Dr. Spedale

Meet A. Roland Spedale Jr., MD, FACP


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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Doctors who operate in the MDVIP models typically see far fewer patients than traditional primary care doctors. That gives them more time to develop deeper doctor-patient relationships that can lead to better outcomes. They can also offer conveniences that most primary care doctors can’t, including same- and next-day appointments. They’re available after hours for urgent matters. And they have time to focus on prevention. That focus begins with the MDVIP Wellness Program, which patients pay for with their annual membership fee.

Most MDVIP-affiliated primary care practices accept insurance (your physician can tell you whether they accept your specific insurance plan). Your annual fee pays for preventive care medical services that insurance usually doesn’t cover (e.g., advanced diagnostic testing and screenings). Your MDVIP-affiliated physician will continue to bill your insurance and charge copays, co-insurances and deductibles as he or she currently does for other medical services like sick visits.

MDVIP makes wellness and prevention easier by providing your physician with innovative tools and technology. MDVIP supports your physician’s practice and seeks to eliminate barriers to a positive healthcare experience. Your doctor will determine whether and how to incorporate these tools at his/her discretion.

I couldn't ask for a better primary care physician My wife loves the fact that she can text or call him. I rely on him for various health issues I suffer from periodically and he promptly returns her texts or calls when I am unable to correspond with him. I also appreciate his congeniality, compassion, and willingness to research solutions to allay my concerns. He is a great doctor! Stan Aman posting on my wife's account.

Dr. Spedale is the best doctor I've had in my entire life. He is personable, yet professional. He spends time with you, listens and ensures he looks into your entire health outlook. He doesn't just treat a symptom, he investigates in an attempt to find the cause. Additionally, he staff is awesome. I certainly would recommend Dr. Spedale if you are serious about your health.

I can’t say enough about Dr. Spedale’s professional ability and caring manner. He’s always available and makes it a priority to check on his patients and their families during and after business hours. Not only a talented, trusted physician to my husband and me, but a truly good guy. I’ve been a patient for many years and have recommended him to family members and friends who are all so very pleased.

I am extremely content with my association with Dr. Spedale, my MDVIP doctor. He stays current on my health conditions and has worked well to keep everything as optiimum as possible. Both myself and my late husband have been a member of the practice for several years, before MDVIP, and our support during my husband's battle with pancreatic cancer was the best we could hope for. We knew exactly what the status was and the treatments and my support has been excellent the past 7 years that I have been alone. I was able to get my mother, who will be 97 next month, into the practice and she has received the absolute best care and consideration even with multiple visits for her discomforts to keep her as active and comfortable as possible. Often what she needs is someone to listen and give moral support so she can face a few more days or weeks with age related limitations and discomforts. The office staff is phenomenal with her and when she has a concern she asks to go talk it over with Dr. Spedale. We can always call the office and get a return phone call if desired. For our care through my husband's wellness, illness, and death; for the care and support of myself for many years of good health and few issues; and for the compassionate and competent care and support for my mom for the past couple of years, I am most thankful for Dr. Spedale, his staff and the MDVIP philosophy of compassion and consideration in treating both body and mind.

Testimonials from patients of A. Roland Spedale Jr., MD, FACP

Dr. Spedale

from Renae in AL • March 18, 2024
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 think Read more...

Auto Accident and Trip to ER

from George in AL • March 11, 2024
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.

Early discovery of prostate cancer

from Joseph in AL • March 10, 2024
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. Read more...

I am VERY pleased with R. Spedale in Dothan, Alabama. He cares about his patients, listens to them and looks out

him as I do!

He's the Best!

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.
