“I chose to become an orthopedic surgeon because I wanted to improve patients’ lives and help them get back to enjoying the activities they love. I believe each patient is unique, which is why I take a personalized treatment approach. After discussing a patient’s goals and desires, I work with them to come up with a treatment plan that not only improves their function and decreases their pain but also gets them back to living an active life.”

My experience with Dr. Bear from our first meeting, explanation of the procedure, and the follow-up meeting after surgery was excellent.
