Dr. John Gerard Spethman, MD

Very friendly. He strives to be helpful.

I came across this review and noticed two glaring falsehoods. First, I have never practiced medicine in Kimball NE. Second, the date given for when the individual was seen is after I left the State of Nebraska. This person did not see me. I left Nebraska in 2014. My Rating was done by myself so my response could be submitted.

This doctor was condescending and almost rude. He basically told me that my previous doctor did everything wrong, which really upset me because I had seen my previous doctor for many years and trusted him. This doctor wants me to go through all the same treatments and jsee the same specialists that I have already seen for my problems. He didn't bother to read about all the different treatments, procedureKks , and issues that I have already been throuhhhgh. He reads a diagnosis and decides from there whether he wants to deal with you. He did not even address my current concerns. He did refer me to a different doctor. Then he forgot about me and left me sitting in a room for almost 30 minutes. By this time I was so upset and just wanted to leave. This is the exact type of Doctor that I do not want to see. I am looking for a general practioner, someone that could treat a variety of medical problems and most importantly someone I could trust. If he didn't agree with my… previous doctor why didn't he suggest alternative treatments? His solution was for me to go away. He got what he wanted because I will be looking for a different doctor.
