Dr. Ralph Spada, MD

Always on time, listens, makes recommendations always including me in the decision making process. Will refer me to specialist when necessary. Calls me back when I put a call into his office.

I saw Dr Spada for years. During COVID I was struggling with anxiety and depression when I contacted him his response was ,"That's not important to me, you can wait til we open back up!" And hung up on me. Then the last 1.5 years I kept reporting neck pain, he said nothing was wrong, told me I did not need xrays. I finally transfered & that doctor was very concerned. Just had an MRI to find out I have a herniated disc, pertruding disk, and stenosis. Then after having a sinus infection for 6 months I called him to refer me to an ENT. He told me to rest & eat soup! After refering myself to an ENT I have now found out I need sinus surgery. He is negligent, disrespectful, condesending, and should lose his license. Please do not go to him!!

The worst doctor I have ever had the displeasure of dealing with. He has acted completely disrespectful to me in every visit I have had the misfortune of having to schedule with him. He is utterly dismissive about my medical problems and concerns, going so far as to tell me that being my primary care physician doesn't mean anything, or require him to actually try and treat my medical needs. He is standoffish, aggressive, and dismissive of my needs as a patient, and has made me feel that if I bother him with questions or concerns during my visit, that he will withhold my medication from me. I know he feels that I have this concern as he unprompted told me that he wasn't going to withhold my medication. Not something that a doctor tells a patient who didn't ask it. He never sends out referrals nor finds specialists even when he says he is going to. He told me that he does not check his faxes, so my pharmacy can never reach them to refill prescriptions. Avoid at all costs.

Dr. Doada is thorough and patient. He has always addressed my concerns big or small.

I went to Dr Spada got ten years. He’s an exemplary physiatrist and even better person. Came to visit me in the hospital 20 miles away on a Sunday when I was admitted. Spends a lot of time with you listening and answering questions.
