I went to Dr. Paltzik for many years until he retired. Dr Spitz, who practiced in that office, moved to ProHealth and I transferred to him. I have almost never seen the doctor. I always have to see the PA. I have chronic issues and have had skin cancer. The wait times are long, but if I could actually see the doctor, it might be worth it.

Dr. Spitz is an amazing doctor if only he could keep your scheduled appointment. 80% of the time they call and cancel and then it's another 6 months to reschedule only to be cancelled again. And he is only in the office mornings. Rude admin staff.

My appointment was at 12:15 pm (not even with the Doctor but with a PA). I walked out at 1 PM. I did not see a PA or a doctor. Very POOR customer service. Would not recommend this practice to anyone.

The worst office staff. Rude and don’t follow appt. Found a new Md who shows respect for the patients time.

Dr. Spitz is an excellent doctor, with a great "beside manner" and a very caring fellow But.......I will never go back. Along with the other reviews, i have waited a long time in his old waiting room, without any explanation. Today I went during Covid. Every other doctor I've seen since Covid thinned out their schedules so patients waited less time. This is a safety procedure. Not in Dr. Spitz's office today. I arrived on time and was told to leave and return in a half hour. Which I did. And returned. Then I was told to come... read more

Dr. Spitz is such a wonderful doctor! The wait can be discouraging however worth it in my opinion. Linda has also been wonderful in helping to have a prior authorization approved. Even Dr. Spitz offered to call the insurance company on my behalf! Expect a bit of a wait, bring a book to read in the meantime, and rest in the assurance you will get great care.

I have been to Dr. Spitz multiple times, and as a doctor he is great, but his office staff and the way they schedule is horrible. Appointment times do not matter, they are rude and not helpful at all. They schedule patients back to back with no consideration that you sit there and wait. I had a 8 am appointment and was still waiting in the waiting room at 9:00 am and a gentleman with an 8:15 was taken before me, Unless you have no other plans for the day then definitely make an appointment but for people who have schedules a... read more

Had an appt that I made several weeks ago, got there about 10 minutes early and the waiting room was standing room only and there were patients waiting in the hallway outside the office. I finally got to the check in desk, asked how long the wait would be and was told that they didn’t know but that it would be quite awhile. I walked out and will be finding another Dr.

When I first saw Dr. Spitz, I waited over an hour to be seen. However, when I finally did see him, he was nice and I had a pleasant experience. The next time I went, I made an appt for my two year old and called 45 mins before my appt to see if there was a wait. I was told no. I got there to a sea of angry people waiting saying they had been there for an hour. We had a 3:45 appointment. At 5:30 I walked out and asked for my copay back. The office staff seemed unphased like it happens every day.
