Patient Reviews
Nov 09, 2022
Dr Spivak was able to eliminate the constant debilitating lower back pain I have been experiencing for years. I can now get a good nights sleep and stand upright. I have other issues with my back but I chose not to have “rods and screws” put in my back which would entail major surgery. I was also shocked that Dr Spivak called me personally to get my surgery date moved up. I never had that happen to me . I have had 15 operations on various parts of my body. Dr Spivak in my opinion is not a talker, he focuses on your problem and then explains what he thinks the best coarse of action would be for your particular problem. My kind of doctor for sure. I was and am very comfortable with him and would highly recommend him. Lastly his staff is very polite and accommodating which makes scheduling of appointments a breeze.
