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.

Top Quality Surgeon
I needed parotid surgery and was prepared to drive to wherever the "experts" were, but I have Avera insurance and had to stay in network. As it turned out, Dr. Spanos is exactly the expert I needed, and he's right here in Sioux Falls, SD. He's highly competent, skilled, and experienced and performed my surgery without any difficulty. He's kind and personable and gives you time to ask questions, which he patiently answers. He's done a lot of head/neck surgery and cancer research, and I'm just so impressed with his skill and devotion to his work. He definitely has my trust and respect, and I highly recommend him.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Spanos?
This Doctor and his team has saved my life on two occasions. Dr Spanos is very thorough and a perfectionist. He investigates everything. He has done surgery for cancer on me a few times. I had 4th stage in 2015 and had a new cancer in December 2019. Thank goodness I flew up from Florida to get a consult and he has since removed the cancer. He’s a wonderful surgeon and everyone is just fantastic. World class medicine at its absolute best.
