Dr Spann was excellent in answering my questions and was also very informative on a level that was understandable. He never made me feel rushed to get on to the next patient but took his time and answered all my concerns.

Dr. Spann is amazing. He has wonderful bedside manner. We discussed my issue, the options available and any and all questions I had. He took as much time as I needed. I did not feel rushed during the visit like I was just another patient.
