"The person that was handling for Doctor was truly the kindest person. My bp was 120/80 which is phenomenal for a visit to any doctor's office for me. I believe it had a lot to do with the handler. Normally bp 140/90 at the doctor's office."

"Getting your health checked can often be a stressful experience in life, but their office helped make my visits a pleasant one. I can’t say I went to the office in high spirits at first because I was dealing with unpleasant health. The office works were kind and explained everything. The doctor was well educated and talked to me on the terms that I needed to understand. I was prescribed an operation and not one that most people would ever want to do. I knew that the doctor had my best interests in mind and cared about my health first. If I would not have made these appointments I would be in far worse health."

"Dr. Spanier was very helpful, considerate, and thorough as she interacted with my mother in her follow-up appointment. My mother felt comfortable and Dr. Spanier explained things clearly so she can understand her situation. We were given ample time to ask questions. My mother also felt the same with her nurse who saw her first. As we were leaving, my mother commented “I really like Dr. Spanier”. This was a relief since Dr. Spanier is my mothers’ new doctor since her previous doctor of many years has retired. Thank you to the entire staff (front desk included) for taking excellent care of my mother."
