My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...

Medicine has been at the center of my life and quickly became a fascination ever since I was a young child navigating a complex chronic disease. It was a natural extension that I was drawn to primary care because of the meaningful relationships I am now honored to build with my patients and the ability to help provide life-changing care across the lifespan. Today’s approach to healthcare too often focuses on quantity over quality which can neglect to appreciate the individualism innate to every patient that contributes to health and disease. It is my belief that the most fundamental role as your physician is to devote as much time as needed to understand your health and wellness goals so we can better reach your optimal health, together. Being an MDVIP-affiliated doctor helps me achieve this, as it allows for close doctor-patient relationships to be built, along with time to help identify and address aspects that contribute to your health (for example, what you eat, how much you exercise, how you cope with stress, understanding your unique metabolism and genetics), and to be present for you if you become ill or need me urgently.

I practice full spectrum primary care with an emphasis on the management (and often possible reversal!) of chronic medical conditions using exercise therapy, clinical nutrition, advanced laboratory diagnostic testing and medications when appropriate. I offer many office-based services, including gynecologic, minor surgical, dermatologic and orthopedic procedures and management of many urgent medical problems. I also provide house calls as necessary. 

I have pursued advanced training in integrative medicine, as I recognize that blending allopathic and evidence-based non-allopathic modalities can often help produce improved health outcomes. I am also passionate about nutrition, and with my clinical research background, I regularly serve as an invited Peer Reviewer for several medical nutrition journals. I respect that medicine is indeed a practice and is always evolving, and therefore routinely participate in a wide variety of continuing education beyond what is necessary so that I can offer you the personalized care you deserve.

from DYAN in UT March 11, 2024 for Spenser Reed, MD

Dr. Spenser Reed is relatively new to Park City, Utah and the MDVIP program. In two short years of his practice, he has endeared himself to his patients, especially to me. Spenser took over a practice that did not use electronic records so for the first 6 months, he spent his weekends imputing all the information about his patients into a data base. This exhausting practice allowed him to… See more

from James in UT February 11, 2024 for Spenser Reed, MD

Dr. Reed and his staff have consistently provided superlative service, an excellence that I'd first experienced with his now retired predecessor, Dr. Kim Scott. I get an emailed summary. of my visits. He patiently explains complex conditions understandably. He listens well and somehow sorts through my words and symptoms to provide carefully considered recommendations. He goes above and beyond… See more

from William in UT February 11, 2024 for Spenser Reed, MD

Dr. Spencer Reed of Park City seems to have a special knack for listening. When I first met him at the introduction appointment, I did all the talking. He was very quiet. Then about a week later when I saw him he responded with most of my concerns and offered suggestions .This is a true gift. He also responds when I email, even late at night . I have a sincere respect for his professionalism… See more

from Robert in UT February 11, 2024 for Spenser Reed, MD

Doctor Reed is an excellent physician and has always been available when I needed 24/7. He has been able to take care of any medical issues that come up for either my wife or myself. We both feel very fortunate to have him as our doctor and wouldn't consider going anywhere else.

I have a new physician here in Park City, Utah. His name is Dr. Spenser Reed. I've only met him and known him since June of 2023. I am also an RN. Having my annual physical in June 2023 with Dr. Reed was exciting as he was new, yet at the same time was sad to miss my previous physician, Dr. Kim Scott. Fast forward to August, September and October of 2023. I began experiencing… See more

Dr. Reed and his nursing and admin staff went above and beyond in my unexpected journey battling heart issues. Upon discovering AFIB, PVC and PAC incidences, they immediately ordered Holter monitoring, EKGs, ECHOS, stress tests, and appointments for Electrophysiology.

In today’s healthcare environment, scheduling any of these in a timely way is certainly a challenge. But Dr. Reed and… See more

from Sam and Kay in UT January 19, 2024 for Spenser Reed, MD

In October, 2023 my husband and I had sold our house in Park City and moved to a house we built in Mesquite, NV. We were not sure how we were going to deal with our MDVIP doctor in Park City, but we were unwilling to just leave. As it turned out, the day after we moved into the house, I noticed my husband's leg looked swollen. I took a photo of it with my cellphone and sent it to Dr.… See more
