Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Even when there’s a pile of contrary evidence from courts, neighbors, banks, and loved ones, Dr. Searce will document that an elderly patient is completely capable of paying bills on time, making good decisions, and not getting lost. It’s baffling.

Concerned Caregiver – Apr 01, 2025
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Scearce?
Dr. Searce convinced my dad that his worsening dementia might be due to a B12 deficiency, even though B12-related dementia takes many years to develop. My dad's B12 was fine the year prior. Searce also refuses to talk to caregivers/family privately, even after acknowledging notes in the patient's file about the patient's volatile behavior. My father's other providers were stunned, and Dr. Searce caused our family huge, lasting problems because my father remained in complete denial from this appointment forward.

Great Doctor!!
Dr Scearce truly sets the standard for patient care and professionalism. He is genuine and to the point, I've had about 4 or 5 appointments with him and I always know I'm getting the best care and treatment.

Very impressed!
I had my first appointment with a neurologist today and saw Dr. Scearce. I was so impressed. He had obviously acquainted himself very well with my history. His questions prompted me give him information that I did not know was important. He was very thorough. He did a great job answering my questions. One of the most impressive things was that he asked me what my primary concern was regarding my condition. How rare to have this addressed! He gave me several natural alternatives to try for my situation and told me where we could go if these did not work. His manner was very pleasant and I left the office feeling empowered. I would recommend him most highly.

I have Parkinson's disease (PD) and have been seeing Dr Tim Scearce for 3 years. Tim is very thorough with his diagnoses and treatments. Prior to seeing Tim for a second opinion, I had 3 visits with another KP neurologist who failed to diagnose my condition despite my own diagnose based on extensive research over the internet. On my first visit with Tim, he spent much more time with me and agreed that I did have PD, although mild at the time, and prescribed medication which significantly reduced the effects of PD and provided literature and contact information on programs providing therapeutic exercises for persons with PD. He is very thorough and caring - one of the very best physicians I have had! Edward Ingham, Ph.D. eutic

"Dr Scearce has been my Neurologist for almost 7 years now towards treating my Arachnoid Cyst He has always been upfront, and very attentive to my needs, as well as my treatment. I have seen other Neurologist for this issue who were horrible and brushed it off as it was nothing, or wanted to do invasive treatments which were not needed. Dr Scearce and I have set up a plan for now, and in the future encase it should grow. I really like him a lot along with his staff. Would highly recommend him "
