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.

Everything went better than expected. On time appointment, curtesy, professionalism and friendliness. I appreciated Dr. Spruiell’s guidance and help with my issue. His PA, Curt Murray was also wonderful. The both seemed to genuinely care about my issue and wanted to try and help!

My appt was at 8, saw him at 9:15. He was indifferent. Nothing bad, nothing great. Spent very little time with me, maybe 8-10 mins. I m pretty sure he didn't read history of present illness. Made me feel like I wasted his time. It's a big deal for me to see any MD bc the fee is so high. Pain or no pain, won't go back.

He was very nice and gave me recommendations as if i was his family member. I appreciated his opinion and that he just wasn’t automatically wanting to go to surgery as a first option.

Most Professional and compassionate Doctor ever!
I finally found a Doctor that found what was causing my back pain. Dr. Spruiell was immediately on top of getting me back on my feet. The Doctors medical team and the office personnel were exceptionally kind and polite. They treated me like family. By far the best bed side manners I have ever experienced. Thank you so much!

I was having a lot of pain in my lower back from surgery some years ago and it was affecting my left leg. I had my follow up appointment today and everything is better. I left with instructions to call them if I needed them and was released.
