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.

Dr. Speir, is excellent and saved my life with a triple Bypass in August 1999. In my opinion there is none better in what he does. Very concerned with his patients, and puts you at ease with his professional and calm attitude. Just found out I have an Aneurism of my Aorta in my chest measuring 4.5 , although at 83 I do not like the thought of open heart surgery again, I am at least thinking about seeing him and getting his advice on " the way ahead".

Dr. Speir performed my valve replacement surgery in May 2018. He is an outstanding surgeon, but you will probably never see him again following surgery and his pain management during and post hospital discharge is unacceptable. If you are okay with tramadol and Tylenol 4- days post op and upon discharge, then you may be fine. I had minimally invasive open heart surgery with half of my sternum sawed open.
