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.

25 year survivor
I’m 25 years out from getting a j pouch . Dr. Spencer was my surgeon. He operated on me with my second round of colon rectal cancer in 1999. I’m alive and healthy in Hawaii. Thank you, Dr. Spencer!

Do Your Research - Terrible Surrounding Cast
Nothing worse then an arrogant doctor who doesn't feel the need to go over your concerns. Not only is the doctor too arrogant to answer your questions, his medical staff and there office are inept, don't value your time and have poor to very poor communication. Do your research before you a book an appointment with Dr. Spencer. Old Reviews, New Reviews, check them all. What may have been good a few years ago, is not the case today. Think twice before signing off on Dr Spencer doing your procedure, all the risk is on your end. The only thing worse then Dr Spencer is his medical team around him, i guarantee you they couldn't care less about your concerns, opinions or what you value. Best of Luck!

He's the BEST!
I have visited Dr. Spencer a couple of times now. He listens to me about my issues and asks pertinent questions. He tells me what he expects to find and has been right on. He resolves my issues confidently, and I am always happy with the results. He is a genuinely nice guy who listens and talks to the patient.

Dr Spencer is AWESOME! Not only does he listen, but is concerned with your well being. The procedure from the moment I met him until the day I was discharged was flawless! I highly recommend Dr Spencer to anyone without any hesitations.
