Patient Reviews
Apr 02, 2020
Dr. Spiegel was a life saver for me. During the corona virus pandemic, Dr. Spiegel agreed to see me on short notice to evaluate an auto-immune problem that was seriously affecting my health, with potential for serious lifelong impacts. No other doctors were available in my immediate area. He coordinated with my primary Dr. and quickly determined from his evaluation at the appt and bloodwork previously completed what the issue was and I am now on my way to recovery. He is no nonsense, direct and gets down to business. I recommend Dr. Spiegel
