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.

Caring and kind doctor
I felt compelled to write this review even though it’s been since 2015 that Dr Spinnickie fixed by broken femur because I’m stunned that anyone would give him anything other than a five star review. This doctor is kind, caring, answers every question and explains everything. I met him in a very low point of my life when I was in extreme pain and thunderstruck by what happened to me. I was in the emergency room and didn’t get to pick my surgeon. I could not be more thankful that I had the luck of the drawer to get Dr. Spinnickie. I will be forever grateful to him for taking care of me in one of my darkest hours. Beyond the fact that he was so kind and caring, he did a technically great job on my femur repair. I highly recommend him. I am from a family of physicians, and I feel very well qualified to make a recommendation. I know a good doctor when I see one. Thank you, Dr. Spinnickie!

Due to two bad breaks in wrist/arm and being an emergency situation, choosing a surgeon was not an option. Grateful Dr. Spinnickie was my surgeon. From the beginning, 2 surgeries, 2 hospital stays, numerous follow up appointments, Dr. Spinnickie and Team responded timely & professionally regarding disability, health insurance, and letters to employer and our never-ending questions. I am able to do everything I used to do, including my job! Forever grateful and blessed.

Excellent professional doctor who was supportive before and after my hip surgery. He warmly answers all questions and I have never felt rushed in his office. I will be going soon for my one year anniversary of my hip surgery and am completely pleased and walking fine!

First met Dr. S when he repaired my wife's ankle at hospital requiring two pins. My wife was very apprehensive and never had general anesthesia, and was a nurse. She also had ALS and had terrible a series of awful, non -sensitive physicians. Dr. S was the oasis in the middle of the dessert of the medical industry. Caring, reassuring, non-rushing and very professional are only a few adjectives I would give him. I am now having a total hip with him this Oct. and refer all family to him.

This is about the office. I have a sister who is severely mentally retarded and has always seen DR Spinnickie. She recently broke her Fibia and the office REFUSED to make the appointment , insisting that she see another doctor in the practice that NEVER TREATED HER. That doctor was on call the day she broke the bone, but NEVER SAW HER. My sister is a very hard patient and knows dr SPinnickie. I begged and pleased with the office staff, asked to talk to the doctor, and they HUNG UP on me.
