I had my daughter under Dr Spaeth for 2 years age 1-2 years then we relocated..and since then every time we have a doc visit I remember him. He had set the bars soo high that I just can't get any other ped reaching even close to that. .The moment you talk to him half of your illness just disappears. I so wish that I could have him as my daughters doc every place I go.. My kid started talking late . Every single person told me negative things..Dr Spaeth was the only one who kept on saying nothing is wrong and yes Doc you were right..Now she just doesn't stop. Thank You for everything that you do...

Dr Spaeth has a great manner with our sons, and puts them at ease. I have plenty of time to discuss any health issues, he gives us options, and he is clear in describing complex health conditions.

I had two peds prior to Dr. Spaeth he is hands down the best pediatrician I have ever met. I have met with several doctors @ childrens (not impressed). My boys love him and he really cares for them. For example when he walks into the room he goes straight to my boys then to me. He knows them all by name & knows exactly what meds they are on without looking at the chart. Plus he is a math genuis.

Dr. Spaeth is the best pediatrician my children have had. I was referred to him by a friend who had her daughter's heart condition correctly diagnosed in one visit to Dr. Spaeth after consulting many heart specialists who had no idea what was wrong with her. His bedside manner always displays how much he cares for children. He is thorough in all explanations and usually shares crazy fun facts :) So glad we found Dr. Spaeth!
