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.

Just Wrong
1st visit he has a student interview me, he doesn’t announce who he is, 10 minutes in the so called quack comes in and introduces himself as Dr. To much jocularity going on for me to keep my mind with pain I’m in. Didn’t do crap for me. Went for CT scan & he couldn’t even get back to me! No one received my scan report which was a lie, had go to my chart on line to find out, I called them out on it & yet they LIED again saying they didn’t get it. I know they did cause I spent lots of time on phone getting cut off, hung up on just to find out & yet they lied again when I called. Wanted more money for me doing their job. run people run!

My experience with Dr. Spandorfer has been very good. I have been quite ill on 2 occasions and he brought me through both times. I do find some of the office staff to be lacking in efficiency. On several occasions I have had difficulty getting a call back and had to have my GP call. But I do find Dr. Spandorfer to be caring and professional.

Didn’t feel comfortable on the first visit and the second visit confirmed that feeling. There are some things that you just don’t say to patients, “ I don’t think it’s lung cancer” and knock on the wood table. Very inappropriate. Front office staff leaves you wondering too.

My first visit was interrupted 2x by cell phone calls, once by another colleague and 2nd by his son. Very inappropriate and awkward. Tried to reschedule a procedure through his office and his nurse Rhonda would never call me back after 4 weeks of calls. After I called and got the procedure rescheduled it took them over 2 months to let me know the results and that was after me calling the office to inquire. I didn't know I had to chase down the office to find out my results. Never returning.
