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.

This guy is the coldest last caring person I have ever had the unfortunate meeting. Anyone could do better, go anyplace else. So cold a person and worse than doctor I have ever experienced . I waited months to meet the quack of the Century.

Very rude and hateful, yes, the doctor. My original neurologist retired and this office was somewhat close to my residence. Dr. Spotnitz began diagnosing and running tests on everything except what I had gone there for. He recommended me to an orthopedic doctor and said I was finished with him. There was no further need for me to see him. I HAVE EPILEPSY! I HAVE BEEN UNDER A NEUROLOGIST’S CARE FOR THE PAST 19 YEARS AND DR SPOTNITZ SAID THERE WAS NO LONGER A NEED FOR ME TO BE SEEN.

Dr. Spotnitz spent a lot of time explaining my condition, his exam was very thorough. Short wait time, staff was very kind. He reviewed my medications and explained each medications indication and side effects.

I have dealt with migraines for years and Dr. Spotnitz was very professional and caring and got to the source of my issues. His staff was very nice and assisted in getting my medications covered, etc.

Our experience was horrid. Not once,not twice, but FOUR times they have changed appointments or canceled without notification.I called yesterday to confirm today's appointment. We drove an hour only to be told we were not on the schedule. They said it was canceled due to lack of mri. There is a brain shunt so that can't even be done. Despite this being their error they refused to rectify their mistake. We said we could wait until everyone else had been seen. Nope. Incredibly unprofessional!!
