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.

Vasectomy
My husband had a vasectomy in 2021 from this doctor. While he was friendly and the procedure went well-2 negative sperm samples afterwards, his recovery was awful. We didn’t realize how bad it was until 2 months after he still had to wear his jock strap and was still unable to go to the gym-which he was doing daily. No infections or anything just an awful time recovering. My husband is not the type to milk anything and we understand that complications happen, but 2 of our friends had the same procedure done by other doctors and one was out shoveling snow the next day. We steer everyone we know away from him.

My husband had a vasectomy with Dr. Spirnak. The Dr. had stitched his testicle after the procedure and it appeared he stitched him up incorrectly because his one testicle was a lot higher up than the other. After a week he had to see the Dr. again because that specific stitch became infected. Finally it healed but my husband has been in pain for months. He went back to see the Dr. again for the pain to which the Dr. told him it's just a flare up despite my husband telling him he has been in pain for MONTHS! NO flare up lasts months. He has done nothing to figure this out and he charged us over $90 to tell us nothing.
