Patient Testimonials

Dr Spencer is a genuine caring Doctor and person! He is the kind of doctor who TAKES TIME TO LISTEN AND HEAR WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY! I am never rushed and feel every question I have answered with compassion and care. I believe that he puts himself in the patient shoes on HOW you would want to be cared for! He treats you as a person and not a number! I am very grateful for him and the staff there!

Dr. Spencer is one of the best Drs, I've had! He listens, we both brainstorm, and he actually cares about not just what is good on health wise, but asks about the family too. It's going to be hard when we fully say goodbye as Dr- Patient in September 2022.

Dr. Spencer is absolutely amazing! He takes time to really listen to what you have to say and shows a great deal of compassion. He is the only Dr. I have ever seen where I felt comfortable enough to actually cry when explaining my issues. He makes you feel as though you are the only patient he has. I leave his office feeling like he really and truly saw ME and HEARD me.

Dr Selden Spencer always takes the time to make sure everything is addressed. He also makes the visit very comfortable by making sure to ask how things are going and how I'm feeling.
