From the moment I arrived at Peak Heart & Vascular Clinic off of Bell and Elmirage Rd in Surprise the office staff and nurse were very professional and welcoming! I was there for an assessment of my family’s heart Hx and my concerns of my heart health. Dr Bear very pleasant and informative. He suggested a test and I had it scheduled! I had test yesterday and staff very knowledgeable and helpful! Thankful for techs that did scan for me because I was quite anxious and nervous…I will find out results on my f/u appointment with Dr Bear! Thank you all for your care and support. P. Haas

Dr Bear is very patient focused. He makes sure all of your questions are addressed. The desk crew, not so much. The often seem to not be focused on the person straight across the counter from them. To me, they give off an air that the patients are a bit of a nuisance.
