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.

Outstanding doctor. I highly recommend
Dr. Spangler and the entire team were fantastic. From the receptionist, the entire prep team, anesthesiologist, and anyone else I may have left out, thank you. Thank you for making the colonoscopy procedure a little less frightening. I, without a doubt, would and will recommend Dr. Spangler.

Excellent experience
Dr Spangler is warm, friendly and shows a definite interest in his patients. Professional description of the procedure before my colonoscopy as well as an easy to understand explanation of findings and follow up. Great staff. Efficient from quick check-in, to preparation for the in-office procedure, to treatment during recovery. The nurses are wonderful.

Awesome Doctor
Can’t say enough about Dr.Spangler recently had a issue with my gallbladder that required 2 ERCP procedures due to gallstones. The CNP James Ferguson visited me several times in the hospital and thoroughly explained what was wrong and what the procedure would involve. Had a colonoscopy and endoscopy today at the Lake Barrington facility Ashley and Nikki were very helpful along with everyone at the office. Everyone took the time to explain what to expect about procedure and best of all was “ON TIME!”. Would highly recommend Dr.Spangler

Highly Recommended Gastroenterology Doctor
Dr. Spangler has been my gastroenterology doc for a number of years at this point and I highly recommend him and his practice. He's successfully treated me for acid reflux, and has performed several colonoscopies (the most recent on 9/1/22). He is thoughtful and does a nice job listening and understanding a patient's questions and concerns.

I had a colonoscopy this morning and I was impressed immediately by the cleanliness, efficiency, and high quality of the surgical clinic and surgical staff. Dr. Spangler is outstanding. He was friendly, sincere, attentive and professional as was his staff. I had not met Dr. Spangler until the procedure but he knew every detail concerning my history. I highly recommend not only the clinic but personally Dr. Spangler. A great big thank you for the great care!

The appointment was well planned out after calling for an appointment. The forms that needed to be filled out was mailed to me with plenty of time to fill out to bring with me. They required a COVID test per state mandate, but offer drive up service for that. If you've not been here before, this serves as a opportunity to see the building for your appointment. The day of appointment, arrived early, they were ready for me. Called me back shortly after arriving. I was prepared for my procedure within 10 minutes after that. Met with the doctor and shortly after went to sleep. Woke up with no issues after the procedure. Got dressed and was explained the results d. This went great!
