I have been treated by Dr Bear since he had an office in Anthem and I will continue going to Dr Bear. He is always very direct in his approach to my care and that is what I expect. If Dr Bear keeps taking care of me, I expect to live many years beyond my present 85 years.
Thank You Dr Bear

I have been seeing Dr Bear for about 17 years. Very professional and caring. He listens to his patients and is through. His caring forethought I believe helped save my life at a time I could not get proper answers from other doctors. For that I will be forever grateful. His staff has also been very pleasant and professional. I would definitely recommend seeing him if you need a good cardiologist. I use to travel a ways to see him. His office is now closer to home which I love.

I recently got a stress test on an EKG and it was amazing. They know exactly what to do and how to make you feel comfortable. Definitely recommend this place to anyone. Thank you Dr Bear and staff.
