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.

Dismissive
Went to see him at patient first and he was super rude and dismissive when my partner and i would ask questions, he would just say “i don’t know ask your regular doctor” and he would have a super rude tone. Wasn’t very gentle at all and just seemed like he didn’t wanna be here.

Dr. Spinks is pleasant but disorganized. Another pain Dr was wonderful and I barely used pain meds. Spinks was not the same. In 2.5 months I was only given trigger point injections and tons of pain meds. My recs were not obtained and didn’t listen when I told him I needed blocks. Finally scheduled and they cancel twice, then push out 2 weeks again. Staff is rude, not empathetic, unprofessional, discuss other patients openly and make fun of them, can only leave a voicemail and never return calls

Getting an appointment was very easy. However, they will charge you over $300 for a drug test. Be sure and check with your insurance company first - it is not a covered test.

He is under the guise of a,pain management specialists. He thinks of himself before the patient, very cocky and not at ALL concerned about how his decisions effect the patients quality of life. He is unethical and more concerned about the green in his pockets than his patients. The war on drugs biggest casualty are chronic patients. Are there drug seekers, Absolutely!!!! However it is NOT all of us! I was told something different every appt, no consistency at all! It is poorly run! RUn from him!
