My experience today 3/16/23 was nothing short of amazing. The staff were all in sync & most importantly they were all smiling. Let me say meeting Dr. Bear was another amazing experience. He was polite & interacted/spoke with everyone in the waiting area. Such a nice breath of fresh energy especially when new patients are nervous.

First off the front desk staff were very polite and helpful. They spoke very clearly so I could understand what they were saying. They did a superb job in scheduling me for my upcoming appointments and printed them out for me awesome. The medical assistant was amazing when taking down my information and Phil did a great job connecting the EKG tabs to me and also when removing them. Dr. Bear was very informative and explained everything to me so I would know what he is going to do. Thank you for being outstanding Dr. Bear and his staff.
