Dr.Spires is the best doctor. I have had such a positive experience pregnant and delivering my daughter with him. He listens to concerns, provides positive solutions, peace of mind and has a warm and caring approach. Dr. Spires always made me feel confident about decisions concerning my pregnancy and birth plan. That was very important to me having conceived through IVF and having had a previous loss. I am so grateful to have him as my physician and love that he was able to deliver our beautiful daughter via c-section.

Dr. Spires is AMAZING! This was my 4th c-section (1-3 we're from different doctors in various states). I had complications with C-section #3 so I anticipated some complications with #4. To my delight, C-section #4 went without a hitch. Dr. Spires great surgical skill, for certain, aided in my speedy recovery. Dr. Spires is pleasantly professional and equally personable. He showed concern for my concerns and had solutions to everything. I healed beautifully and had minimal bleeding post surgery. Thank you, Dr. Spires, for putting my and my family's worries at ease. I wish the world had more doctors like you. Riverside is lucky to have you!

★★★★★

Mar 15, 2019

only hesitation would be due to the cleanliness of exam room. I did not say anything to the staff because I do not think it pertains to the great care that the DR. Spires and nursing staff provided. I did notice while waiting in my exam room (9) that the trash receptical cover and step to operate the lid were dirty/dingy and my exam room table had a stain on the pillowcase that was obviously before my appointment. I would not hesitate to recommend the practice for the staff and good care but I believe some may be put off by the lack of good housekeeping.
