  I was a patient of Dr. Spenser's many years ago 2012ish while I was AD at Fort Hood for at least a year maybe more… I am in process of requesting records from him and thought I'd share a review as I see more negative reviews than positive and TBH it sort of pi$ed me off because Dr. S is probably one of the better providers I’ve seen in my life. Plus, it’s reviews typically from those who want the experience of a Lexus while paying the cost of riding a bus…. Plus, many of the reviews are not fair and balanced and based solely on the reviewers’ personal needs and not the professionalism and treatment of a provider. Back when I saw Dr. S I think it was $60 a visit which compared to the $160 other PCM billed, was much cheaper. If you are in the USA, it’s standard, especially as a new patient, to see a provider every time you need a refill… Providers are not medication dispensaries. To expect or demand a provider to take the time, for free, to call in your RX to save you money is selfish, inconsiderate, and a little narcissistic. I am not sure about other countries, but in the US, healthcare is not free. The only time providers write RX for 90 days at a time, is for established patients whose care is managed, but no provider is going to see a patient once or twice and then keep writing refills? Providers are a service, just like salons, auto repair etc. who offer a service. Nobody would ever expect a stylist to color their hair for free, or give them a free trim, yet we expect providers to work for free? I started seeing Dr. S after having pain issues in my back that was not generalized to on specific area or caused by an injury. I saw providers at Ft. Hood who made me feel like a guinea pig of random testing or put me on a profile or some other medical flag…I started seeing Dr. S so I could treat the issues and not raise any red flags to jeopardize anything with the military…I have seen a lot of providers over the years and found Dr. Spenser to be a no nonsense straight to the point provider...IMO He didn't sugarcoat things or waste my time with unnecessary treatments. Back then Dr. S I'm not sure took my insurance so I paid the $60 cash price, which was less than the average cost of $150. IDK what the cost is today that he charges but the average cost is $175 so anything less is below the US minimum standard. My favorite aspect that I respected the most was, Dr. S no nonsense, no frills, straight to the point care. Dr. S, like every other doctor in the world, may or may not be the best fit for your medical need and only you can determine that…I think Dr. S is a valuable resource to those who may have routine health issues with limited income who needs general care but not all the extras involved. But if you have trouble breathing and smoke two packs a day, Dr. S is going to tell you to quit smoking. If you have high cholesterol or are overweight, he’s probably going to tell you the problem is your diet…Dr. S at least when I was seeing him, was not suited for someone who wanted a provider with high tech facilities, 10 person front desk to expedite paperwork needs or doctor who will write a myriad of medications over telling you that giving up your four double whoppers at lunch will solve a lot of your problems…Providers are not a one size fits all approach, it’s about balancing needs and expectations against the services offered by the provider. But posting a negative review over standard medical treatment is unfair and superfluous. Sadly, Google can only understand starts and doesn’t decipher accurate reviews against unrealistic expectations of those with a bus fare budget but expecting a Lexus. In the end both get you from point A to Point B.

  I went in on 3/24/21 and paid $300 cash for all these test that I didn't need. My reason for the visit was my blood pressure. All test were negative except some breath test. 2 days later the Dr wants $80 to discuss my results, I refused to pay and wanted to leave because I paid for test I shouldn't have to pay for my results. He then writes me a cocktail of scripts that I pay out of pocket for including a 2 month supply of blood pressure meds but will not refill my blood pressure meds because I can't afford to come back to him. I've been without the meds he claims I need to keep my blood pressure under control since may 24th. This is not right or fair and I'm seeking legal counsel

  Dr Spencer is wonderful. I have been to see him about 4 times. Great man. His office staff is totally different. I'm here with my son today and Carmen is rude. I was just listening to her talk. She does not greet people at all. My son thought she was busy so he was waiting on her to speak. She said are you going to say something or not. I have been in customer service for 30 years and I have never been that rude.

  They are not accepting new patients. There's no way of knowing this without calling.
