Patient Reviews
Jun 17, 2021
I have been a patient of Dr. Spitzer’s for many years. I like the doctor, but I don’t like the fact that I have to wait so long to see him. I’m not the only one with this complaint. However, the optician Stacey, is very good. She’s always been willing to help me with my glasses-she is friendly and seems to enjoy helping select frames and styles that will look good.
