I do not like giving bad ratings but boy oh boy does he deserve it. He was my OB while pregnant with my first child. Every time I asked him a question he made me feel so stupid. I dreaded going in each time. I was using a naive or I would have ran fast!

He was my doctor all through my first pregnancy. He constantly made me feel stupid for asking questions, treated me like I should know everything. When it came time for my son to be born, he induced me the night before my due date with no medical necessity, and told me through the majority of my labor that I wasn’t in labor. He got into the room as I was crowning, told me not to push, and my son was inevitably born falling into the bed because he took his time with gloves rather than coming to catch my baby. He then proceeded to give me stitches without numbing agents. If he were still around this area, I’d go literally anywhere else rather than have him as my doctor again.

This physician does NOT seem to be the slightest interested in his very own field of choice. An appointment was scheduled out of pain, complications, fear, and need for diagnosis and treatment, an annual exam nor Pap smear was even going to be performed. Essentially, the appointment would have been nothing more than a chat had I not demanded an exam with Pap smear. Unbelievable!! I'm now stuck looking for another doctor who will take my symptoms seriously and investigate and treat. Staff members were extremely rude and maintained a non-caring attitude. Was not even acknowledged at check-in or check-out. Disgusted!!

Incredible, thorough, doctor! Doesn't leave a stone unturned, spends quality time answering questions, kind and compassionate. Would recommend him in a minute!

If you are looking for a doctor who treats you with respect and dignity, AVOID Dr. Spencer. He seems to prefer to preach and lecture his patients versus listening and conferring. I suspect he has chosen the wrong field since his bedside manner is so clearly lacking. BEWARE.
