He does not have the best interest of this patients at heart - will give incorrect diagnosis leading to very serious health issues - even life/death situations. Very cold demeanor and does not follow up at all.

BEWARE of this man.. He has an EGO bigger than the Hospital he works for. I went to him very sick and he basically made me feel like it was all in my head. I had bad Adhesions with a tumor on my liver and this doctor refused to treat me. I finally did find a Dr. who knew what they were doing and am well now, thanks be to GOD above, but with NO HELP from this Doctor. He seemed to think I was making stuff up, but had to have 3 major surgeries to correct the medical issues I had. Beware of any so called Dr. that has an Ego so big he can't see past himself. One of the worst Dr. visit's I have EVER had. BEWARE!!!

One of the few doctors who can make you feel as if you are the most important patient that they have. He always comes in with a smile and never leaves the room before all of your questions are answered. I believe he is a major reason for the improvements in the Emory Transplant Clinic.

I walked away from Dr. Spiveys office in complete shock. Never had I been treated with such care and concern. I felt as if Dr. Spivey had known me for years and truly plans on being there for me throughtout my illness. At this time in my life it is nice to know that there are still doctors in this world who are there for their patients and seemingly not for their pocketbook.
