Robert N Spady's Online Review Report Card

I went to this doctor for a year and a half, I found him to be lazy I was never happy with his work, lazy, did not read the lab reports, I had to ask him to read it, one time he picked up a portfolio, started reading it, I saw the name of the patient on the Folio, HE WAS READING A WOMAN"S FOLIO. He had a partner at that time, that doctor semi retired and went into research.

Left this Doctor, He was fair at best, most of the patients went to his partner after trying him. (Unfortunately, he was not taking anymore patients, friends at work had recommended him! ) HE ORDERED LAB WORK, AND THEN SAID EVERYTHING WAS FINE. I read the lab results from PRL labs in Lewiston (located in the Major hospital in the region), This doctor missed several results from the lab that waved a red flag. I had to point out to him what he missed. Went to anther doctor that caught them and took action, a life saving move.

good

Doctor Spady has been my doctor for several years. I find him to be curious and analytical in his approach to medicine. These are qualities that are important to me. I am not sure how I was identified as Stacy ... I am Shirley Ringo.

Vitals is perfect but i recommend you check out this as well schummpharmacy.org

Terrible receptionist on the phone when not take appointment and tried to act like she was the doctor. I was referred by another doctor for a prescription. She went on and on about medical records that I was willing to provide. Very unprofessional.

New patient. Made an appointment for an annual physical and a couple of other issues. Dr. Spady comes into the room with another person, explains it is a medical student and requests my permission for him to sit in, which I grant. We go through the "physical", which he didn't properly and completely perform; I think the only thing he did was listen to my heart on the stethoscope. He provided no guidance as to what was being done or why. After some small talk and dancing his pointer fingers around the keyboard for about 7 minutes (most of the time; no clue what he was doing) he gets up and starts walking out of the room. I'm confused and apparently he is "done", though he didn't provide any verbal guidance or cues (e.g. "Well, everything looks good, etc"). I say, "Well, there are a couple of other things I'd like to discuss if possible." And he says, "Oh oh, okay, sorry about that", as he comes back into the room. After discussing some other issues, I realize Dr. Robert Spady hasn't won any awards for attentiveness. His back is to me the entire time and most of the time he's typing away on his keyboard into his terminal. Understanding I'm going to have to get real specific and assertive with my own medical care, I requested that we do a full blood work and analysis, including cholesterol and a few other standard screens. He informs me that because I hadn't fasted I'll have to come back for the cholesterol. I say, "No problem, lets the do the remainder today and I'll come back for the cholesterol". He agrees. We part ways, I'm actually done at this point, though he seems to be rushing to get to his next patient. I'm not feeling very confident. I go to the receptionist to "checkout". I discover that she is not aware of the blood work that is supposed to be drawn that day. For some reason, I couldn't get the blood taken right then and their and had to make an "appointment" to get my blood drawn. Never in my life has that happened. Okay, so I make an appointment and basically realize this appointment was pretty much a waste of my time but I decide to stay on the horse, crossing my fingers. I had also received a referral to the Urologist across the hall. When I ask her about the referral, she says, "Well, I can write something up for you or you can just walk over to their office right now". She obviously wasn't in the mood to do her job, so I agree to walk over directly and make my appointment. Once in the Urologists office, I explain the referral and she states that she needs a "referral form" from Dr. Spady's office before she can even make an appointment. I'm scratching my head and state, "Surely his receptionist didn't just send me over blindly knowing that was required." I walk back over to Dr. Spady's office to inform the receptionist of the prerequisite necessary to make my appointment. Again, clearly not in the mood she states, "Well, I won't be able to give you that form until at least this afternoon". No one else was in the office. Again, I'm wondering if I'm in the twilight zone at this point. The next morning I go back to get my actual blood drawn, which goes without a hitch. Two weeks later I still haven't received a phone call with my results, nor a letter in the mail, nothing. I call to ask about the results of the blood work, and I find that most of what I requested was not even performed and that I would have to come in yet again to have blood drawn. They also stated they have no intention of proactively informing the patient of any test results. Good to know. So I go in again, they take my blood and after a week I have to give them a call to request my result be mailed. Morning of my Urology referral appointment, I call to ask if Dr. Spady's office sent my medical records. They did not. Furthermore she state on the phone that my condition isn't even treated by a Urologist. Appt canceled. Thanks Dr. Spady. At this point I'm not very surprised and realize how much time I've wasted with a seemingly incompetent physician, Dr. Spady and Total Health Physician Group. Avoid like the plague.
