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.

My Doc
I am one of the lucky ones to have Dr Spivak as my physician. He has provided me with personal care for 34 years. He always makes himself available for not only scheduled care but even when a sudden illness appears. Not just my Dr but also has become a good friend! Highly recommend this professional Dr.
