Geoffrey Spencer, M.D., M.S.C.E.

Dr. Spencer has remedied a swallowing challenge (esophageal stricture) I’ve been dealing with for more than 10 years. He’s a great doctor, studied and personal (always willing to educate me a bit about the science — and scientific names — of the inner universe of the body). He did the procedures masterfully, nailed the diagnosis and prescribed a treatment that seems to have cured me of my problem. I’m getting back to normal and able to enjoy eating without the fear of the stricture. Steak is my friend again!

My appointment was at 1:15 it is now 1:30. People who had an earlier appointment than me but came late were seen ahead of me. That really pisses me off especially since I am taking this appointment while I am on lunch.

Went in for consulation regarding pending colonoscopy. Dr. Spencer was very straightfoward and personable. I was not kept waiting at his office and the staff was helpful. Dr. Spencer was on-​time for the ultimate procedure at another facility and was helpful both before and after the procedure.

I believe that in early 2013, Dr. Spencer’s inexperience may have prevented my daughter from getting better service. He kept her on prednosone too long. (Later, another doctor prescribed Humaria. It helped without as many dangerous side effects.) Dr. Spencer ordered tests that have already been done by another doctor. This delayed important treatment. He requested too many return visits. His overworked staff did not have the time to confirm which tests were on file. The staff never called to confirm appointments. This resulted in a bad mix-​up and more delay in treatment. I am thankful that this receptionist wasn’t working there the following month.

I vividly remember being reduced to tears by Dr. Spencer. When I was asked at intake for my reason for my lower endoscopy by the surgery center where he preformed the procedure, I repeated verbatim what Dr. Spencer had told me, «…to rule out Chron’s.» A week later when I arrived for my results appointment, I heard him tell his MA, «She’s insane and convinced she has Chron’s.»
Thanks for the awesome, objective, kind, and competent care…

Saw him for a consult for a unique problem, he barely skimmed over all the ER visit medical records I sent him ahead of time. Saw him for 10 minutes, prescribed some worthless meds and basically accused me of just having anxiety. Please!!! Do yourself a favor and wait for an appointment with his partner.

I had been misdiagnosed by another doctor and went to Dr. Spencer. He listened, examined, and an initial diagnosis followed by testing proved he was correct. I had questions about all of it and he answered everything in plain English. I use an OTC medicine and feel so much better!

I scheduled an appointment for my husband, Christopher, to see Dr. Spencer as a second opinion. (and soooo glad we did!) First of all, unlike other offices, his front office staff takes the time to listen to you and your specific concerns. Tiffany, I think was her name, was incredibly friendly and helpful. We scheduled to see Dr. Spencer within a week. (that’s unheard of in other offices) It was also nice to see the actual doctor and not a PA, NP, etc… I think the front office staff reflects a lot about the doctor because Dr. Spencer took the time to listen to my husband and ordered labs and testing that he felt appropriate. We will be pursuing treatment with Dr. Spencer. The San Jose community is lucky to have Dr. Spencer.
