    Dr. Spalding is one of the best physicians I have ever had at any medical facility anywhere. He is very kind, very thorough, and very understanding. He listens to me and gives me answers. I had to wait a little longer this time, but I didn't mind the wait. I always look forward to my visits with Dr. Spalding because he Is not only the things I just described, but he also can be fun and witty, which takes the edge off visiting a doctor.
