"My first impression of Dr. Spivak was that he knew what he was talking about and that he truly cared about his patients.
Before you can even get an appt to see him, you must attend a seminar. At the seminar, he talks about the types of surgeries that he performs, pros and cons of each, risks involved and what you can expect as a result. I found the seminar to be very interesting and he takes the time to answer any and all questions raised.
The second time I saw him was in his office for my initial visit, where again, he asked if I had any questions and again went through the different types of surgeries. He asked which I wanted and why, and then made him recommendation based on his examination and questions asked. I was very impressed.
His office staff is terrific. They too are very knowledgable regarding the surgeries, and totally up to date with dealing with the insurance companies. I didn't really do anything, they took care of all the paperwork and I was approved within 2 weeks.
The morning of surgery, of course I saw Doc and he asked if I was ready to begin a new part of my life. Again...quite impressed.
My husband however was not as impressed, as he said that when the surgery was over, Doc came in and told him everything went well and I was in recovery, and then left. Hubby said Doc didn't give him time to ask any questions and he just seemed in a hurry to get out of there. I again saw him a couple of times during my hospital stay, (I really don't remember the first couple of days, so I don't remember if he was there every day of not...I'm sure he was.) My first visit back to the office a month later was as terrific as the first time. Again the office staff was courteous and very friendly. I would very highly recommend Dr. Spivak and his staff. "
"This was a very pleasant experience, right from the beginning.. I pre-registered over the phone and eveyone was very helpful and extremely courteous. I would highly recommend this hospital."
