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. Spencer is the most knowledgable & kind man
I have never had a doctor be so compassionate, helpful, and thorough in trying to keep me healthy and comfortable. Dr. Spencer is the kindest most helpful doctor any patient could hope for. I was in great pain and despair when I started seeing Dr. Spencer. Twenty years later, I am stable and strong because of his diligence with my care. He has changed my medications to meet my many challenges over the years. His knowledge of how to help me stay ahead of the debilitating side effects of rheumatoid arthritis has proven to provide me with a happy active lifestyle. Dr. Spencer should write a book on bedside manner as he is the absolute most thoughtful and caring doctor.
