We had something going on with our daughter that we had already ruled out through other means and rheumatology was the next step. And the doctor was exceedingly patient with us, gave a lot of explanations and really helped us track down what was going on. I really appreciate them.
Amazing!
Both Doctor and PA were both friendly. They were extremely thorough during the visit as they examined the body and joints. Asked lots of good questions and gave good information.
They were so attentive and patient
The doctor was very kind & considerate given the circumstances of my main concerns. Great bedside manner.
Everyone was so nice and helpful - The doctors and the nurses. We really appreciate that.
Kind Thorough
We love that she just really takes the time to listen thoroughly, make sure that myself and my daughter understands, is comfortable, addresses any concerns, and really chooses like the best path forward for healing and help.
(Staff name) is always wonderful to us. She knows my son and recognizes him when we come in. I can tell that Dr. Bearer really cares about her patients. She's the kind of doctor that people search for. I'm glad that she takes such great care of my son.
I love Dr Bearer! I would love to see her (and all ACH specialists) grow in the area of treating her patients holistically. Maybe being more willing to talk about my child's entire health and how concerns interact across disciplines and impact the overall well-being of my child. No one talks about this. Referrals are handed out to other specialists; and specialists don't communicate well with each other. My child has at least 5 specialists, with no one considering how all of these things overlap and interact and cross disciplines.
