Dr. Spann seems to be a fairly good surgeon but he doesn't always have his patients best interest in mind. He will try to sell whatever surgery he can, disregarding what is healthy for his patients. If there is an emergency, or you develop an infection at a time that's not convenient for him-you are out of luck. I would not recommend Dr. Spann to anyone. More
Overall, Dr. Spann is very personable and attentive. She did attempt to let her nurse choose an infected area (across half an appendage) to prep for bioposy; he tried to go for the most visible, central point, which felt wrong, and I had to insist that Dr. Spann be brought back in... she naturally understood and took the sample from a more suitable location. Like all the doctors that I've seen at LV Skin & Cancer - I've seen several, including the PA, in the last few years), she will ALWAYS find a reason to prescribe a med (topical or internal) that my pharmacist calls a "scam racket": a conventional med with one superfluous component - which could be taken separately in generic - marketed as a specialty to charge the insurance hundreds for what should be $10, until the insurance cuts it off after two months, and the Dr. relents and prescribes the generic. Perhaps not the Dr.'s fault - probably a corporate practice policy. More
