Suggestion: Advise patients (open hernia surgery) that the pain medication may will cause constipation and that is the reason for the recommendation stool softener (some patients are not aware of the pain medication).
SHC Patient, Jan 2015
Being pregnant and having an epigastric hernia I didn't have any professional diagnostic from this provider even after I told him I had and ultrasound (that says I have a hernia)
SHC Patient, Dec 2014
Dr. Spain, his assistants, all of his staff have been respectful, quick in getting me to the exam room, where Dr. Spain is specific, and kind in my follow-up care. Everyone in this office is very professional, while they show their courtesy.
SHC Patient, Dec 2014
Dr. Spain is excellent and I truly appreciate his expertise & skill.
SHC Patient, Oct 2014
I had emergency surgery 400 miles from home this visit was a hand-off from one surgeon to the other. Dr. Spain was completely informed & ready for me.
SHC Patient, Sep 2014
I'm very optimistic about my upcoming surgery.
SHC Patient, Sep 2014
He is either RUDE, arrogant or a great combo of both. I didn't follow through with him operating. I would never let him cut me open!
SHC Patient, Jun 2014
Good.
SHC Patient, Feb 2014

SHC Patient, Jan 2014
He seemed a bit cavalier or aloof but obviously competent.
