I was ent to Dr Spellman after I had a retinal bleed .He diagnosed my Glaucoma and Macular degeneration.I hv been under his care for Glaucoma for 4 yrs and have found him to be a very thorough and capable physician. He did both my cataract surgeries as well as my husbands . His office staff are friendly and always helpful. I would highly recommend Dr Spellman to anyone in need of a physician for Glaucoma or eye surgery I would highly recommend
