    I didn't appreciate having to come in to pay a $50 co-pay just to get my test results back from my MRI. I felt that we could have did that over the phone. It was a waste of my time. I run a business. I had to move my business all around just to come. I'm appreciative, but I felt like I waste $50.

And so, I don't know if that could be improved upon or not, because they really are good, and all of them feel sweet, and I just love coming over there, and I wouldn't trade them for a dollar bill. But anyway, y'all have a good evening, and God bless you. Bye.

    Dr. Spearman is an excellent physician. While my appointment was classified as a "10-minute" visit (probably due to the darn insurance company rules), Dr. Spearman clearly was more interested in my knee issues and making sure that I was completely informed than he was in watching the clock. I appreciate that!! He came into the room with a model of the knee and showed me via the MRI pictures and model exactly what is happening in my knee. He further explained, in understandable language, every possible treatment option, and when I asked him, "If I was your mother, what would you advise me to do?" he responded with one of the least invasive options. It turned out to be a great call, as my knee is feeling much better!

    If a young patient has a support person with them during a visit, there is a reason. Create an atmosphere of inclusion. Provide pertinent (printed or digital) literature to patients to aid in decision-making and for their understanding. "After visit" information would mitigate the avalanche of information provided during the brief visit.

    I made my appointment online and the support person cancelled it without communicating with me first to find out more about my need for the appointment. I had scheduled at the time that worked best for me. After I messaged her more details on why I made the appt with Dr. Spearman, she spoke with the nurse and the nurse said to let me keep the appt. She then rescheduled it but at a different time that was less convenient. My suggestion is for the support person to reach out to the patient before just cancelling an appt. I had my reason, as I had already communicated with Dr. Spearman, and the support person should get more information from the patient before just cancelling the appt. Thanks!
