As always an amazing doctor
Oct-2024
My son S. Jackson had a hip scope by Dr. Spence. The surgery went super well. His staff even called during me during the surgery to calm my nerves. After the surgery he talked to me and answered the million questions I had without an attitude and with so much professionalism. I was a nervous wreck before the service but his amazing staff as well calmed me. My son post-op has been amazing as well. He is healing well, becoming more flexible, and looking forward to getting back to sports.
I would recommend Dr. Spence to anyone with confidence! We appreciate Dr. Spence and his team!!!!

Dr. Spence is a skilled doctor in mechanics and has a great rapport with our daughter and us as parents. Our daughter recently had surgery to reconstruct/release ligaments at her knee. He explains every step thoroughly and in detail. He communicates with us and does not talk over our heads, so we are comfortable and understand exactly what to expect prior to surgery, post surgery & during rehab. His staff is excellent and immediately responsive to any question that has arisen pre and post surgery.
