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.

He prescribed 3 anti-depressants to my husband at one time. Anti-depressants can make you more depressed which is exactly what happened to my husband. All the symptoms he had were directly related to these medications as side effects. Dr. Spisak would tell us anything to get us out of his office. This led to disastrous results, therefore, I strongly would not recommend this doctor.

Absolutely and I have done so already. He takes the time to listen to you and you never feel rushed. He is also very honest with you even if sometimes you may not want to hear it, he is always concerned about your health first, bottom line.

Dr. Spisak is a outstanding GP. He cares and it shows he always takes the time to explain in detail and layman’s terms what is going on. He does not rush the visit in order to get to the patient.

Dr. Spisak is the best personal physician I have ever had, which is saying something since I am almost 60 years old. He is personable, funny and most importantly, he genuinely cares about each patient. Moreover, he is very, very good at what he does. I would recommend him, and have, to my own family members. He is five star all the way!

After meeting with Dr. Spisak l felt very comfortable talking with him and was confident that l finally found a new doctor as my last one moved his practice to a location that was too far away and the clinic l have been using just didn't serve my needs.

I have been a patient of Dr Spisak’s for 5 years, and I am very happy with him, and also his staff! He always listens, and is thoughtful with how he handles whatever I am dealing with. This time it’s been ongoing allergies, but it’s also been autoimmune disease. I highly recommend him and his nurses and staff who are very professional!

Dr. Spizak has always been kind and attentive to me...and after reading some other reviews...I wanted to share my experience....Yes, there have been times where he has obviously been stretched thin, but... everyone gets busy or has stressful days..And as a patient, I have never felt neglected during those busy times. I have been seeing Dr. Spizak for years and those times have been very RARE. It is important to note: I do, and always have, struggled with anxiety, depression and lack of confidence...which makes it hard for me to be honest, especially on difficult or uncomfortable topics. I am grateful to have a P.C.P. that I can speak freely with and one who I know will provide me with honest input and expertise.
