He specializes in critical care medicine, pulmonary arterial hypertension, and evaluation of breathlessness of undetermined origin. He offers advanced or invasive cardiopulmonary exercise testing. We are one of the few centers nationally capable of such testing which is the “gold standard” to diagnose the root cause of exercise intolerance and help guide treatment decisions. Dr. Sears is the principal investigator for industry sponsored research investigations in pulmonary arterial hypertension and critical care medicine. He is also the Medical Education Director of Clinical Research for Graduate Medical Education. He has a passion for clinical research and medical education.

Nothing regarding visit, but filling out this survey was difficult. The program or format is such that answers change when you attempt to scroll down between questions. Someone not carefully following might provide an answer not intended.

This was my first visit with Dr. Sears. I liked him immediately, finding it easy to talk to him and feeling very much at ease. He was very thorough and took time to explain things. He was thoughtful and caring, making new discoveries concerning my health and sharing this information in a way not to alarm me. We came up with a plan which also helped. I feel I could not have asked for more.

All good!! Dr. Sears came about due to previous smoking history so not my usual MD. Cannot say enough good things about the "My Health" app - ALL information is there for any provider I choose.

Friendly, calm, very knowledgeable... And Dr. Sears seemed actually interested. I liked that a lot. I also appreciated the demonstration of how to use new med apparatus; I'd never seen a demonstration in a doctor's office before yesterday, only incomprehensible drawings.

If ever there was the 'perfect provider's and 'perfect staff's it would be Dr Steven Sears and his Medical Staff, and Receptionists. I am always treated with kindness and understanding by all. Dr Sears is probably the most caring and informed Doctor I've had in my years. He and everyone who works in his Clinic get my 2 thumbs up, and a Perfect 10!
