He takes his time talking and explaining your situation. He is easy to get along with. Like him a lot.
Attentive, detail oriented, conservative approach to necessary treatments as well as being transparent about surgical procedures and their benefits in relation to the specific patient. I saw Dr. Spivak as a second opinion as the prior neurosurgeon was advocating for a spinal surgery that would not have been beneficial given my state. Honesty and integrity are evident. I highly recommend Dr. Spivak as first opinion.
I’ve been seeing Dr Spivak for about 2 years he’s done 2 surgical procedures on my cervical and has been caring for me as my Pain Management physician. He is very caring and takes the time to listen to you I’ve never felt rushed . The nurses are so kind and caring they’ve helped me many times with appointments and prescriptions and just make you feel so comfortable . I would highly recommend Dr Spivak to anyone looking for a caring Pain Management and surgical specialist
Understanding, listens, and one of the best doctors I've ever had!!!
