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.

Amazing Doctor!!
This man assessed my pain and the location of needed adjustments simply by watching me stand and walk. He first gave me a thorough adjustment and then suggested a different type of adjustment for some nagging hip pain I had been experiencing for just over six years. He gave me a certain type of “stretch“ adjustment on a special adjustment table which was absolutely amazing. He fixed a sciatic nerve situation in that one single session. I’ve never had any more issues of any kind.Dr. Gear is the best of the very best.

Love Dr Gear
I was a patient of Dr Gear for many years and can attest to the miracles he provided to my family and me. When he was practicing full time out of his Phoenix office, my family and I were regulars. My wife is a dentist and has lots of shoulder, neck and back issues. Dr Gear is the only one one who could give her relief. He even opened his office on weekends for us, on a number of occasions, when we were having severe pain.I wish more doctors would learn his traction and adjustment techniques. He is a pioneer in his field and an example of what naturopaths and chiropractors should aspire to.Thank You Dr Gear !The Tesoniero Family

He talked about himself for an hour, never addressed why I was there, looked at my back through clothes without touching me and said I had had a trauma to my back, which wasn't true. I wasn't even there for back problems, I was there to talk naturopathy, and he said he wouldn't do consult on anything until I had my back x-rayed. I understand that alignment is important to all our body's "systems', but I can't believe I spent so much money to hear a man bloviate for an hour about how amazing he is while ignoring my health concerns and history. NOT a good listener, something I want in a doctor.

Dr Gear may request a full set of x-rays but remind him that he might want to also read the report that accompanies them. He failed to tell us about "Suggestion of focal osteolysis of the sixth rib near midaxillary line with an accompanying pleural-based mass (3.6 x 3.4 cm) which could represent a metastatic deposit for which a whole-body radionuclide bone scan is advised for further assessment." 3 weeks later my husband was diagnosed with a tumor in his spine.

He was nice, to the point, he explained all that I needed to know at the time.. He is full of knowledge and is eager to share what he knows. He took his time with us, never felt rushed.. He ran about 45 minutes behind, but it was such a great atmosphere, we didn't mind hanging around!! Ivy was wonderful.,Also full of knowledge.. I left with an order to have a whole lot of X-rays done, but this shows me that he is very thorough!
