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.

Spleen and gallbladder
Dr. Spencer is a wonderful surgeon I was having a lot of problems for year's with my stomach. I went to him and he told me it was probably my gallbladder and he was right then he said there was stuff going on with my spleen too so he removed both and I haven't had a problem since then.

I was recommended to him since I already had a botched hernia surgery. I feel he did a professionally good job. Very easy to talk to, explains everything that’s happening. I definitely would recommend him to anybody

Dr. Richardson saved my life. The emergency room kept sending me home for 2 days. When Dr. Richardson was called to come look at my scan ( which was done the previous day and not looked at) he immediately called for me to come back. After 4 hours in surgery he removed my gallbladder, part of my colon and cleaned by body of infection. I was on life support for 48 hours and in ICU for 3 weeks. Dr. Richardson came every day. Has great bedside manner and is totally transparent. He has compassion and is brilliant. Thanks Doc, my family will be forever grateful to you. So glad you chose to be a surgeon.
