    Dr. Sears is by far the best PCP I've ever had. He listens, he explains, he discusses treatment options in easy to understand ways, he's nonjudgmental, in short, he cares.

    The visit was basically routine. There were only a few things I was wondering about, and my analysis of them were proven to be correct. I was happy to learn that they were not anything to be worried about at least presently.
