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.

Unaware of trauma informed care.

Dr. Lear's office fails to file paperwork properly or in a timely manner, which has resulted in patients losing jobs for not having leave approved. Totally unprofessional with erratic office hours and lack of responsibility by a medical "professional!"

Dr. Lear is qualified to provide pre/post natal care through education and experience but lacks in communication, respect and patient involvement. Approaches patients assuming they're disinterested or unintelligent. He half listens, interrupting to provide answers before understanding. Answers are incomplete or irrelevant. If you are intelligent and want included in the process and treated with respect, I suggest looking elsewhere. He is arrogant and has his ego bruised if you have questions.
