I like Dr. Spuza-Milord because I believe she cares. But when she suggested I embark on an alkaline diet I followed up with research and learned that there is no scientific evidence to support it. That's when I quit seeing her. I don't miss the long waiting room times of 1-2 hours. One time, after waiting 2 hours, I asked when I would be seen and found that the office staff had overlooked putting my file in the queue and I would have to reschedule. No, I don't miss that.

I have seen Dr Spuza Milord for 15 years. She is by far the best Rheumatologist in the Tampa Bay region. Her care is compassionate and empathetic. She is also thorough and educated in proper diagnosis and treatment. I’ve come to trust her above any other doctor that I’ve have ever seen. I know that her main concern is stopping the rapid progression of both the RA and fibromyalgia. Along with easing my pain and other symptoms. I’d HIGHLY recommend her to all who suffer from autoimmune diseases.

Excellent doctor easy to talk to explains conditions,tests and treatment. Takes an extended amount of time with their patients which sometime causes a longer wait but well worth it. Very understanding about the cost of test and medications and will help work with you on finding something that’s affordable

The doctor is great. But scheduling is unacceptable. I've been trying to see her for months. Twice I was booked into appointments that later were cancelled by the staff. And each rebooking was a month or more out. I am not sure if the doctor is aware but if the staff makes scheduling errors TWICE then she should consider a new process or staff. Why have a great doctor if you can never see her?

I believe she is writing placebos. Which, in my opinion, is highly unethical.

She spent a long time on the first visit. She makes you feel comfortable and truly interested in listening to your symptoms.
I waited 8 weeks to get an initial visit. She was highly recommended by my doctor.

The Doctor was exceptional during the initial visit. However, "sales prevention" is the only thing being practiced in the front office. I was told (1) I could not get lab results without coming into the office (2) I could not leave my number for Dr. Milord to call me and (3) either I take the appointment that was offered to me or... And that's when I went elsewhere for my healthcare. I drove to each testing facility, picked up my results, and made a decision to never, ever go back.

I have been suffering for the past 8 years of which the last 3 have been miserable with a Rheumatoid Arthritis Like yet to be diagnosed ailment. Dr. Spuza-Milord spends a tremendous amount of quality time with me each and every time I have an appointment. I am always impressed at her medical knowledge and learn something new I didn't know about each appointment. She is not your typical physician that just wants to push a pill. She will recommend both traditional medicine and natural health.

I've been seeing her for years & although I have osteoporosis, in her last labs for me she did NOT check my Vit D level nor did she order it for the end of Aug! She didn't even TELL me she wasn't checking it!!! I just presumed she DID because she treats me for osteo...a little disappointed in her right now :( I hate to say this but she used to be a MUCH better doctor...{sigh}
