Dr. Spivey is incredible at sharing information so that you understand and are comfortable making informed treatment choices. She's incredibly thorough, clearly knows her field, and doesn't rush through your visit to run to the next patient. After my lumpectomy, the pain was so minimal that I only took Tylenol twice. I am convinced that her surgical skills, planning and careful treatment plan played a large role in achieving such phenomenal results. She's a hidden 💎 that won't remain hidden very long!
