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.

Wonderful Pediatrician
So good with our kids! Answers questions thoroughly. Not quick to diagnose. Really took his time getting to know our son before diagnosing, which we really appreciated.

Dr Spinelli is an amazing pediatrician. He always took the time to make sure any question I had was answered and understood. He is very thorough, kind and caring, and fantastic with small children. He was recently let go from OCH, and I am disgusted at the facility. They replaced an amazing physician with a joke. My children miss their "cool doctor".

By far the best pediatrician I have ever found for my family. Not happy that he is leaving OCH. :( Explains conditions better than any provider I have ever had for my children. Cares about each patient as an individual. Calls us at home to check on child when there is a more serious illness going on. Kids love going to him. He makes them feel at ease and is comical with all his stories. He literally has a story for everything--which is awesome!! BEST DOC EVER!!

Dr. Spinelli was more worried about his personal time than his patients. We would ask questions and he would always seem bothered on answering them.

We would not recommend Dr. Spinelli to anyone. He is difficult to work with and dismissive. Also, the receptionist did not send email to doctor regarding a question and also does not call to let you know when a prescription is ready to be picked up.
