Dr. Spann is amazing. He has wonderful bedside manner. We discussed my issue, the options available and any and all questions I had. He took as much time as I needed. I did not feel rushed during the visit like I was just another patient.

Dr. Spann is extremely personable. Obviously very knowledgeable but explains things on my non-medical level. Spent a good amount time on my concerns. He never tried to rush me. He's been great.
