My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...

My objective has always been to focus on providing personal attention for my patient's individual healthcare and well-being. I have learned over the last 15 plus years that really listening to my patients gives me the opportunity to provide ideal care. Letting the patient speak is fast disappearing from medical practice that has become cluttered with institutions, systems, and rules that distract from patient care.

As an MDVIP-affiliated physician, I have the time and resources that allow me to formulate a wellness plan that will help you achieve your health goals. Whether you are dealing with acute or chronic conditions, we will carefully and proactively individualize your treatment providing clear explanation of your options.

In my practice, we create a stronger doctor-patient relationship which enhances your personalized medical care and allows you to achieve optimal health. We will compassionately partner together to maximize wellness and experience an improved quality of life. My interests include patient education, healthy nutrition and exercise, as well as risk assessments/treatments for diabetes, coronary disease and stroke prevention.

Testimonials from patients of Dr. Spedale

from Renae in AL March 18, 2024 for A. Roland Spedale Jr., MD, FACP

My story began on 2/26/2022, the night that I had a TIA. I spent 2 nights in the hospital. It was one of the scariest moments of my life. I was 53 and never in my life dreamed this would happen to me. I have a wonderful loving husband, son, and daughter. They witnessed all this happening. This too was extremely hard on them. I thank sweet Jesus that I had no permanent injuries. I could only… See more

from George in AL March 11, 2024 for A. Roland Spedale Jr., MD, FACP

After being rear ended in September 2013 I made a trip to our local ER. Dr Spedale was there rounding on patients. He checked in on me and one thing lead to another. The tests he performed lead him to conclude that further evaluation was necessary. One thing led to another and 24 hours later I had triple bypass surgery.
His intervention probably saved me from a heart attack. Many thanks… See more

from Mary in AL March 9, 2024 for A. Roland Spedale Jr., MD, FACP

I am VERY pleased with R. Spedale in Dothan, Alabama. He cares about his patients, listens to them and looks out
for what it best for them. I couldn't ask for a better doctor. My son also uses Dr. Spedale and he feels the same toward
him as I do!

from Joseph in AL March 10, 2024 for A. Roland Spedale Jr., MD, FACP

In 2009, Dr. Spedale noticed my PSA (I think that was the item) numbers increased quite a bit over the previous year. He immediately got me an appointment with Dr. Judd Williams (Urologist) and he diagnosed me with prostate cancer. Dr. Williams performed surgery in September 2009 and I have been cancer free since. Dr. Spedale's early detection has meant everything to me and my family… See more

from Carolyn in AL February 22, 2024 for A. Roland Spedale Jr., MD, FACP

Our doctor, Anthony Spedale, looks after me and my husband better than we do! He is proactive and deeply interested in our health even though we are "deemed too old to waste time on". He has found so many problems with our health that we would have let go with disastrous results. My husband's brain hematoma for one.
We have never needed him when we had to wait for an… See more

from Cynthia in AL February 15, 2024 for A. Roland Spedale Jr., MD, FACP

Dr Spedale has been our GP for several years now. As previous MDVIP members in another state with a wonderful doctor, Charles Halfpenny in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, we were fortunate to find an MDVIP doctor in our chosen area through a friends' recommendation. Dr Spedale is always the professional going above and beyond traditional patient care. If he feels you need referred to a specialist,… See more

from John in AL February 12, 2024 for A. Roland Spedale Jr., MD, FACP

Dr. Roland Spedale (Doc)has a way to hear you and support you like no other. Doc provides the best service with a staff he has trained himself to provide the best care of anyone. I have moved frequently with my work and anytime I call I can get what I need and he does it with such hospitality and treats me like family. Sometimes I make a 6 hour drive just so I don’t have to go any other… See more

in December I died 3 times. So you know you can hear what people are saying when your in third person and out of it. It was reassuring to me that I saw and heard my concierge doctor standing at the foot of my gurney talking with my two friends. I heard every word they said. My BFF told him if I was a dog she would put me down. Sweet. He gave them good advise and told them to leave. Cause if I… See more

from John in AL February 12, 2024 for A. Roland Spedale Jr., MD, FACP

I have been very happy with the medical service I have received from Dr. Spedale over the years. I have been seeing him for my medical needs before he was associated with MDVIP.. I really enjoy that he is working with MDVIP because of the additional time he is able to spend with me during my appointments.
I will be seeing him in March for my annual physical blood work, physical workup… See more

from Kathy in AL February 11, 2024 for A. Roland Spedale Jr., MD, FACP

We’ve been going to Dr Spedale for over 20 years. He’s always taken care of us but one time stands out more than any others. I went to him with chest pains in 2003. He admitted me to the hospital just to have some blood tests made to check things out. He came in to the hospital and said one of the blood tests was normal but the other one was not. He turned me over to a cardiologist and after a… See more
