What Members Are Saying

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 of my family and what it would do to them if it had been worse. I knew there was a chance that I could have another TIA or worse. So naturally I worried night and day. I felt like I had been given a warning. I wanted to make sure I did everything possible to prevent this from ever happening again. I never want to see the ones I love and hold dearly in my heart suffer, ever again, as they did that night. I was anxious for an explanation and a more in-depth description of my health, broken down in medical terms that I could understand. It was time to choose a primary Doctor. I remembered, Dr Spedale, the Dr. that diagnosed my mother with Lewy Body Dementia. The Doctor that closely monitored her, cared for her, and gave her the exact years she had remaining as a result of her diagnosis. He was right on point, we lost her to this dreadful disease in the timeframe he had predicted. But he was no longer practicing in the Clinic my mother went to. He was now a part of MDVIP. The fear set in, was he taking new patients? After discussing and explaining MDVIP with my husband, he said you are most important to me, and cost is no objection. Let’s get an appointment! I had called the office, but he wasn’t taking new patients. Then, a couple of hours later, I received a phone call from Doctor Spedale. He said he heard of what happened to me and wanted to help. My heart lit up. Tears filled my eyes and streamed down my face like a water going over the edge of a waterfall. Suddenly, my breathing eased knowing the man that cared so deeply for my mother and her health, was going to see me as well. My visit with him was about an hour and 1/2. He went over each test the hospital ran on me, explaining each in full detail so that I could better understand. He listened and answered every question I had. His words to me were, we’re going to get you through this. He was kind, respectable, honest, and optimistic. He was confident that with his treatment he would get answers and get me on the right track to good health. There would be a long road of tests ahead and discussed the lifestyle changes that would be required of me. It’s been 2 years since my TIA. Thank Sweet Jesus, no others have happened. I cannot thank Dr. Spedale enough for all that he has done for me. He brought my life back to me. I will forever be grateful to him. Because of him, I am at now at ease. He “fixed” me!! My health and life have changed significantly, and he has walked the whole way with me! I can call or text him, night, or day, and he responds immediately. That is a true blessing! Dr. Spedale, thank you for all that you have done and continue to do for me!! Thank you for your support and for always being there when I need you. I appreciate you with all my heart! Thank you for everything and for always putting my mind at ease. I am truly blessed to be a patient of such a kind and wonderful Doctor. To me, I have the best Doctor in the world!!

Renae

Patient of 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.

George

Patient of 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. Thank you so very much!

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 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!

He's the Best!

from Carolyn in AL • February 22, 2024

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 Read more...
