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.

I felt he was so focused on treating cancer he overlooked some other issues that were more pressing which ultimately resulted in death. He’s great with cancer, but sometimes other things should take precedence.

Exceptional Doctor
Dr Spigel is rare in that he looks upon his patients as people first, secondly as a patient. In my first visit he just wanted to know about me, my interests, my life, my family. He made me aware that he really wanted to know me as a person and cared about me. He answered all my questions and took time to explain some technical concepts to make sure I understood them. His medical knowledge is vast and he has my complete trust.

Knowledge and Compassion
Dr. Spigel has all the credentials and academic standing that you want in your oncologist. More important to me is the compassion he has for me, his patient, and his optimism on my being able to live a quality life.

He has no concern for his patients time. Everytime I go there the wait time is always 2 or more hrs. After complaining and asking who was his boss I was told he didn't have a boss. Sometimes he's not even there and patients are waiting for hours. Someone really needs to look into this.
