Care Philosophy
This content was provided by Dr. Gear Jr "My primary interest is to stop the pain and then to find the cause of the pain. When the cause of the pain is diagnosed and understood by both the person and myself; together we can work toward elimination of the source of the pain. Strict attention to anatomy and physiology is a must in coming to the diagnosis, Copy and paste the following for a complete explanation. http://www.comprehensive.ws/uploads/Manipulative_Surgery_presentation_in_words_7-21-08_secured.pdf"

Patient Comments (3)
As a physician I am interested in finding as many of the possible sources of body malfunction as possible. After 52 years of practice I have come to the conclusion that Hippocrates was on track when he was quoted as stating "Look First To The Spine For The Cause Of Disease". That is why I want to see imaging of the spine first. Then I will investigate the rest of the body beginning with the digestive system. This is followed by psychology and then by invading organism evaluation.
