A Note from Dr. Spencer
My practice strives to provide the highest quality and most compassionate patient-centered orthopaedic care. This begins by carefully listening to my patients as they describe the details of their particular ailments and understanding how these issues interfere with and limit their quality of life.
Patient education is an important aspect of my practice philosophy. Medicine has become increasingly specialized and treatment options can often be very complex with the advent of more novel treatment options. In my experience, an informed patient who is well educated regarding their particular diagnosis is much more engaged and empowered throughout their treatment process and this ultimately improves their treatment outcome.
I employ a team approach to managing my patients. I feel that a team approach better serves the needs of my patients.

If you have had previous imaging (x-rays, MRI, CT scan, etc.) PLEASE make sure to bring a DISC WITH THE IMAGES (not just a sheet of paper explaining what was on the images) with you to your first appointment. Without these images, we may not be able to diagnose or treat your specific pathology. A copy of your disc can be picked up from the facility where you had your imaging test performed. Most diagnostic centers CANNOT electronically send records to our database, so you may have to insist that you leave with the disc. Dr. Spencer MUST be able to see these images before proceeding with any kind of treatment.

Dr. Spencer was fabulous last year at treating a very sore upper right arm that I hurt from a tree limb falling, so he’s the ortho man!
Dr. Spencer was fabulous last year at treating a very sore upper right arm that I hurt from a tree limb falling, so I appreciate his skill and expertise in arm injuries.
Dr. Spenser treated my upper arm a year ago from an injury when it got hit by a large limb that we were cutting down. He was very conscientious and considerate in my treatment.
