The doctor was very informative and made everything clear for me to make a choice. I opted for one more set of pain shots before we try Surgery. He was concise and said he saw my point and suggest i try that first. Then we could move to surgery if needed. I plan to get surgery in the fall of 2025.

The staff was great from the pre surgery call to the day of my surgery. They were professional and even knew a few jokes to keep me at ease. My laminectomy procedure was from the L2-L4, the procedure went well and Dr. Speciale and staff were there before and after the procedure to answer any questions or concerns. Be prepared to ask questions and follow the staffs direction for icing and meds. I did have discomfort, but it is starting to subside with time and that should be expected. You are in great hands with the team.

Dr. Speciale was my husband surgeon for his lumbar fusion. Everything turn out to be a success.

I scheduled an appointment a few months ago, I was told Dr Speciale would be out of town on the date of my original appointment a few weeks ago and I needed to reschedule. I have made 3 calls over a period of 3 weeks to the "Orthopedic Care Coordinator" and never got a call back. I have decided to find another physician for my back problem. He may be an excellent physician, but the office staff leaves a lot to be desired. I am a Family Practice Physician who had referred many patients to Dr. Speciale. I feel it is insulting ... read more

Dr Speciale operated on my lumbar spine in the midst of the pandemic when only emergency surgery was allowed. My condition quickly deteriorated and he was able to advocate for me me and was permitted to perform emergency lumbar discectomy and remove a ruptured cyst from my spine. He was compassionate and an expert in his field. No complications, easy recovery and I did not need much pain medication following procedure. I would highly recommend him and if I have another problem he will be my first choice. I had only met him o... read more

Two virtual visits, the first he was 3 hours, 38minutes late and called when I was getting ready for work and unavailable. Setup another appointment a week later this time after work and 3 hours, 15 minutes later he still hasn't responded. This doctor needs to be more professional and communicate with his staff to schedule correctly and communicate with patients when the schedule is broken.

I would like to leave a positive review and I’m sure he is a great doctor but his office staff are not so great. I waited for over a month to get a first appointment and never received a reminder call so I called this morning and was told I don’t have an appointment, what the heck. I give up and will go somewhere else for care!! Sorry Dr. Speciale but you need to do something about your staff.

Dr. Speciale is an excellent doctor and surgeon. He has taken care of my mom for years and our entire family has been impressed by his bedside manner, compassion, and knowledge base. He is always available when we have questions and we trust him implicitly. We would highly recommend Dr. Speciale to anyone suffering from back pain.

He has been my surgeon for many years. He’s kind and compassionate and I’m so thankful he is my surgeon. He actually listens and wants what’s best for his patients.
