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.

Very rude doctor!
A doctor’s job is to help you and not question what you feel. This doctor question what I feel and evenyelled at me. She had the nerve to stick her hand out to my face to shut me up when I asked her a question. Shame on you Dr. Elenora Spokony!

An excellent, top notch neurologist
Dr. Eleonora Spokoyny, is not only a highly skilled neurologist but also a compassionate human being. Her commitment to patient care and her patients' well-being is truly commendable. She diagnosed my husband with hydrocephalus, and saved him of a very poor quality of life. A diagnosis that many other doctors had missed. She takes her time, answers all your questions and concerns without rushing you. Her office staff are friendly and helpful, Ari the receptionist answers your questions and tries to accommodate your needs for appointments. “Thank you for all that you do as a doctor. We are thankful for the positive impact you have made through your expertise and compassionate care. You are an exceptional doctor.

I have been a patient of Dr. Spokoyny’s for over 15 years. She has consistently been incredibly helpful to me. She is very caring, listens, thinks outside the box (I have a combination of autoimmune issues) and has helped with my chronic migraine issues. She has also encouraged me to discuss alternative treatment solutions with my other doctors.

I have been a patient of Dr Spokoyny’s for over 4 years for my chronic migraines. She has brought me from having over 15 migraines a month to very few a month. She was so precise in how she wanted to treat me, explaining everything to me in lay terms. I felt completely confident in her expertise. At each appointment, she asks what works and what doesn’t work in the treatment for me. She listens to what I’m saying and how I feel and tries different treatments that would work better for me. I am so thankful for Dr. Spokoyny since she is very personable, truly cares about her patients and has given me a new outlook on life due to reducing my migraines by at least 75%. Her staff is very professional and very easy to work with as well. She is one of the best doctors I have and would highly recommend her.

I regret my time at her office. She was condescending and kept telling me I was late because I arrived 15 minutes before my appointment rather than the 30 mins they recommended to complete paperwork. I finished the paperwork 5 mins before my appointment time but she still kept saying I was late. ?? She then went through my medical record and assumed the medical record was more correct than my recollection of my own health and treatments. I visited another neurologist after my appointment with her that told me I did not have the multiple conditions she diagnosed me with. The dr was concerned by everything I said and asked me, “Do you trust this doctor?” No, I don’t. And I’m not returning.

Dr. Spokoyny has helped fix a years old headache issue. The path she laid out was challenging but it played out just as she said. She is very detailed and through. She is straight forward and very personable. She also did not hesitate to help me find an endocrinologist for a separate heath issue. I really like her.

I like her she's a character and very kind and seems to be proud of being a expert in her field. I really like her. She's unique. I like how she's a detail person. I think she's funny and she doesn't even know it. She's my favorite neurologist Ive ever seen. She's blunt to the point as well.

Worst experience ever with a doctor got my license suspended for fainting behind the wheel based on her reccomondation when that is completely false information and then once I paid her a fee and co payment my “condition” improved and she recommends I can drive again. Highly recommend staying away does not care about helping you

Dr. Spokoyny, while effective on the first few visits, eventually became someone I lost respect for. For a doctor, she is not a good listener, and often talked over me while I was trying to explain my symptoms to her. Once outside the surgery, it is very difficult to communicate with her, suggesting there is some behind-the-scenes disorganization. Overall, while administering treatment, she didn't always target my pain areas correctly, and she seemed less than dedicated to my recovery.

Dr. Spokoyny has been a wonderful caring physician. I have seen 4 doctors for my injury and she seems to care the most and is focused on getting me well quickly. She listens and gives good advice to follow between visits. When she is administering tests, she explains what she is doing, why and what to expect. This eliminates any "painful" surprises. She's a delight and I always come back feeling uplifted after a visit with her. Dr. Spokoyny's staff has been very courteous and helpful.

Having had a stroke at 53 I found Dr Spokoyny to be just what I was after. She knows what needs to be done and she gets it taken care of, gets the answers. Total answers. ASAP. No band aids. She's very attentive, listens and is receptive. Not closed off. Explains things maybe a bit too fast but will slow down to address that. Her office girls Claudia, Mayra and Jamie are willing to help with getting referrals, records prior to visits and quick appointments.

I have had many Dr.'s in the past 15yrs many of whom I did not trust! I was so ecstatic to find Dr. Spokoyny! I have complete trust in her, and she felt more like a caring friend...... Sadly I have moved from California to Florida and I have no idea how I am ever going to replace her, she is irreplaceable! Thank you Dr. Spokoyny for all the caring and understanding you have given me over the years.... I miss you my Dr. & friend :)

I have been a patient of Dr. Spokoyny's for some time due to a serious condition which involves integration with other health care providers. She and her staff have insured continuity while providing excellent personal care. I could not recommend her more highly. She is very knowledgable and takes time to work with and understand her patients. She informs you of the diagnosis and course of treatment and clearly explains the goals to be achieved.
