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.

Great experience!
The doctor was pleasant and thorough. He answered all questions and listened to me.

Same Day Appt
Called about a bit of silicone earpiece that had been n my ear for too long, it wasn't bothersome but needed to be addressed. Dr. Spiess' office got me in the same day (within an hour) and he extracted the object without issue. He's a very pleasant physician and the practice is very efficient and friendly.

Dr. Spiess listened to all my symptoms before conducting his exam. After the exam he answered all the questions that I had. I am waiting for any additional information or conclusions until after the bloodwork has been analyzed.

Rushy and dismissive
I have had multiple appointments and every appointment is extremely rushed (multiple have been under 5 minutes!). I never get to explain my symptoms fully. Dr does not say much and does not provide explanations. I am always left feeling in the dark about my condition and next steps. My concerns and issues feel like they are being dismissed and minimized.On top of feeling rushed and dismissed, each appointment has led to a completely different 'diagnosis' of what's causing my issues. When I ask a follow-up question about a diagnosis that was mentioned in my prior appointment to get clarification, my question is shrugged off as if I pulled that information out of thin air. This has led to more confusion on my part and more feeling in the dark.The nurses' line has more than not been full and they are unable to receive new voicemails. Out of the times I have been able to leave a voicemail, I have only gotten a call back once. Other voicemails were never returned.
