  1. He spoke to me and asked questions about me, my lifestyle, and my daily routine to understand any possible explanation for my pain instead of just diagnosing and treating the pain for that moment. Gave me advice to prevent further injury and did not push having to purchase the office Orthopedics but let it be an option.

  2. Dr. Spector is a very kind and knowledgeable doctor. He spent a great deal of time answering my questions, and I truly appreciated that.
