Dr Spady is the most caring and compassionate physician I’ve ever seen. I hobbled in her office in so much pain I could barely function. She took my hand , looked me in the eye and said “I can help you!” And she has!! I highly recommend her. The wait time for appointments is worth it.

Not only that, she made me feel very comfortable, spoke in a language that I could understand and she has a great bedside manner...Read More
