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.

Testimonials from patients of Dr. Spedale
My husband has MS. Thanks to Dr Spedale and his wonderful staff, our family is able to enjoy being in our home. Dr Spedale has provided not only excellent medical care but his patience and willingness to really listen is such a blessing.
My story is simply this fact: Dr Spedale is the first Dr. in 70 yrs of my life that has shared his cell number with me and told me to call him if outside of office hrs if a problem arises. He did have to do that! I have moved 5.5 hrs from him since retiring but still see him for primary medical needs
He is a great, caring Dr

Dr. Spedale has been my doctor for 10+ years. He's seen me through the worst of times. He always makes sure I understand what we need to do to keep me healthy as possible. He was always my late husband's doctor. He found his lung cancer super early and gave me more time with my husband of 40 years. Dr. Spedale has always been the greatest of doctors and I'm so glad he's on… See more

Fortunately, I have not had serious issues. However, Dr. Spedale is always available for any concerns I may have and able to assist. He is highly professional and knowledgeable with an approachable manner.
Dr. Spedale and Staff,
