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.

I was referred to Dr Spellman by my pain mgt dr in my town. I am soo glad. An amazing surgeon with latest robotic equipment for a total hip replacement in which I was mobile without help in 6 days.

Dr. Spellman and his staff are absolutely above par. He is the most thorough of any doctor I have ever dealt with. I hands down had absolutely faith and confidence in everything he explained and performed.

Dr. Spellman repaired my rotator cuff, and shaved spurs off my clavicle in 2015. I had heard horror stories of people having this surgery, but my experience was amazing! Successful surgery would be an understatement! My shoulder feels better than when I was 20 years old. I can do everything I could before, but better. Throwing, lifting, etc! Highly recommend Dr. Spellman for shoulder surgery.

Dr John Spellman is the only one who took my situation seriously. Almost all the other doctors i seen just assumed I was lying about my pain for pills or they assumed I'm to young to know real pain... I actually started believing there was nothing wrong and It was normal to suffer. Finally I got an appointment with Dr Spellman and he called for xrays and ct scans.. I needed surgery. Dr Spellman saved me from a life of pain and misery just by listening to me. Best dam Dr I ever met. Ty Spellman
