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.

Needs to educate himself on Autism
Horrible bedside manner with me, made me feel stupid for asking questions, told my son with Autism while he was crying from being examined “oh stop, that doesn’t hurt” needs to really educate himself on Autism spectrum disorder. He rushed us and was extremely dismissive, I wouldn’t recommend him to anyone but for sure not someone who’s child has ASD.

Horrible bedside manner with Parents
Very condescending to parents, especially to one that is a healthcare professional. Tried to use scare tactics for a surgery never needed. 2 years later my son is not snoring and I still unappreciated his bedside manner.

Horrible Experience - Doesn’t Care Zero Stars
My daughter suffers from chronic sinusitis. Was referred to him spent less than 5 minutes looking at her said her ears looked great and that she probably suffers from allergies. Okay, 7 days later she has fluid in her ears and is sick again. Will be going to another specialist that a actually cares and takes the time with to properly diagnose and spend more than 5 minutes. If I could give zero stars I would!!!

Zero Stars. Very unhappy with the service we got from Dr. Sprecher. He blew off my concerns about sleep apnea with my 5.5 year old son, just like every other doctor has in all the years I've expressed my concerns. He spent less than 5 minutes with us and told me his breathing issues (lifelong) were probably just allergies. The allergy panel came back completely negative, as I knew it would. Dr. Sprecher didn't do anything beyond shining a light on my son's tonsils before sending us on our way. Fast forward 6 months when my son was supposed to have an unrelated surgery and I demanded a sleep study be done before allowing him to go under general anesthesia. Turns out I was RIGHT and my now 6 year old son was just diagnosed with SEVERE obstructive sleep apnea, which could have killed him if he was put under general anesthesia without that being known. I would recommend finding a better ENT who cares enough to do a thorough exam. So glad I advocate for my kids and do my own research.
