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
