Dr Bear is consistently amazing. On my visit 8/20/24, Rachel who checked me in was aggressive, pushy and acted with more authority than she will ever have. I was seeing Dr Bear for a follow up visit after weeks of PT to alleviate excruciating pain from a torn rotator cuff. The recent injection and weeks of PT have eliminated a great deal of the pain and Dr Bear would advise as to whether PT was needed going forward. Rachel asked me if I was having pain in my shoulder and I said no, not at this moment. Rachel then leaned forward, crossed her arms and in a very condescending tone asked, if you’re not having pain then why are “we” here? She was also aggressive while taking my BP and her overall attitude made me feel like a disobedient 6 yr old. If anything, she should have been as happy as I was to not be in the unbearable pain I’d had previously. I’ve been a patient at Ortho exclusively for over 8 years and she is the first and hopefully last emp I encounter who is so arrogant.

My first visit with Dr. Bear, and he and his staff truly won me over! Everyone was so kind and helpful, and Dr. Bear was very knowledgeable about my condition. Gave me wonderful advice. I would strongly recommend Dr. Bear and everyone I encountered during this visit. Thank you all so much!
