I scheduled an appointment to see Dr. Spencer but was seen by his PA, without being informed ahead of time. While she was polite, there was no evaluation of my knee before the injection, even though it was swollen and may have required fluid to be withdrawn first. The front desk staff were fine, but the clinical staff were not very welcoming and at times spoke about me in the third person. Overall, the visit felt rushed and impersonal, and I did not feel I received thorough care. I likely will not return.
He’s very nice
Always very professional.
Dr. Smith was very open and honest with me. Very professional which allowed me to weigh my options and.come up with the best procedure for a better quality of life. I would not hesitate to recommend him
