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.

Experience
Dr. Spivack is not my regular cardiologist but saw me as my doctor was unavailable. I got dizzy and fell hurting my head. I have been trying to figure out why I have been having brief episodes of dizziness. He gave me good information and suggestions. I felt very good after seeing him. He is clearly very experienced and knowledgeable.

2nd opinion
He wasn't thorough on explaining any of my concerns. He dismissed my concerns. He rushed the appointment towards the end. His bedside manner wasn't very nice. Was not a great experience at all. Now I'm left to find another doctor for a 2nd opinion I gave him a 1 star because there isn't a button for a 0 star

Couldn’t have gone to a better healthcare
My first visit to this office as a patient was amazing. Before I even got to the office I was met with a woman who was sitting in the lobby by the information board and I was on a knee walker. I became un steady so she walked me to the elevator and saw I was upset. She asked if she could give me a hug and her ear Bud fell out. We searched our clothing and floor to no avail. She took me in the office and helped me check in and found her ear Bud in her shirt. The staff was attentive and professional as well as was the Dr. He addressed his concerns and advised me to go to the ER which I did. I’m scheduled for testing sand I have total confidence he will get to the bottom of my heath issues. I highly recommend this office and trust in their attentive care for us patients

Excellent Experience
I don’t normally do reviews but in the case of Dr Spivack I feel I have to. My experience with him was outstanding and left me feeling that I am truly getting the best care possible. He is professional, considerate, knowledgeable, explains everything very well and genuinely works to ensure that the reasons for care options are understood and any question answered clearly.

Being a Nurse of 35yrs I am extremely judgmental of Dr’s. Dr Spivack rates 110%! The most important thing a Dr. can do is listen and don’t “talk down” to the Patients! He is VERY Respectful and EXTREMELY Knowledgeable!!! OMG!- HE LISTENS!!! Because of his “Down to Earth” Attitude I have chosen to continue services!!! ????????????????
