Bradley L. Spitz's Online Review Report Card

At first he seemed nice and caring. Then he asked if I had gotten vaccinated against covid 19. When I told him no and my reasons why (one of them being a recommendation by my general doctor) he completely changed his demeanor towards me and seemed to be annoyed for the rest of the session. Not a good fit for me.

Be alert and so cautious if you get this callous arrogant doctor. I would never want Dr. Spitz to be my doctor or specialist, especially in an emergency. This man has no sympathy and is not fulfilling the responsibility in doing his best to serve and to preserve life! Dr. Spitz, is horribly unethical and a careless individual with no empathy. He showed that he had no desire or interest to help a human being at Scrippts ICU. He was bothered about the calls & questions and never considered any additional treatment or options that other doctors around the world and in the vicinity of Orange County are using those that the family begged for and requested, during a life & death situation! Dr. Spitz reflected is an evil person with no respect or dignity towards the patient or the agonizing family. Over the telephone you could hear his bothered tone, as he moaned and exhaled in disrespectful discontent. Dr. Spitz, reflects lack of goodwill or commitment to do the work he promised to do as a doctor. I honestly believe that maybe only if a patient is personally known by him, looks like him or has the same size bank account & associations... only then will Dr. Spitz, give real time, interest, intelligence and true effort into helping a patient, or on a dying patient in a urgent situation. Horribly sad and true!

After getting rid of Spitz,i found out what real Pulmonologists do. The minute you walk in the door ,you should walk out

Had a pulmonary embolism that was causing chest pain. He did zero pulmonary testing--ordered a redundant chest xray ( I had just had one 2 days before and he knew that) and instead of listening to me or looking at all the info--decided to zero in on one detail of how the pain came about and voted that I had a cracked rib. Which I did not. It was amazing, really, how completely detached he was from the whole process.

His bedside manner is horrible. And the way he talks to patients family is disgusting. He really should work on how he deals with people and learn to be. Ore compassionate. He is a very arrogant man.

We had the pleasure of having Dr Spitz care for our mother in Scripps mercy Hospital. He was very kind, patient, and caring towards mom. He basically saved her life, and remained humble. Very excellent provider, we were lucky to have him care for mom, I am pretty sure that she would not be here if it were not for Dr Spitz.

only negative is that they have now called me twice to reschedule my follow-up appts so its going to be 4 months since my last visit

He is a good MD, patient, explains things, and caring. I even ran into him in the halls of the hospital and he asked how I was doing.

Physician saved my life.

The ladies at the reception are terribly rude, and the big nurse in the back who doesnt seem to do anything except gossip or talk about herself is very unhelpful, the male nurse was helpful but doesnt seem happy, and I figured that out as soon as the doctor came in, he seem like a very cocky self absorbed type character,just so self righteous. I was explaining my symptoms and he just doodled in the chart, he gave me a breathing test and came back in the room and said all these big words which I tried to ask him about but when he had to answer he seemed annoyed that I would even be asking. Ah, isn't this your job jerk. PATIENT CARE. He gave me a prescription for an inhaler and told me to come back in 2 weeks. I don't think so.
