Dr. Speach is wonderful. He has kept me out of an OR!
May 12, 2022
I was pleasantly surprised when the Dr went through some testing and asking me a lot of questions right then and there in the room. Then he ordered an xray that I was taken to get right away! I thought for sure I would be waiting a week or two. Then he went over the images right away too! I am very happy that Dr. Speach handles his patient's concerns with the same level of urgency that they feel it deserves and all without having to fight for it. He wants to.
