This physician is better at talking to patients over the phone than in person:
Spear, board-certified in family practice medicine, conducts most of his patient interviews over the phone and runs a “Dial-a-doc” service that almost exclusively deals with patients telephonically. He also has a radio show, “Dial-a-doc,” heard across the state on Thursday mornings on radio stations KUMU and KQNG.
“I’m better at (patient interviews) on the phone,” Spear said Wednesday. “I got so into doing it (that, in the office) I make them sit in another room and do it over the intercom,” he added.
