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.

Poor patient communication
She seemed to not care after awhile and lost any record of my EKG

When Michele Migliore closed her practice I didn’t think I would find another physician like her. My second attempt resulted in Kari Sears, M.D. Dr. Sears is like a good friend, listens to everything and tries a lot of my suggestions. I just love her calm and knowledgeable personality!

Dr. Sears is such a wonderful doctor. She has gotten me through pneumonia when I thought I was going to die. Her office staff is great, she is near my home and provides ample parking. My only complaint is that she no longer sees patients at Saint Joseph Medical Center although I hope I don't have to go there again.

Absolute best Doctor I've ever had. Professional, upbeat, makes you feel at ease and gives you great detail about your health questions. When I leave after a visit I feel confident my health is in good hands.

Dr. Sears is a phenomenal physician. She is attentive during my appointment(s), always explains everything very well and her "bedside manner" is second to none. (she even has a fun personality and a sense of humor...imagine that!) The staff in her office are always friendly and I've never had to wait for an unreasonable amount of time. I highly recommend Dr. Sears!

She listens to your concerns, takes her time, never rushes. Knows her stuff, keeps up to date, cares about her patients in an obvious way. She is friendly and personable. I highly reccommend her to my friends and acquaintances.
