This visit was a waste of time. [...] So no, I don't recommend this doctor. The nurse that took my blood pressure was more sympathetic and showed more care then the doc did.

I would give Dr Spatz a 10 on all of these! She is the most caring doctor I have ever seen! I have already started telling others about her care. She helped me, gave me hope, and made me feel like I was her most important focus for that visit. Dr Spatz is wonderful!
