Lauren Spoo, MD

"Dr. Spoo demanded my last review from my business account be taken down on the grounds that she did something nice for my fiance when she was a teenager or else my 7+ month pregnant fiance will have to find another dr. I respect that, but one good thing in the past does not justify her practices. After my last review instead of attempting to alleviate the concerns, pick up the phone and apologize for her actions that caused her review Dr. Spoo went into instant protection mode. In my last review we explained how we had an issue with her billing department and our insurance which caused us to have to miss an appointment. Dr. Spoo called after that appointment was missed and she did not attempt to fix the billing issues or alleviate the concerns with the insurance. She instead called to inform my fiance that missing an appointment looks bad on Dr. Spoo and that she will need to find someone else to treat her because it will hurt Dr. Spoo's reputation. She then proceeded to insinuate that the missed appointment was the result of other things, that are not true one bit. Long story short, we set the appointment with our practitioner and I reviewed our experience with Dr. Spoo. Now remember this appointment was already missed once, and according to Dr. Spoo on the phone missing and rescheduling appointments can lead to bad things & if that happens it looks bad on her. So you would never think, ya know because she just told us how bad it was to miss an appointment (despite it being caused by fraudulent billing practices) that Dr. Spoo would call and push it back an additional week, right? Well she did, under the guise that "she wanted to personally check in since we missed the last one" That was not the case at all. Our appointment (that could not be delayed because terrible things would happen) was pushed back. Not to check in personally, or show any compassion whatsoever, but to corner her patient with printed copies of the review and despite being 7 months pregnant begin to tell her she needs to see another dr if she won't delete the review. She leveraged a kind deed she did when my fiance was a teenager to force her to take down the review or find a new dr 7 months pregnant. My fiance has a big heart, and agreed to take down the review. Me on the other hand, I'm not her patient and I did not agree to take down the review. I am not an angry customer, a liar or any other thing Dr. Spoo will attempt to portray this review a result of. I am a lymphoma survivor, I have been around AMAZING dr's I owe my life too. Good, honest, patient first people who would never lie to make an extra buck or deny a patients care because their feelings got hurt. I do not write negative reviews, I work as a consultant assisting people in achieving their dreams. The last thing I want to do is tear down a business someone has worked to build, however Dr. Spoo's actions have proven her to be a very selfish individual who is willing to put my child's health at risk because her office made mistakes and I questioned her shady practices. Remember everyone, it is dangerous to miss appointments or be without care late in your pregnancy. That is unless your dr is Dr. Spoo, then it is only dangerous until you question their shady tactics. Then it turns into delaying appointments so she can sit there and say "if you don't like it then leave"... She is 7.5 months pregant, she is 22 years old. Dr. Spoo your an adult. You messed up, your a professional. In that instance you apologize, not tell a 7.5 month girl to go find someone else or delete their review."

"My fiancé is pregnant, her insurance lapsed and there is about a 1 month period where we are stuck without coverage. We have had 2 appointments missed during this time. We stated our willingness to self pay, Dr. Spoo?s nurse informed us they charge $500 for a checkup without insurance. Which is absolutely ridiculous, our insurance has had to pay less than $250 pre visit. Despite the obnoxious price, we agreed and then Dr. Spoo?s nurse informed us we would also be charged for all the past visits that were covered by insurance, because the insurance lapsed during the pregnancy. We were informed the only way to avoid that payment was to get new insurance. We informed the Drs office it would take time to receive the card due to the problems with USPS (a national news story with 4-6 month delivery delays) Dr. Spoo then contacted us & informed us that if we do not come in and pay the full amount to see her it will look bad on her practice so we need to find a new dr. That is extremely selfish and greedy on her behalf. - Edit Fiance finally got billing settled, got her appointment. Spoo cancelled it last second, and pushed it back a week so she could corner her with printouts of these reviews. She then told a 7 month pregnant woman to go find a new dr if that is how she felt about her. 7 months people. She could pop any day and instead of apologizing, she threatened the care of my fiance and my child because of her pride. She was not willing to continue care until this review was deleted or edited. Well here is my edit...."

"I tried to switch providers due to my current one if forcing me for a C section because she is scared of delivering big babies. This doc didn’t accept me after reviewing my MR because she trained my previous Doc and were in the same recidency and they probably have the same delivery method for me! Just horrible how can doctors stress a 35 week pregnant women! She is already in stress for the delivery and all the 3rd trimester symptoms! All they care is getting easy money! Lets cut her up and have baby out in minutes! They don’t care about the patient im absolute"

"Dr. Spoo and her team are excellent! I had a rough beginning to my first trimester and was so lost and confused. When I found Dr. Spoo she gave me not only exceptional care, but clear and compassionate answers. She has a calm demeanor that put me at ease, helped me throughout my pregnancy and always there to answer questions. She delivered my happy and healthy baby girl and is truly the best OBGYN I have ever had. Her team is amazing as well, and Miss Patricia is so kind, caring, and knowledgeable, I always love seeing her. Front desk always gets me in, and calls back, which is huge for me. Great doctor, great office, highly recommend!"

"Dr. Spoo is an absolute gem. Her knowledge and experience is evident in every interaction. She listens attentively to my concerns, addressing each one with great care and respect. She patiently explains every step of the process, ensuring I fully understand the diagnosis, treatment options, and any potential risks involved. Her bedside manner is exceptional, making me feel supported and genuinely cared for. I’m happy she will be delivering my baby #2 as well!"
