Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Lear has been my pcp for over 30 years and I have followed his practice to the various clinics he's been at. I feel to him as a friend as well as my physician and know that I can count on him to be factual, concerned of my well-being, and a "good guy" to boot. My understanding he is retiring soon and I hate to see him go. He's been a blessing to me and my family.

Dr. Lear immediately referred to a breast cancer specialist with the discovery of a suspicious lump. Ff lumpectomy by specialist, chemo,radiation and then onset of incredible pain, the surgeon prescribed a pain med and said: Pain is something you will have to learn to live with. When enormous, arm swelling occurred, it was Dr. Lear who diag. lymphedema and cellulitis; prescribed antibiotics, referred to specific therapist for help. Sadly, our grandchildren will never know what whole patient care and the term true "physician" means.

I loved this Doctor. He is thorough and very knowledgeable. He reminds me of the ole time Doctors that have time to listen and care for your concerns. He helped me more in 1 visit than several with another doctor.

I actually can't believe that he has good reviews, this might have been one of the most uncomfortable visits with a doctor I have ever had. Very judgmental wow, I'm at a loss for words.
