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.

Maybe he had a bad day, but...
I saw Dr. Spiro twice several years apart. The first time he was kind, thorough, explained everything well - a very good visit. The second time was totally different - maybe he was just having a bad day, but he was short with me to the point of being rude. Fortunately I did not need a follow up visit for my condition because I was so uncomfortable I would not have gone back. I am giving three stars instead of one or two only because he is extremely knowledgeable and it was only one of the two visits with him that was completely off-putting.
