Joseph P. Springle, M.D. 6350 Central Avenue, St. Petersburg, FL 33707

"I have been to Dr. Springle for two annual physicals. He was thorough and listened. He did not push pills, and is in good shape himself, so he practices what he preaches. We've had to call twice on the weekends for a paxlovid prescription for Covid and Dr. Springle and the office staff were very responsive. Unfortunately they no longer take our insurance and that is the only reason we are changing doctors."

"This practice has lost their human touch. They used to be compassionate but they don't care as much anymore. My grandmother was a patient for over 20 years, probably longer. But when she was in her final days, Dr. Springle didn't even want to talk to me or her. Really just so disappointed after so long as a patient."

"I have been a patient of Dr. Springle for over 30 years. I can’t even get an appointment with him anymore. When my husband has had labs this past year, the only way he even knows that Dr. Springle is starting a new medication is by a call from our pharmacy. NO FOLLOW THROUGH BY A NURSE IN THE OFFICE WHATSOEVER!!!! This has happened THREE times IN THE PAST 8 months! I’m very sick right now with bronchitis and can’t even get in. Receiving care through an urgent care clinic because I can’t get an appointment with my doctor that knows me. It’s pathetic what’s happened! Glad he can sleep at night while his clients are suffering . I’m completely disgusted! I would absolutely not recommend his services to anyone! Better off treating yourself!!!"

"Hard to say if Springle is good because if you go to this office you won’t see him, you’ll be treated by a nurse practitioner. We joke that when he saw my mom one time he said “so great to see you!” and she had never met him before, (she had been going to the office for FOUR YEARS!) My mom currently has stage 4 cancer, and it’s a reoccurrence from the same cancer she had 2 years ago. She has been drastically losing weight for over a year. His (by his, I mean whatever nurse saw her) response during multiple office visits the last year? Drink more ensures. She’s now on treatment thanks to an ER visit, but this could have been prevented if she had proper care. If you care about your loved ones I would send them anywhere else but here."

"Dr Springle is great but the office has been terrible since the association with WellMed. I was a patient for over 25 years and told I had to reestablish as a new patient and wait over 6 months for a visit because I hadn’t been in recently enough, and that was only because it had gotten impossible to get in within a reasonable amount of time and referred to urgent care every time I called about an issue. I wish I could still see Dr. Springle because he is wonderful but the office negates his good care."
