Dr. Bear has been practicing general cardiology for more than 25 years diagnosing and treating a wide range of cardiovascular disorders such as hypertension, lipid disorders, congestive heart failure, coronary artery disease, and cardiac arrhythmias.
Dr. Bear’s practice also includes preventative cardiology. He practices both primary (preventing a future cardiovascular event in an asymptomatic patient) and secondary (preventing a repeat cardiovascular event) prevention. Using modern software, technology, as well as laboratory and imaging studies, Dr. Bear identifies which asymptomatic individuals are at the highest risk for developing a future cardiovascular event. Then, he prescribes the appropriate lifestyle changes and medications to reduce their risk. Similar technology is used to prevent repeat cardiovascular events.

He went on to complete his residency in internal medicine from Kennedy Memorial Hospital University Medical Center in Stratford New Jersey. He completed his cardiology fellowship at Chicago Osteopathic Medical Center. He performed another fellowship in interventional cardiology at the University of Virginia Medical Center.
