Patient Reviews
Aug 13, 2024
he has been my doctor for over 20 years. I was diagnosed with bipolar one disorder at age 14 and have been on many different medication’s because my body would adjust to the medication no longer work in the past four years there has been a new discovery with medication and I found the perfect medication that has worked for me for the past four years thanks to Dr. Sears. I was younger thinking that he didn’t care but I figured out that if I’m open 100% and honest with him, he will do everything he possibly can to help you get better. I have lived a good normal life thanks to Dr. Sears. I am now working full-time, going to collage and not having to worry about having any episodes. I take a injectable every two months and don’t have to worry about taking a daily medication. He might be blunt but he really cares and knows what he is doing. I will forever be grateful I have my life back thanks to him.
