I am 23 years out from bi-lateral mastectomies performed by Dr. Bear - this was an annual check up. Dr. Bear is an extremely talented surgical oncologist. Always takes time for questions and provides up-to-date information on breast cancer. I have referred other patients to him - Constantly tell him that he can never retire.
