“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.”

Patient Testimonials

Doc Bear was great, and he put up with me being a baby about a needle.

Doctor Bear was an awesome doctor and easy to talk to. He listens to his patients, and that is important to me. I like him he is very polite.

Dr. Bear was very professional and very kind open. He made me feel really relaxed.

Dr. Bear’s exam was thorough and thoughtful. This provided me a relatively high confidence level in his recommended course of treatment, along with an understanding of further measures that may be needed if the initial treatment did not resolve my finger pain and movement issues.

The staff was friendly. Dr. Bear was super nice, and I was made to feel confident in his ability to proceed with surgery. He also has a sense of humor!
