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.

Great doctor who listens
Dr Spirakes treated me with care, and listened to me as I described every part of why I felt bad and was there. She never made me feel rushed or like any part of it was insignificant. Would recommend her 100%, as this is the second time ive seen her and she treated me well on both occasions.

Dr. Spirakes listens well, always makes me feel like she has all the time in the world for me and answers my questions honestly. She tells it like it is (always with care & compassion) and I appreciate that. She asks questions regarding me as a person and not just a patient. I just always feel like she is honestly paying attention to what’s going on with me.

Dr spirakes LISTENS. I told her that something was wrong and she immediately took action to get me set up with tests. She is the best Dr I've ever had in my 66 yrs. I completely trust her with my life. I'm so thankful to have been so fortunate to have her as my primary doctor. She gives each patient as much time as they need without that feeling of rushing you to get to the next patient. We need this kind of compassion and feeling like a person and not a a number.
