I was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and did a lot of research before deciding on a surgeon. Dr. Bear came higly recommended. His knowledge, compassion and bedside manner are unsurpassed. Having him as my doctor has eased my anxiety while going through cancer treatment. I highly recommend him.

Dr Bear came highly recommended from friends of mine who work at VCU hospital. I was not dissappointed. This is my second round of breast cancer and he was excellent in keeping me informed of my options. I feel very confident I am receiving the best of care and treatment.
