Dr. Sperber is a great physician and truly cares about the patient’s wellbeing. I’m glad he’s my primary physician and I’ll ask him whenever I need to be referred to a specialist.

For patient safety, MemorialCare Medical Group providers will not prescribe most controlled substances (including opioids like codeine, and benzodiazepines like valium) for new patients they have only evaluated via telehealth, rather than in person. Many controlled substances have a high potential for abuse, and overdose on controlled substances may result in death. Without an in person visit, the potential risk outweighs the intended benefit.
If you believe you may need a prescription for a controlled substance, please schedule an in person visit.
After growing up in the San Diego area, Dr. Sperber went across the country to complete both his undergraduate degree and medical degree in Rhode Island before returning to Southern California.
Board certified in internal medicine, Dr. Sperber says, "San Clemente is such a great town. It has been both my pleasure and privilege to serve the health care needs of the people of San Clemente and surrounding areas for over 20 years. And, I look forward to continuing to do so as part of MemorialCare Medical Group."

This was my first visit to Dr Sperber. He was very attentive and made me feel very comfortable and confident about his capabilities, character and my overall experience of him!
More than 1 year agoMichael C.Verified patient
By far the absolute worst MD I have ever worked with. Absolutely has no interest examine how your health is going. Doesn't ask questions, doesn't check your heart, pulse to atleast make sure your vitals are good. Difficult to understand, Poor listening skills, diverts a lot of conversations toward topic that aren't relevant to your visit. Challenges recalling previous visits. Doesn't take the Times to help you get to the root of the problem. Passive, absolutely unprofessional, Walking out will feel the same is walking in, nothing will be accomplished

The time and professional care I received would exceed an average patient's expectations, but my experience of exemplary care is consistent with Dr. Sperber.

Dr. Sperber is an incredible doctor. He always remembers my medical history and listens to my medical concerns. Turns out for my medical issues, Dr. Sperber provided the name of an over the counter medication. He also guided me to the appropriate pharmacy that would carry the medication.

Dr. Sperber is my new PCP since Dr. Dung Trinh retired. Dr. Trinh recommended Dr. Sperber since I wanted an Internist for my PCP. This is my 1st visit to Dr. Sperber. He is very caring and thorough. Dr. Sperber was well aware of my medical needs & concerns; my impression was that he spent time reviewing my medical history before I saw him and was well prepared. I am looking forward to building a relationship with him as my doctor.

Doctor Sperber and his team are professional and courteous even when I'm not. Patience and gentleness with a sick and unruly client is going beyond what is expected. I truly appreciate their helpfulness and interest in my health. Doctor Sperber was especially helpful in seeking further assistance for other needed exams for breast cancer screenings. He was attentive to staying within my medical insurance requirements. He takes great care in explaining things in detail to me and will stop and listen attentively when I speak. His staff are caring and helpful, willing to listen and forgive and overlook when I may be hurting or scared. Thank you team!!!
