practice, in addition to the doctors getting an A+ rating the staff is also excellent. I highly recommend based on my variety of issues that has been dealt with. Thank goodness I am seeing Dr. Bear, he is great.
