Dr Knear-Bell excels in listening to what I have to say, explaining the important things that I should focus on without getting bogged down in the irrelevant minutiae. What impressed me was how much he knew just off the top of his head - he's like a walking encyclopedia. And he is able to talk with me without appearing patronizing. That's important.

Since I started seeing Doctor Knear-Bell, my health has improved. I've lost 30lbs and it's a combination of having a great doctor who is sincere and cares for his patient and myself for gaining the confidence within myself. I am sad to say that I'm a UHA member and now that I have to look for care elsewhere, I'm afraid I won't get the same care that I did with Doctor Knear-Bell
