A little over a year ago I had an MI and was admitted to the hospital. The first visitor I had was Dr. Spedale.
In office visits, when discussing care, he is talking to you, not at you! He makes you feel comfortable and gives you the… See more
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

Him and his staff are great
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,
We love you and can't praise you enough for always going far beyond the standards and providing excellent health care. Always being there for support, directions, and encouragement. I would not want to imagine what these last eighteen months would have been like without your support. We love You,

I was seeing Dr. Spedale before he decided to work with MDVIP. I would like for him to know he is a very good doctor and has a personal touch to his practice. He has two associates in Kimberly and Hannah that show concern for his patients and are very helpful whether it is on a phone call or through email.
Thanks to all of you.

There is no question in our mind that the healthcare we are receiving from Dr. Spedale is the very best!! There has never been a time that we had a health issue that was not addressed and handled in a very timely manner. (big or small)
