I have nothing but good things to say about dr. spiker, very down to earth, caring, sympathetic with my pain and willing to get answers to me and my family, he even made sure my kids felt comfortable in being in the room with us, he shows a sincere kindness to his patients, and there's nothing I appreciate more than having a brilliant surgeon that still has his human side. I am forever grateful with him, he was the first surgeon that, even tho, he was honest with me about possible side effects from surgery, gave me hope about getting better, and 6 weeks post op, my life has improved drastically, and keeps getting better. I prayed to God for years to put me in the hands of an amazing doctor that would fix my back, and I can honestly say, he did.
