After seeing Dr. Spector I definitely felt I finally a doctor who knows his stuff. He was very knowledgeable, professional, and thorough. He actually listened to my concerns vs. writing me a bunch of prescriptions that may or may not work like most doctors do. All my questions were answered, medication called in promptly, and waiting time was minimal. It was easy to get an appointment and the staff was very friendly. Highly highly recommend without any reservations.

I would not recommend this doctor. While he may have license to practice medicine, he has no people skills. He talks to you like you are a doctor and when you ask questions he gets frustrated. He seems to "experiment" rather than try to find out what is really the problem. When I was there he was talking about my possible treatments with his nurse assistant and not even including me in on the conversation. Like I had no say so in what medicines he wanted to put me on. He had me on steroids for over a month with no plan to take me off of them. He said he had all of these treatments but didn't bother to discuss them with me. All he wanted me to do was keep coming in so he could change my treatment instead of finding out why I was breaking out in hives. Only go here if this is your last resort. The front office people were really nice. Too bad they work for such an awful doctor.
