I saw Dr. Calarese and Dr. Bear. They both are in different fields and took time to listen to my needs. I would highly recommend both of them.

Dr.Calarese was great he was detailed and clear on everything. I withheld details that were told to me in ER and Dr.Calarese touched on them and confirmed everything that the ER DR said. He was very honest professional. Think I found a keeper

My first visit at Peak Heart and Vascular was extremely positive. I met with Greg, Dr Tran's nurse practitioner, who impressed me with his professionalism and knowledge. I felt very comfortable answering his questions regarding my health. He took detailed notes and said Dr Tran would be in shortly to introduce himself. Dr Tran, upon entering the room, shook my hand, which I really liked and appreciated. He spoke to me for a few minutes regarding my treatment, which would include an appointment with Dr Stephen Smith, who would determine what my needs were on the vascular side. The two doctors would then be able to offer me an overall treatment plan meeting all of my cardio and vascular needs. I felt I was in very good hands with Dr Tran. I loved his calm bedside manner, and, more importantly, I felt that if I needed to talk to him, he would listen. I did NOT have a positive experience with my previous cardiologist. The organization was too large and my doctor was so terribly busy I was afraid to talk to him. He never spoke to me for more than 5 minutes before he was out the door. Truthfully, I always felt like a number rather than a person. My experience was so much better at Peak and I am looking forward to working with Greg, Dr Tran and Dr Smith and I feel confident that my health needs will be met. Thank you, all of you, for being awesome!!

I have been seen at Peak Heart and Vascular since I moved to Arizona 2022. Dr. Robert Bear has taken excellent care of me and my fluctuating issues. Testing when appropriate and medication management based on my current needs. He is extremely thorough and is so caring also. I have also seen Dr Smith yearly to evaluate vascular . I love this practice, in addition to the doctors getting an A+ rating the staff is also excellent. I highly recommend based on my variety of issues that has been dealt with. Thank goodness I am seeing Dr. Bear, he is great.
