I wish Dr. Spates could be my doctor. She is awesome with our children and with us. She always calms all of our fears and educates us while treating our children. Wish there were more health professionals like Dr. Spates. She is a true professional.

Dr. Spates is an absolutely professional and caring doctor. My kids all love her, as do I and my husband. She has always gotten us in quickly for sick kids and is very calming and reassuring. I feel so lucky to have her as our doctor. Her nurse practitioner, Linda Fletcher, is also wonderful and her staff is very caring.

I have 3 children and they have been patients of Dr. Spates since birth. My oldest is now 18. Not sure I will ever find such a caring Pediatrician and office to take care of my children.
