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.

Dr. Spears always provides excellent care. Excellent surgeon that's truly cares about his patients.

Highly Recommend
Dr Spears explained my options clearly and honestly and listened to my thoughts and concerns. He is not a Dr that just wants to operate right away as we considered all options before deciding what steps to take to correct my situation.

Honestly awesome
Dr.Spears and crew made my wrist evaluation and surgery so easy. I was really worried going in, but I had zero issues. I'm 7 weeks out of surgery and feel great! Everybody I dealt with was polite and friendly. Dr. spears is a cool dude. If you have any wrist or hand problems, give him a call.

Hand pin
Didn’t have a long lobby wait time and Dr. Spears came in the examining room shortly afterwards. He examined my hand and clearly explained next steps. Liked his efficiency and calm manner.

Higly competent physician
Dr Spears is very good at explaining hand anatomy and he obviously knows how to treat disorders of the hand. He is highly competent and I certainly recommend him to anyone experiencing any hand disorders. He is also a friendly person.

Best Surgeon I've had!
Very informative about my options, which were two. Then very honest about what would happen if I didn't have the surgery. Honest, upfront and I didn't have to wait long to have the procedure. When it came time for the procedure, I was in and out of surgery with no complications. I wasn't even in any pain. I couldn't have asked for a better surgeon!
