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.

He operated on me unnecessarily and you won't let others know? He's retired never mind

Had posterior hip replacement with Dr. Spencer 3 years ago and have had nothing but problems. Research your surgeons thoroughly to make an informed choice.

Went in for lower back pain. Dr. Spencer didn't spend enough time with me during the appointment and didn't communicate well with me during the appointment and just wanted to send me out to get a CAT scan of my lower back area without even blinking. A CAT Scan while not considering the amount of radiation that it omits to the reproductive area being a female. Avoid him.

I have been a patient of Dr. C. Spencer III for 15 years. I was employed as a professional nurse. My spine was failing me, and I required the care of a seasoned professional. His level of expertise in the surgical area is excellent. He has guided me through some extremely difficult spinal problems. I am now doing very well. He has always explained everything clearly, & welcomes questions. He utilizes an exceptional RN first assistant in surgery. The teamwork is beyond rapport & to the patient's
