Everyone has always been extraordinary!
What could have been done to improve your experience?
Nothing, I’ve always known them to get right to the point, they are always on time, and they always discuss everything with me fully and understandably.

Dr Dear either has a fantastic memory or he studies my chart before coming into the room. He always knows my issues and is ready to discuss my progress. He is by far the best doctor I have ever seen. Very concerned about all my issues,, there is no dought in my mind that he truly cares.

I commend Dr Dear for his skill set, attention to detail and his overriding desire to insure the patient is fully aware of every aspect of their health condition by showing and giving a detailed explanation of CT scans and all radiology data but all bloodwork that is not only outside the norms but a detailed explanation of the causative probabilities in descending order that makes it very encouraging for patient buy-in. I have a liver, kidney and oncology Dr and Dr Dear is tasked to analyze and articulate each individual doctor’s radiology and lab results to provide a comprehensive care package that will extend my life. He spent over 50 minutes providing me with needed information to allow me to plan my immediate future. His demeanor exudes confidence and assertiveness. These two qualities are ones that I’m most interested in when reviewing my health. This is a very dedicated Man and I’m very pleased to have him directing my health at my advanced age. (72) Sincerely, Stan Wallace
