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.

Dismissive, irresponsible.
It’s not worth drilling a hole in your head!”My mother saw Dr. Spiegelabout fluid in her brain that was the suspected cause of imbalance, shuffling, falls, and cognitive issues. The treatment for that is a shunt that drains the fluid. If you do it early you have a good chance to regain function. After giving my mother a very basic verbal memory test I tried to explain those were not the things she was having issues with.Dr. Spiegel asked her how she felt. Terrified of shunt surgery and scared to admit what was happening to her, she said she was “OK.” To which Dr. Spiegel said “well it’s not worth drilling a hole in your head then.”And that was it. That solidified her fear and convinced her nothing more than normal aging was happening.Now, two years later, the woman who was an athlete & coach & daily gym rat until 75 yrs old can barely remember things or lift her feet and had a life-threatening fall. At this point it’s likely brain damage is permanent.

Awful awful awful
Dr. Spiegal is one of the worst doctors I’ve ever seen. I went in because my leg would randomly seize up. During the initial visit he mentioned the possibility of MS but wanted to do nerve testing first. Those results came back normal so he told me to just take magnesium. I brought up the fact that he previously mentioned MS, he blew it off and said that’s not it. I told him that I wanted an MRI anyways, he replied “fine, when I prove nothing is wrong the symptoms will go away”. Low and behold the MRI proved MS, when I asked how many lesions I have he said “the notes say multiple”, he didn’t even look at the scan himself. He also never apologized or mentioned his previous rude comments. Needless to say I found someone else, they actually looked at my scans and answered all questions I had. Best decision I’ve made! Beware of Spiegal

Amazing doctor and caring staff
My husband and I are both recent patients. We found that the staff is very friendly, accommodating, professional, and caring. (So many reviews say office staff are rude. NOT the case here.) As for Dr. Spiegel, he should get an award. Not only did he answer every question we had, but he surprised us by asking some questions other doctors hadn't. I also spoke to several patients in the waiting area who rave about Dr. Spiegel. One woman's husband is being treated for Alzheimers disease. She can't say enough good things about the doctor. So based on our personal experience, and the raves from other patients, you would be in good hands if you came here. BTW, Dr. Spiegel will not rush to give you unnecessary treatments just to get paid more. He is one of a kind and we're grateful we found him.

Without compromising my HIPP rights I strongly recommend Dr. Spiegel hyperbolic treatments. The Dr. is frank and direct about his assessment of your condition. I can assure you the Dr. will not pressure or "sell" the treatment. In my case he made it perfectlyclear there is no guarantee improvement will be immediate. The chamber treatment is designed to "ignite" the regenerative process that will hopefully be gradual and progressive even after the treatment plan is complete. The Dr.'s office and technical support staff are in a word "outstanding". Individual time and attention is given to all aspects of the process; scheduling, arrival processing and administrative tasks are preformed in a professional fashion. You will be treatedwith respect, a smile and good humor; bring your own! To your good health, Mark Waldbart 813.399.4960

I have been a physician in Pinellas County since 1987 and Dr. Spiegel has been a professional colleague throughout that time. He is a special breed...innovative but not "out there"....compassionate...deeply committed to serving his patients...accessible....and unencumbered by the constraints of working inside a massive health care system that controls his every decision. He is my go-to referral for all things neurologic. Keep up the good work my friend!

When I was having challenges healing from cancer surgery, Dr. Spiegel offered comprehensive care and hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Dr. Spiegel takes time to listen to the patient and has the experience and services to provide traditional and alternative medicine. I have heard from Dr. Spiegel’s patients that he is the first doctor to listen and discuss options.

I am so lucky to have found a provider as incredible as Dr. Spiegel. His office staff always greet me by name and make me feel special. Dr. Spiegel takes the time to listen to my concerns and work out the best plan of care. I have also completed a course of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy which has been such a life changing experience for me. I am able to be pain free and get off medications. I could not ask for a more supportive office. I will always recommend this office!

Dr. Spiegel is trully the best!! I have had such a great experience with Dr. Spiegel’s office. I am so happy to have found a medical office that truly cares about me. Dr. Spiegel is a great doctor and has amazing people working for him. I go to his in office Physical therapists who are truly incredible. Other doctors said I would never be able to stand alone. Now I’m doing stuff that I would not have even dreamt of. I can transfer so much better now. Every time I go to PT, I feel like I’ve been at the gym. I get such a good workout in. shout out to Kanids who is not only a physical therapist but a personal trainer. I will continue to come to this office, I am so happy.

We have had the best experience with Dr. Allan Spiegel’s office and his staff while doing Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. It’s a tremendously worthwhile endeavor and I have benefited from it so far and know I will continue to see results for my Peripheral Neuropathy and balance issues. Staff is tremendous. Lauren the office manager was the one who got us to really pick this location. Additionally, Dr. Spiegel got right on the phone with us to discuss my medical condition and we put our total trust in him to see that I get better. We traveled all the way from North Carolina, 600 miles to treat with their facility. Phil the Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy nurse was incredible and the PT staff worked with me in so many ways. Every signe person on the staff was wonderful, they were there cheerleader we needed to get my health back! Thank you for everything.

Dr. Spiegel gave me my life back! I will be eternally grateful for my experience with Dr. Spiegel and using Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy to treat my CRPS also known as RSD. This treatment has given me my life back. I have been suffering greatly for 10 years. I have seen so many doctors who didn’t help at all. Dr. Spiegel treats me with compassion and constructed treatment plans that truly worked. In total I received 30 HBOT sessions. I had such a relief of symptoms I can now do things that make me happy instead of being consumed with my symptoms. My pain levels have reduced, swelling and discoloration are come back to normal, reduction in spasms, wounds and cellulitis all have been accomplished, something I could never have imagined before I started this treatment process. The staff is so knowledgeable and caring and I always felt taken care of. Its nice to be in an office where staff and doctor care about your success and celebrate your health milestones. Thank you Dr. Spiegel for giving
