What people have to say about this practice
Via Healthgrades
I found Dr Speakman to be communicative, caring, skilled in his field, and I would highly recommend him. He was thorough in his explanation of my condition and how the surgery would be done.

Dr. Speakman was pleasant and helpful in explaining my condition, how surgery could resolve the problem and in explaining risks. I felt comfortable and confident with his expertise. During my post-op visit, he took his time to review my status and explain how the healing was progressing. Hope I don't need future surgeries of any kind, but I'll certainly go to Dr. Speakman if I do.

When I was a patient in the hospital, my first nurse said; "I would trust my life to Dr. Speakman but I don't want to tell him because I don't want his head to swell too much. I hope Dr. Speakman's head does swell, he is honest, straightforward and technically, a fantastic surgeon. I know because I am a surgeon.
