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 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

My husband and I became patients of Dr Spedale right after Covid hit. He called for baseline tests for us but especially my husband Don. He was adopted and had no background info. Dr Spedale called for a treadmill

from Andrew L in AL January 18, 2024 for A. Roland Spedale Jr., MD, FACP

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. A. Roldan Spedale's professionalism, organization, bedside manner, and comfort in the patient/doctor relationship all are above standard.
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

from Patricia in AL March 15, 2020 for A. Roland Spedale Jr., MD, FACP

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
