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.

Worth the Wait!!
Yes, you will wait to see Dr. Spielman, but if you are looking for a spine doc who is excellent, explains everything, provides choices and is not in a hurry to cut, this is your guy. He's friendly and professional, knows his stuff and tells it like it is. I'll trade an extra hour for excellence.

Dr. Spielman is an excellent diagnostician. He is compassionate, explains procedures in detail and gives his patients ample time and answers all questions. He gave me full attention and showed me exactly my problem and tailored a treatment plan that we discussed together that would be the best option for me.

Dr. Spielman started out with spinal surgery and found so much more that it went from 3 hrs to 5 hrs. Other surgeons may not have gone as far as he did. My stenosis pain is gone and I can't say enough about his competence, demeanor and ability to bond with patients. He is a true super star. God bless you, Doc.

i would recommend DR. Spielman very highly. He is aces!! Took care of my problem with my back. never pushed me out of the office. He took his time. I recommend Dr.Spieman to two other people I know and if it wasn't for this one person I know he said he saved him from getting the wrong treatment.

Doctor did not really consider my opinion. Did not really listen to me. Doctor spent less than 5 min. examining me. It was very rushed and superficial compared to other exams I have had. Doctor was quick to send me off to previous doctor and MRI's for other condition. Spent most of visit dictating his notes which should have been done after my exam. Worst experience with a doctor ever.

I just had surgery last Thursday the 21 st for a cervical decompression c5 c6 fusion. I just have to say that with Dr. Spielman's experience in this procedure he did an excellent job. I no longer have pain and minimum scaring and healing very quickly. I 100% will recommend Dr. Joel Spielman to anyone including my family. I could not have been in any better hands. Very thankful. After I recover I know now with no more pain I can finally live and function with no more fibro. Thank you Dr. Spielman
