Summary

My goal as a family medicine doctor is to help my patients live their best life possible. To me this means motivating my patients to embrace healthy habits, troubleshooting what is holding them back, and minimizing the negative effects of medical conditions. By personality I am a minimalist. I was trained to scrutinize evidence. As a result, I avoid treatments and interventions where the benefit does not clearly outweigh the harm. I also encourage my patients to stop treatments which may be harmful for them.

It is an honor to be a family medicine doctor and residency faculty member. I love the family aspect of family medicine where I am privileged to care for entire families from small children to grandparents. Clinically, I have special interests in musculoskeletal medicine. I am the Post Falls High School Team Physician. I also am in charge of the residents’ musculoskeletal education. Other clinical special interests include mental health and dermatology.

Personally, I grew up in Coeur d’Alene, ID and have a deep love for all that the Idaho outdoors have to offer.

Dr. Bean is always through and patient with my questions and problems. My only complaint is that, as one of the heads of the residency program he is harder to get into, but on the plus side it means he's training more doctors to be like him.

This was a new patient appointment that took about 45 minutes. I was taken back at my scheduled time and Dr. Bean came in shortly after the nurse had taken my vitals. We spent approximately 30 minutes reviewing my history and clarifying health issues. Dr. Bean was very pleasant and suggested some alternative treatment plans we might try. The care services rendered were excellent.

I really enjoy being seen by Dr. Bean he is enjoyable to talk with and he is very understanding and through. I like the way he goes over things and explains it in the way that a layman can understand. The staff is great and very helpful also.

Dr. Bean took considerate time w/ me & provided the care any patient would want. He is genuine & sympathetic & really takes the time to understand your condition. I wish all doctors were like him! Highly recommended & I look forward to future visits w/ him.
