Dr. Sears has been treating my asthma for at least 4 years. I certainly expect competent medical care with any physician. However, Steven Sears goes considerably beyond that. He is both friendly and courteous. He remembers our discussions and my medical circumstances from prior appointments. He consistently demonstrates concerns for both my medical and Rx needs, helping me to find a lower cost alternative when one Is available. A true and caring professional who consisentely exceeds my expectations.

The team was respectful and friendly, from making the appointment, checking In, to getting ready for the visit, in the exam room. Dr. Sears is at the top of my list of preferred providers. He listened attentively to me, asked questions to make sure we had all of the relevant information and invited a conversation about options to form a plan going forward. I have upmost confidence in Dr. Sears in helping me to pursue resolving the issues which prompted this follow up visit.
