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.

Terrible experience! His nurse tech is by far the most rude person I have ever met. Do not trust her! I am surprised that she is allowed to work in a patient environment and be called a "nurse." What a scam!

Horrible experience. After hospital discharge he decided further treatment was required. Without consulting or talking to me directly, in any way, he submitted a treatment plan. I was forced to communicate through his nurse and reception staff, finally opting to seek other medical help.

We started to see Dr. Spera in the hospital. As a medical professional, I was disappointed with his hurry up, I have other people to see statement. Then our IV antibiotics were extended an extra week just because he was out of town. We were denied a partner to see. When severe n/v started.. Told sorry about your luck. Here is some zofran. Expect to wait in an empty office for at least over an hour and half before you see anyone. I thought the first long wait was maybe a fluke... But nope.
