Personally I thought that Spivak was great UNTIL my insurance declined coverage. They basically showed me the door and told me good luck. This was after they pledged to fight the might insurance companies during their info session that they want you to attend. I found the office staff rude when I asked for their help to build a case to my insurance company. I actually went to Dr. St. Laurent and he was my choice. My insurance would cover it this time, but he was not on our particular plan. He referred me to Dr. Bradley Waggoner. Dr. Waggoner was very good and his office did a lot of legwork on my behalf to make sure that the insurance had everything they needed to get my surgery approved. They have handled everything along the way with excellence.
