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.

I brought my 91yr old mother for her appt with Dr Calarese regarding her heart condition. My mother has always been reluctant to go see any doctor especially seeing a specialist. When we first arrived at the office, the staff was nice and we felt comfortable. Dr Calarese was very warm, friendly and had a great attitude which made mother feel comfortable. He explained her heart condition, he took the time to listen to her regarding her personal opinion on her health. After everything was said and done, he suggested for her to meet Dr Bear, a cardiologist to have her schedule an appt to establish care for her heart and for monitoring her blood pressure. I was surprised she listened to Dr. Calarese, I think it was because of his caring nature that she took his advice and scheduled an appt.to see Dr. Bear. Overall a great experience!
