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.

You're not going to find a more qualified, knowledgeable, experienced, talented, expert in his field SPINAL SURGEON then Dr Spencer. I was referred to him by three different doctors which pretty much tells you all you really need to know about him his reputation and what his credentials are. Not only that he operated on the wife of one of them so that in itself tells you just how good he really is. In keep in mind he's not operating on an ingrown toenail so you want someone who's at the top of their field and well experienced. I've been a patient of his for nearly 15 years and now my daughter is. He and his staff have ALWAYS GONE ABOVE AND BEYOND and could not be more kind, empathetic, accommodating, caring, compassionate, generous and helpful!! I've gotta say I'm his biggest fan!! Don't be put off if he seems like he's chop, chop (no pun intended). He's a very busy man but will always make time for you.

Spent 2 minutes with me. He was quick to prescribe pain medication without establishing a long term treatment plan. Clearly, I will not be seeing Dr. Spencer again and would not I recommend him.

I have been going to Doc Spencer since 1991 in which I have had 6 surgeries on the lower back, and he is definitely one of the best bar none. Always willing to answer any questions you might have with not only the patient but with the family as well.

Dr Spencer is AMAZING! He not only cares for the patient but her cares for the patient's family. He was thorough and professional but very down to earth. You left the office truly understanding your condition and what procedures were going to entail. He personally returns phone calls! In this day and age he still is the persona of the kind family doctor you USED to hear about. We would recommend him to everyone we meet. God bless you Dr. Spencer.
