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. Speak was a very great OB Doctor to have. He is a very patient doctor. He has a great personality . His knowledge about pregnant women is out of this world. He was my first doctor here in Kirksville MO. I was very scared, he recently delivered my son and what a great experience with such a great doctor !

He is so good in the moment of delivery-when it counts! My first impression was "eh he's a Dr good enough he'll be fine" but the more I've seen him the more impressed I am, he's very compassionate, and good at what he does!! I've had 3 deliveries 3 different OB's (all good) but he is far and away the best. Even my husband noticed he didn't just show up and catch the baby like other Dr's he was so attentive.
