What Patients Are Saying

0.75

It is now very clear after this visit, Dr Spitzer is much more interested in his research projects than his patients. I had referred him to several friends needing knee or hip replacement - NO LONGER REFERRING Dr Spitzer and will highly consider a different doctor when my other knee and my hop need replacement. Reminder- he left country day after my knee replacement - I only found out day after surgery when he did not come to hospital for my check up. If I had known he as leaving for vacation I would never had the surgery on that date and would have waited until he returned. That was NOT Dr Spitzers decision to make. Shame on him & Cedars not to take in consideration what patient wants and needs. HORRIBLE!!!

Doctor entered exam room and says " I have reviewed your records and films, talked to my resident and I feel you do not need surgery, I can't help you, I HAVE OTHER PATIENT'S to see" I was astounded at this. I tried to hammer in a few questions, and in my after-vist summary, he implies I talk too much. After battling for 34 years, having more than 9 surgeries, he has been one of, if not the worst doctors I have ever felt with. He has no care at all for people, and only wants surgery patient's, I assume so he can take money.

From the very moment of my arrival I was directed to get an X-RAY and thereafter to be seen by the PA along with the MD. Waiting time was NOT an issue at all. Assessment of my issue was clearly addressed with care and resulting discussions were based close examination of my affected pain-areas.
