"my first impression was, he was shorter than I expected. He was also very personable, knowledgable and direct. Over time i still feel he's very personable, there's nothing I cant talk to him about. I'd choose him again. His office staff is very friendly and professional, especially Charlene LPN who's had surgery. I least liked nothing about him, he was and is great. Future patients should know, he's very direct and to the point. Do your homework first before going to see him, this way it's just a refresher, and have your list of questions, b/c he'll ask if you have any questions. He's very emphatic on after care. There are structured appointments for aftercare as well as an appointment with the dietician lisa King.She's also very direct but personable also, she refers to you as "her patient" I liked that. Again he's direct and to the point regarding the risks of this surgery, and there are real risks. I would rate DR. Spencer a 10+ he's awesome, my experience was also awesome, I think this was one of the reasons I came to Virginia, cause I'm from Philadelphia, and my family and I are soon moving back there.My goodness I would say both. Iv'e had 0 complications from my surgery, my scars healed really well, I had laproscopic RNY, so his surgical competence is awesome. My roommate and I habthe same type surgery, on the same day, with the same surgeon, so when he rounded he saw both of us. He politely sat down unhurried, and talked to us about the plans for the day, and askedhow we were feeling, he examined us individually, taking his time. He then asked if we had any questions, and patiently answered all our questions and concerns. Again he and his staff are awesome."
