She's the best! Actually takes time to talk and explain everything to you. I love that she actually interacts with the patient more than her staff does. I drive over an hr just to see her.

Dr. Spady is the best Dr I've ever seen. She has the most personable bedside manner that I've ever seen. She wont stop investigating until she finds out what your diagnosis is!

Dr. Spady was cordial and attentive during office visit, but did not followup with test results. I waited 6 weeks and then called her office. I still got no response from the Dr. so I went by her office. Nurse called me to a corridor in the office and told me to stop taking statins immediately. I never heard from Dr. Spady . If you want professional care, find another doctor.

She is the best Rheumatologist I have been to by far. She is very thorough and takes the time to listen to her patients and tries to make their quality of life better. I would definitely recommend her to a friend.

I have been seeing Dr. Spady for almost six years now. You have to wait sometimes several months to get an appointment with her as a new patient. The wait for office visits vary depending on how busy they are. However, you can be rest assured that once you get to the back she is going to take her time with you and do everything she can for you. She is definitely worth the wait! Dr. Spady found out was wrong with me when ever other Dr had dismissed me and told me it was all in my head. She LISTENS to EVERYTHING you tell her and is constantly working to come up with the best care plan for you. She is very kind, soft spoken, genuinely caring and the most patient and un-rushed Dr I've ever seen. She is not afraid to research things right in front of you if she doesn't know exactly what all is going on with you. I've been impressed by her willingness to keep learning. You don't see that at all with other Dr.'s. Her office staff for the most part is fine. However, there is a major lack of… communication between the staff and Dr. Spady. I have had to call several times to get a message to the Dr or nurse! I HIGHLY recommend her!!
