I highly recommend Dr. Spelts. He is very thorough, knowledgable, and takes the time to explain your condition and treatment and ensures your understanding of both. He also takes the time to answer your questions and concerns. Outstanding experience !
This (recent visit) was our second encounter with this doctor with our son. The first time we saw him was on July 2022. The first time we saw him had to wait over an hour and he literally spent 5 mins and left saying no issues. Later we found my son had stress fractures in his foot (different doctor). This time we saw him and same thing. No follow up notes nothing in Mychart. He asks us to come see him in two weeks but found out he is on vacation that week in scheduling. Totally irresponsible. I am not sure how others have h... read more
The appointment felt rushed, my concerns about my pain were dismissed, he was denigrating the work of his colleagues throughout the appointment, and telling me that I had been scheduled with the wrong people and gotten the wrong tests, but did not order any new tests or do anything different from his colleagues at SCOI.
SOCI -I didn't mind he was late to the appointment, but to not introduce himself to the patient nor acknowledge my presence as the family care giver was uncomfortable. He wouldn't even look at me which was weird, until my family member introduced me. However...My goal was to help my family member get the care they needed, get a plan and get them out of pain. I thought maybe he was having a bad day.-didn't reference the pages of SOCI questions of health history, even when I mentioned he might want to look at them.-didn't have... read more
Dr. Richard J. Spelts Jr. spent maybe 15 minutes talking to me during my appointment (the rest of the time I talked to his nurse and his MA, so total appointment time was about 30 minutes) and charged me $ 1282 for that visit using some code for initial visit more than 30 minutes. Which is ridiculous, frustrating, and extremely disappointing. He definitely does not care about his patients if he can charge this amount for initial office visit without even making a diagnosis. I will need go to this office again. And will never... read more
Lack of empathy, condescending and combative when asked a question. Spent more time typing notes with his back turned than explaining the results and next steps. Wish I had started with a different doctor but he had an immediate opening which now I can see why.
This was the worse experience I had ever had. Dr Spelts was rushed and did not listen to my actual concerns. At first it seemed like he was because he was typing while I described issue but did nothing to help. I had to find a different doctor. Terrible and waste of time and money.
I would not recommend Dr Spelts. He blew me off and did not seem concerned about my health. I ended up getting a second opinion and found out that I had a dislocated knee and several torn ligaments that Dr Spelts rushed past.
I was surprised by Dr Spelts’ lack of empathy regarding my pain and issues with working as a result. He minimized my pain/concerns saying students with similar injuries had no issue so he couldn’t justify taking me out of work if they could go to school. I was shocked as I am a professional, middle aged woman, with benefits through my employer (that I pay into) and I told him I needed a week to get my mobility back and get ahead of the pain so I could perform at work and he refused. I felt unheard and left to navigate pain &... read more
