Dr. Bean prescribed me a medication that in the past I have already reported will not let me sleep, during a time where I am already having trouble sleeping.

Twice in the last 12 months, Dr Bean referred me to Specialists after reviewing abnormal routine office blood tests and listening to my symptoms. In both cases, his concerns were justified and they resulted in critical surgery and treatments without which would have ended my life. I can't say enough about him and his wonderful caring nurse Ginger.

My daughter went to see Dr. Bean yesterday bc she was not feeling well. She had a cold but thought she might have an ear infection. He told her that happens and did not examine her. I would not recommend him.

I have used Dr. Bean for many years and he is always very responsive and helpful. He and his staff schedule needed tests quickly and he has made himself available via the portal system and via telephone for prescription requests and other questions. He also listens to what I have to say.
