"I love how Dr.Splenser spends time with his patients. He’s really a caring doctor. Having diabetes is stressful enough!! He goes out of his way to make the patients feel as comfortable as they can having the disease. When you enter the office; his staff is amazing. They are warm and welcoming. Maybe he could give seminars on how doctors are supposed to treat patients with a lot of empathy. Thank you Dr. Splenser??"

"I am a current patient of Dr. Splenser. Excellent doctor - worst office staff I have ever encountered. 1) Phone records show than I have phoned more than 40 times and not once was the phone answered. (I needed the paperwork for Quest). Ended up driving there (with printed phone records in my hand) and standing in front of the counter, called the office again. I observe 1st hand the phone ringing and NOBODY even looks in the phone's direction or attempt to answer. 2) On previous occasion, the office did not credit my co-pay and was sending me numerous letters. Yet again: I had to drive over there. 3) Note: If unable to attend an appointment, there is no way to call the office to re-schedule. 4) The office staff communicating via "Klara" has a limited vocabulary in English and see themselves as the doorway to your treatment. This has led to some panic as they advise of "problems" and you cannot figure out if you are talking to your doctor or some admin. I made the appointment, ...
attended and this was admin's doing. "
