Dr. Spalding is professional, compassionate, knowledgeable, and a true patient's doctor. She listens intently and solved many of my problems.There will be a huge void in her leaving, a true physician who cares for her patients. I am 80 years old and Dr. Spalding is the BEST physician I have ever had, there was no escorting me or my husband out the door because of the clock. Her knowledge, caring, and experience is a blessing.

I love Dr. Spalding, she's so attentive, compassionate, and knowledgeable and professional! She always makes me feel heard and cared for. She provided me with answers all the time and looks for the answers if she doesn't know them right away. She provided me with information, references, and goes above and beyond caring for my health.

Dr. Spalding is a very sweet and compassionate doctor that I feel listens to what I have to say. I feel like she genuinely cares about my health and wellness which is a breath of fresh air seeing as many drs dont spend more than 2 minutes with you. Her nurse, Dixie is also very sweet and helpful. I will continue to see Dr. Spalding as long as she is local.

Dr. Spalding and her nurse Dixie are both wonderful! The wait time after getting back into the room is almost non existent. Dr. Spalding listed to all of my concerns and I never felt like I was being rushed so she could move on to her next patient.

I took my dad to his appointment with Dr. Spalding and my whole family ended up switching to her including myself! Dr. Spalding listens to me in detail, explains the whys and hows. The other doctors I had in past were always in hurry to leave the room so they could see another patients. I give my highest recommendation if anyone wants to see Dr. Spalding. She is AMAZING!!! Her assistant Ms. Dixie is always very kind and supportive. She is a great assistant.

I am a new patient to Dr. Spalding but not to Dignity Health. I am so pleased with the care I've received from Dr. Spalding. She's personable, caring, and thorough. I find it so easy to communicate with her during my visits and I feel free to ask questions which is something I haven't always experienced with prior doctors. I plan to be Dr. Spalding's patient for as long as she's practicing medicine!
