Dr. Spoor is the greatest. He really cares about his patients. When you see him, you know he has a real love for what he does and in helping people. He is a down to earth person and very easy to talk to. Other Doctors should follow his ways. You are in real good hands with this Doctor. The best Doctor I ever had.

I started treatment with Dr. Spoor after a motor vehicle accident. He came highly recommended by other doctors. He did a thorough exam and takes the time to listen, unlike so many highly skilled doctors, unfortunately. His credentials are impeccable. I highly recommend! I wish more doctors were like him. Office staff is pleasant and professional, too.

I was referred to Dr. Spoor Six years ago from my Neuroligist. I went to him for migrane headaches and cervical fusion intense pain in neck and shoulders. For several years I would see him every two, three months for intensive pain. Dr. Spoor injects my head, neck and shoulders with beta blockers and Botox injections. This seems to work so well without taking numerous pills everyday, which was the big concern of mine, due to nothing was taking away the pain and migranes. I strongly suggest anyone with severe migranes to see Dr. Spoor, I admire him so much and would strongly refer him.

I have been a patient of Dr. Thomas C. Spoor for more than 13 years. I have found him to be professonal, thorough, patient, compassionate and accomodating. He is truly a rare find these days - He takes the time to explain your condition to you (the patient) as well as your family. I would recommend him to my loved ones (family & extended family) and friends, even more importantly, I would also trust him with their care.
