5.0 star star star star starHe is the best. Very knowledgeable but also listens and does not make assumptions. Always asking patient input on next steps and options. Does not assume. You can tell he is a continual learner that leverages all of his past and present experiences. He is a great role model and example for everyone in this office.

5.0 star star star star starHe has a wonderful œbedside manner?. Patient, very understanding, listens, treated me as if I understood what he talked about. And has a sense of humor, much needed at times when pts. are in need of some good old common sense! I hope Dr. Bare will consider me his patient as I continue my journey thru the aging process. Hes great!

5.0 star star star star starOh my gosh! Dr. Bare is an outstanding doctor! Hes hugely relational. Hugely smart. Explains things very clearly. Inspires confidence. Great listener. Great eye contact. Recommends conservative interventions first. Emphasizes the positive aspects of a given condition. I came away from my appointment feeling optimistic and hopeful about the condition of my knees. I cant say enough superlatives about Dr. Bare. Hes fantastic!

5.0 star star star star starActively listened to what was wrong, showed me the X-rays, told me not only what he thought was wrong but also what it wasnt because of the X-ray; my three treatment options and which he recommended and why

5.0 star star star star starDr Bare was referred to us by a family member and he did not disappoint. He was very kind and explained what was going on and made sure we understood the diagnosis. He was not in a hurry to get to the next patient. He spoke to my teenage daughter and made sure he understood how/what she was feeling since she was the patient. Would recommend him to anyone I know!

5.0 star star star star starDr. Bare was a great listener and he could immediately tell me what was causing my pain, after reviewing my x-rays. He discussed treatment options and aftercare options and he and his staff were just great.
