    My first dealings with Carl Dear was during a hospital stay in which I was being treated badly so I checked myself out and went to him while he was with Dr. Maul. Carl Dear did above and beyond what I was hoping for and I went back to the hospital with clearer thoughts was to my treatment at the hospital. I came back to Carl Dear when Dr. Maul quit his practice and I have been very happy to find Carl Dear as nice as when I first saw him.

    I make the journey from [omitted], Texas, twice a year to visit Carl Dear, and it’s something I truly look forward to. My husband often wonders, "Why not find a doctor here in Fort Worth?" While I appreciate the medical services available locally, there's something comforting about the relationship I've built with Carl and his staff. Their understanding and care make a difference, and I value the trust and rapport we've developed over time.
