Service and treatment were great as is. I don't know of any improvements needed.
I was treated very well, I wanted to explain that I have pain around my head at times and neck. Because my head wasn't mentioned by me .
Everyone i dealt with went the extra to be sure I was attended to
Professionals at work??
Nothing. Dr. Spearman is amazing and really takes time to listen to me to come up with the right treatment plan. The staff are also so nice and professional.
Everything was very professional and warm All doctors offices should be so well run and welcoming.
If a young patient has a support person with them during a visit, there is a reason. Create an atmosphere of inclusion. Provide pertinent (printed or digital) literature to patients to aid in decision-making and for their understanding. "After visit" information would mitigate the avalanche of information provided during the brief visit.
I really have no issues. It was easy to get an appointment. Early check in is easy. Everyone at the office is exceptional. Dr. Spearman is awesome. Gave me a steroid shot (best night sleep in weeks) in my shoulder and listened to my concerns of pins and needles in my arm. He came up with a game plan and gave me options I liked.
Sorry. No suggestions. Everyone was respectful and helpful.
Don't change a thing
