Dr. Spektor has always been very understanding of the pain experienced by his patients. He honestly cares about how you feel and provides advice and recommendations that are viable. Dr. Spektor sincerely celebrates your progress and respects patient's input. Treatments are well explained, before and after they are executed leaving no room for misunderstandings. I am very fortunate to have him as my pain management doctor.

He is an integral part of my health team. Also, One of my most trusted Specialists, bc I KNOW HE ACTUALLY LISTEN & CARES ABOUT ME...Holistically! THIS VISIT I REFUSED TO MISS, bc I needed to fact-check other specialists' recommendations, (those who may treat more textbook, vs individually). In true form, he noted things that could be harmful to me, and valued my hx & insights too.

Dr. Fisher and Dr. Spektor were an excellent team. Dr. Fisher examined me before Dr. Spektor came into the room, she was very thorough asking me questions about my pain and my experience with my condition thus far. She asked follow up questions as well. Dr. Fisher took her time with me and was transparent about treatment options. She was professional and compassionate. Dr. Spektor was very personable and also genuinely listened to me. He educated me about the changes he was making to my medication as well as encouraged me to do the best I can despite my rare condition. Dr. Spector was very kind and professional.

Dr. Spektor is one of the best doctors I have ever had. He is kind and caring. He listens and discusses options for treatment. His treatment solutions have improved my life greatly. I can't say enough good things about him.
- 2 out of 5 starsReviewed on 5/15/2024
The Fellow was thorough. Dr. Spektor could care less about me or anything that I had going on. He spent the majority of the bries time we had leaning against the exam table while spewing out information I could have 100% found on WebMD. He didn't even care to look at my additional notes on my condition. What's the point of being in healthcare if you don't care about people? Horrible experience. Absolute horrible. His Fellow was great. He was horrible.
