Jan 2024Dr Spiers listened to my concerns and answered my questions was completely satisfied with my visit.
Verified patient
Jan 2024Some items on my chart were not right; I wish to note to correct them. 1) Church attendance yes regular until covid and the need to take care of my deceased sisters 14 year old dog, so now I mostly stream or use tv/internet. 2- sister -heart condition -not to my knowledge. Also, my symptoms are all the same (so not listed as new or more) so I did not check the box and they do include weakness and fatigue, also have concerns for memory, etc. I have submitted my Power of Attorney papers several times and it is the same -my sister serves for my health concerns and any financial issues upon any severe illness or death.

Sep 2023The office staff was most accommodating. I left my home early with plenty of time to arrive. But there was an accident on the freeway, and I sat for 45 minutes. I called the office to say I didn't think I was going to make it. They informed me that I had an extra 15 minutes grace time and were able to take the next scheduled person ahead of me. I appreciated the flexibility and was able to see the doctor as scheduled.

Verified patient
Aug 2023The lab for bloodwork was ridiculously backed up. I waited nearly an hour. There were 16 people in an alcove for 9 chairs. Staff appeared to be doing their best, but it should not take that long or be that chaotic in the waiting area.
Verified patient
Aug 2023I had to wait to see the doctor for quite some time with no explanation. This happened the time before also. Everyone in the waiting room went in before me, and I was there way before them. Just curious why this keeps happening.

Her office X-Ray ed my ankle and determined that I sprained it when I fell. This was a typical example of how New HanoverNovant Health has always responded to any last minute requests for health care assistance. I am a grateful patient!
Verified patient
Jul 2023I am still hoping to hear back about an Orthopedic for my groin and hip area referral.
Verified patient
Jul 2023I hope the vit b helps me with my exhaustion, lack of strength, and energy - and that I get more answeres, right solutions to my health situation, I do not believe It is just getting older, some people my age don't have these symptoms. I do not like to have lots of meds as the answer but something that works for me without the bad side effects (ones that I already have) and without high costs. I am praying for change and right solutions. I thank everyone for their help in this quest for good health.

Verified patient
Jul 2023I drive 100 miles to see this office because they are so trusted.
Verified patient
Jul 2023Felt provider was in a hurry and not really attentive to me. Would have liked to have been asked "what if any were my concerns? " by the provider. Before leaving the room would have liked the provider to ask questions of me like,"Do you have any more questions?" "Have I answered your questions sufficiently?" Would have liked her to wait until I had placed my hearing aides back in before talking to me. (Had to take them out for exam). I have confidence in this provider and think the care I am getting is good, just felt a little impersonal in the exam.

Verified patient
May 2023Dr. Spiers is a caring and knowledgeable physician. I have complete trust in her. I have been her patient for about 7 years and have found her to be competent in her diagnoses through my years as her patient. When she discovered liver damage in my lab work last Friday, she had her nurse to schedule an appointment to see me on Monday. She explained to me how serious my problem is and began ordering a series of tests to determine the best plan of treatment. I have complete confidence as we go through the next phase of the best help I can get.
