Mr Spalding is an absolute magician. I’m sure he doesn’t fully realise what he does for people. He sees how bad people are when they come to him. He sees the results of his brilliant work afterwards. He listens to his patients kind words and thanks; but he can’t experience their thoughts and feelings and happiness. Thank you doesn’t say anywhere near enough.

Very professional, he offered a straightforward description of the issues and a clear path forward. He successfully performed a complex knee surgery that has so far worked well.
