David is fantastic. Takes the time to listen, really cares however looks so stressed. We need to take care of our providers . He is the 3rd doctor I've had in ten years, I don't want him to leave. As a RN at the hospital, we give and give to others but then no one takes care of us. We are hunan and not super heroes
David is the best you have. Unfortunately he is hobbled by the deathly slow response of referral specialists. Give the man a raise and more time off!
Excellent care. David always meets me where I'm at with respect, knowledge and compassion.
Care provider clearly explained on going issues which allowed me to understand them better for the first time. Care provider answered questions I had and listened to my concerns rather than not taking them seriously. Care provider was friendly and empathetic and provided helpful information,
Everyone should be as easy to deal with as David Spence
David Spence is exceptional. Knowledgeable, compassionate, and shares information on the best healthcare plan for me. Highly recommend.
He is a great Doctor and took extra time to explain everything to me.

PA Spence is awesome and spends a lot of time with me explaining my treatment.
David Spence is excellent about listening and explaining and treats me respectfully with much care and understanding. Would like to see administrators recognize and praise his professionalism and expect this level of professionalism from more health care workers and physicians.
One of the best visits I've had in a long time!
David Spence is probably the very best P.A. I've had- and I've always felt good about all previous ones. He's very special.
Great
David Spence was wonderful! Had never seen him before and had a kind of embarrassing problem, but he made me feel at ease immediately. Also, very determined to figure out my problem.
Very good all around.
David Spence is very knowledgeable, lots of patience, good listener & explained very clearly in details. What I am doing to take of myself & what else I need to do, he listened & explained. My husband went with me. We are happy.
Good
