Dr. Pear is really a gem. I have PTSD and anxiety. My problems were compounded by family and friends' stigma towards mental health and my decision to get treatment. Dr. Pearl immediately made me feel comfortable, not only in his presence, but in my decision to seek help. He has a genius with pain that is hard to describe. His ability to listen and express empathy is what stands out. He is professional, caring and extremely knowledgeable. I would recommend Dr. Pearl.

I was a half hour early and he came to take me anyway. He was so kind, professional, and very knowledgeable. He listened to my concerns and actually troubleshooted medication related issues while I was there with the pharmacy and insurance company. I felt much better about everything when I left and would highly recommend this provider to anyone.
