SHC Patient, Aug 2018
Dr Spain is an excellent surgeon. He took the time to explain to my husband emergency surgery done . I was so glad he was my surgeon.
SHC Patient, Aug 2018
Dr. Spain is the best doctor I've ever had. He always takes the time to walk me through my health problems and concerns.
SHC Patient, Aug 2018
He was obviously very tired, was short but thorough. Still would recommend as a surgeon. Bedside matter needs polishing.
SHC Patient, Jun 2018
great people, and they treat you like a human not a number
SHC Patient, May 2018
Doctor was very professional and respectful.
SHC Patient, Feb 2018
Dr. Spain always treats me as a person not just a patient. he discusses my situation not just with a resident but with me as well. His mannerism is humble and I feel more relaxed and at ease to ask questions.

SHC Patient, Dec 2016
Great on all accounts
SHC Patient, Dec 2016
Thanks.
SHC Patient, Nov 2016
Did not take concerns about post-op infections very seriously, and I did end up having one. After care was not explained well until after the surgery. Wish I could have prepared better.
SHC Patient, Jul 2016
Doctor forgets to mention I have metal pieces in my abdomen as a result of surgery (!). When I requested explanation, he says "you're not going to notice", which is vaguely insulting.
SHC Patient, Jun 2016
There was nothing given to me after the fact. No handouts explaining how to care for the wound. Nothing saying what was normal or what was cause for worry. Nothing explaining what they just did to me. I found this very shocking! I'm used to getting a whole pamphlet even for a vaccine, much less a surgery! I had to take some pictures of the wound site and send it to the doctor in subsequent days because I didn't know if it was normal. And I still hope I'm doing the right things to take care of it, since I received no instructions.
SHC Patient, May 2016
Felt a bit curt and rushed to begin with, but was willing to answer questions and gave a clear explanation of the options.
SHC Patient, May 2016
Good experience.
SHC Patient, Mar 2016
Excellent!

Suggestion: Advise patients (open hernia surgery) that the pain medication may will cause constipation and that is the reason for the recommendation stool softener (some patients are not aware of the pain medication).
SHC Patient, Jan 2015
Being pregnant and having an epigastric hernia I didn't have any professional diagnostic from this provider even after I told him I had and ultrasound (that says I have a hernia)
SHC Patient, Dec 2014
Dr. Spain, his assistants, all of his staff have been respectful, quick in getting me to the exam room, where Dr. Spain is specific, and kind in my follow-up care. Everyone in this office is very professional, while they show their courtesy.
SHC Patient, Dec 2014
Dr. Spain is excellent and I truly appreciate his expertise & skill.
SHC Patient, Oct 2014
I had emergency surgery 400 miles from home this visit was a hand-off from one surgeon to the other. Dr. Spain was completely informed & ready for me.
SHC Patient, Sep 2014
I'm very optimistic about my upcoming surgery.
SHC Patient, Sep 2014
He is either RUDE, arrogant or a great combo of both. I didn't follow through with him operating. I would never let him cut me open!
SHC Patient, Jun 2014
Good.
SHC Patient, Feb 2014
Dr. did not acknowledge husband at all.
