Patient Rating
Patients express strong trust and confidence in Dr. Spivak and the Clinic 1A team, describing them as knowledgeable, professional, and deeply invested in patients' well-being. Reviewers frequently note a warm, approachable manner, clear explanations, and ample time spent listening and answering questions, which helps them feel heard and comfortable discussing sensitive topics. The broader care team—including nurses, assistants, pharmacy, and front desk staff—is praised as kind, responsive, and supportive, contributing to a compassionate, coordinated care experience.
Generated via Patient Reviews
The patient rating score is an average of all responses on our patient experience survey. The rating averages scores for all questions about care from our providers. The scale on which responses are measured is 1 to 5 with 5 being the best score.
Patient comments are gathered from our patient experience survey and displayed in their entirety. For the convenience of our visitors, some patient comments have been translated from their original language into English while preserving their original meaning as accurately as possible. Patients are de-identified for confidentiality and patient privacy.

Dr. Spivak has actually been one of my best advocates he's like a superhero he knows of my current circumstances coming out of homelessness and dealing with in State matter dealing with a Social Security matter that regards that and so he's been phenomena when he always has been as long as I've known him
Just a great doctor feels like a friend and always listen to my concerns and my life care needs
Adam is what I would call a patient's doctor as opposed to a doctor's doctor. He listens to what you are saying and provides usable feedback. He talks with you - not at you. Because of this I trust he actually cares about me as a person.
As mentioned earlier, Dr. Spivak is great and always shows care/good beside manner.
Dr. Spivak was exceptional. He took extra time to listen and explain. I felt very comfortable and confident with him.
Dr. Spivak is thorough and easy to talk with.
I have already recommended the provider multiple times. They make access very easy, and still spend the time to answer questions. Unlike several doctored that you feel like a dollar sign I feel like my care is about me and not money.
Dr Spivak is amazing. I was recommended by a friend and have already recommended other friends.
