From all I've heard and my own experience with him, Dr. Speakman is an excellent surgeon, but not so good at listening and talking to patients.
Yes, he is arrogant, dismissive of what the patient has to say, etc. I also spent my career as an RN. I've seen the best and the worst. Dr. Speakman is neither, but certainly not the best. He took no notes about important things we discussed, then forgot them, resulting in mistakes that severely hurt my recovery. Then laughed it off saying if he took notes, he'd just forget his notes. Ha ha. Even if you want an arrogant comic for a surgeon, I'd not recommend him, he's not that funny.
I am a RN. I also work at DRMC. I am particular about who I let touch my family or me. Dr. Speakman saw me in the emergency room after I came in with severe chest pain. He performed gall bladder surgery with in 1.5 hours. I left the hospital that day! Some people may like for a doctor to sugar coat issues. I prefer someone to be straight up with me. Dr. Speakman was exactly that! I am very impressed with Dr. Speakman and would feel comfortable sending my friends & family to him. Kudos Doc!
After unknown diagnosis by many doctors, Dr. Speakman knew exactly what was causing my abdominal pain and scheduled laparoscopic surgery to correct the internal hernia. Dr. Speakman was very friendly and always had my best interest in mind. He always explained everything in easy to understand terms. Thank you Dr. Speakman.
I would NEVER refer a family member or friend to Dr. Speakman. He was cold, rude and arrogant, as if his opinions were all that mattered. He didn't want to listen to what I needed as a patient. He did not care about my medical emergency. I am shocked that anyone would see him more than once!
My mom went to see Dr Speak man. We were referred there by 3 doctors for immediate gallbladder surgery. Dr Speakman refused to take out my moms gallbladder because AND I QUOTE "I DONT WANT PEOPLE TO THINK BADLY OF ME FOR TAKING OUT GOOD GALLBLADDERS". Now, we have 3 doctors and countless tests that say it needs to go. Whoever gave this man a medical degree was an idiot. I hope people read this and think badly of him from now on.
Spoke with Dr. Speakman on having surgery, I found him to be extremely arrogant , thinking he knows best of how you should be with out knowing anything else that is going on with you. I will not use this doctor, specially ones that think they know more than god.
