Dec 14, 2021
Dr. Bear removed my kidney stone, and stents that were needed during my ordeal. He gave great care and I appreciate his bedside manner and pleasant disposition. The kidney stone pain was immense but he helped me manage the pain and I am so very thankful for that support and understanding.
