5.0 star star star star starVery polite, explained everything slowly. Asked me if I had questions, took his time with and didn't rush for surgery as the doctor. Dr Spencer was my second opinion doctor. I'm glad I came to see him.

5.0 star star star star starDr Spencer is absolutely amazing. Takes his time with you and answers all your questions, giving time for you to ask and does not rush you. My surgery also went great and the outcome was better than I expected!

5.0 star star star star starI'd give a 10, there was absolutely nothing wrong with the visit. The dr was very professional, courteous and insightful. But I don't believe it's fair for you to ask me for a recommendation off of one visit/ consultation.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Drew Spencer. Not only is he professional I have always felt that I was the only patient in his care. He has always taken the time to answer all my questions sometimes being silly. His office always called checked up on me.

Disclosures

External Professional Relationships
Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care. These relationships are important in achieving scientific breakthroughs and in establishing the effectiveness and safety of promising new therapies. In order to assure objectivity in clinical research and patient care, the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Feinberg), Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab have adopted integrity policies that require research and clinical faculty (in full-time, part-time, and unpaid/voluntary categories) to report compensated and uncompensated external industry relationships. Patients are encouraged to discuss these disclosures with their physician as well as to inquire as to how these relationships are overseen by Feinberg.
