I hope Dr. Spalding and the physicians there realize that they are dealing with patients and their life and death is in their hands. It is absolutely disgusting how they behave and lack of empathy and care they provide their patients. All they care about is billing. No explanation of what is going on and God forbid you ask basic questions then you are labelled as a 'difficult' patient. No communication, coordination or concern. Listen to the patient and provide hands on care !

She is the best doctor I have ever had. She made my pregnancy amazing and without her I don't think I would be able to do it the same. My delivery went great thanks to this amazing doctor. Highly highly recommended. She makes you feel comfortable and truly takes her time with you. Answers whatever you need and is always there for you. Simply the best. Extremely professional and brilliant!!!

I recently had a very difficult pregnancy that ended in the death of my child born at only 21 weeks. Dr. Spalding was my doctor and was on the doctor on call when I went into ore-term labor at 6 pm. Not only did she not bother to come to the hospital that night, she didn’t come the next day either after my son was born at 3 am. Also, she didn’t call me to check in on my health or to see how I was doing emotionally. I did not hear from her until 4 days later when I called her. No compassion!

Dr. Spalding is great,I would give her a 5* for her attentiveness and calm manner,but her office is beyond any acceptable norms and practices. it always takes 1-2 hours there to be seen and while you are waiting - nurse is checking out her facebook right in front of you; you can never reach them by phone, no matter what extension you try - you have to be lucky to get to the live person - and this is during business hours. I wonder how that works out if you are having an emergency. Horrible!

HOLLYWOOD – Apr 02, 2017

I have been a patient of this office for many years and now I'm told that the policy has changed and refills can no longer be called into the pharmacy (even though I have been experiencing the same ongoing issue). Not to mention that once you arrive to the office, there will be an EXTENDED wait time. This is very unfortunate and an inconvenience. I guess I will have to find another office that caters to their patient's needs and not their pocket, but also respects their patient's time.

The fact that Dr. Spalding treats you as a human being and actually speaks, listens, and makes you feel comfortable is so refreshing. I have been going to a gynecologist for the past 30 years and she has been the ONLY one who had made me feel at ease and listens. She actually spends time with her patients and doesn't treat them like a number at a deli but as a human being. I recommend her to every woman I meet.

Last time I went, I had to wait 2 hours just to see the doctor for not even 5 minutes. If I wasn't so late in my pregnancy, I'd go find another office.
