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. Speidel is super doctor/specialist in his field! Rockstart!K Why? I had a stent put in about a year ago and I watched on the monitor as he figured out my heart's artery rewiring and put the stent in the right place (I had a 6-way bypass in 2012). No doubt he saved my life and my heart muscle that day. Funny, but not at the time, during the surgery, he had to tell me to be quiet since I was talking too much, "I am trying to figure out your rewired heart hold on a minute will you". Honestly, I work at a BJC hospital too and know a veteran RN that had worked with Dr. Speidel during surgeries, etc. He told me that Dr. Speidel is: "the best he had ever worked with, does not miss anything". The same nurse told me that he would trust Dr. Speidel with his life. That's a pretty big endorsement don't you think? Thumbs up and thank you, Dr. Speidel!

Dr. Speidel is one of those rare doctors who gives his patient a feeling of relief and calm after talking with him. The office staff are understanding and helpful, even when you call and are upset and emotional. From our first visit we have felt that our medical care was in good hands and that Dr. Speidel and his staff care and will do what is needed.
