Endometriosis was a problem until I met Dr Spirtos and his staff. They helped me get though a lot of trying time throughout my journey to get my endometriosis under control to have children. I have one child, thanks to Dr Spirtos and his staff. Infertility and health problems are not easy and I have been an emotional mess. I see other reviews on Dr Spirtos as being that he is harsh and unprofessional. Doctor Spirtos is a great doctor and he is always available for me. I recommend him. I would not say he is harsh, I would say him is honest and to the point. He does his job and does what needs to be done. I had been to doctor after doctor with no explanation of my pain until I met Dr Spirtos. In the years I have know Dr. Spitos he has always been there for me.

I loved the staff - Sandra, Carla, etc. Dr Spirtos is a different story for me. We were referred by my OBGYN for treatment due to PCOS. I felt very much like a number, and was expected to align to a treatment plan that was set for me without my involvement. All questions were given vague answers (or left for me to look up), I felt talked down to. I was frequently asked to check with my husband, or run a decision past my husband, which is ludicrous. Medications had terrible side effects, my questions felt as if they fell on deaf ears when I asked the Dr. The final straw for me was when I inquired about dietary/lifestyle changes, and told implementing those would not impact my hormone levels positively (which even a cursory google search can disprove).I would suggest you get a second opinion before proceeding here. I am not easily flustered, nor a pushover, and I don’t take many things personally. In reviewing my charts at my new facility, they were truly troubled by some of the steps taken at Dr Spirtos office. I pondered this review for about 1.5 years before posting, so know it came from a reflective place!

At the age of 22 after my first laparoscopy, I was told by a local OBGYN that I would never be able to have children due to extensive endometriosis, but I wasnt going to die. In my heart I knew that dr was wrong and I found Dr. Spirtos. He never sugar coated anything, but he never gave up helping me so I could be a Mom. His sense of humor and kind bedside manor helped get me through the struggles of infertility. I dont like to think what my life wouldve been like if I had listened to the first dr and my path didnt lead me here to Dr. Spirtos. I have two beautiful children thanks to Dr. Spirtos and his staff. I can only pray if my daughter has struggles getting pregnant like I did she has him to help her. ❤

I was very impressed with Dr. Spirtos and his staff. Sandra was so kind and I knew I was going to be happy with this office from the minute I spoke to Sandra on the very first phone call. I called on a Friday, gave her my story, and she had my appointment scheduled for Monday because of my cycle she didn’t want to waste any time. I was referred to a bigger practice in town, but was warned not to go there by a friend. My friend said she felt like she was just a number and never felt worse in her entire life. She never treated with Dr. Spirtos, but said he has a very good reputation in the medical field (she is a nurse) and if she could do it all over again, she would choose him. I am so thankful that I did because I have him to thank for my baby girl (due in January). I definitely appreciated his direct communication approach and I was certainly never offended by him. I felt he was professional, honest, and extremely knowledgeable. I appreciated his sense of humor as well. When treating with a fertility doctor, the appointments can be very disappointing and tough and he definitely had a way of making me feel better on the bad days. After each appointment, he brings you back to his office to discuss the treatment plan, options, and answers every single question. I never felt rushed and I certainly never felt like I was a number. He treated me with dignity and respect. What more could anyone ask for?

I LOVE this office. The office staff is amazing and Dr Spirtos is fantastic. He does have a dry sense of humor and is old school, but once you get to know him he is actually very caring. Its also great to be able to call the office and immediately talk to someone, instead of leaving a voicemail in hopes for a return call before the end of the day. And if you cant look past some outdated office decor, then you are there for the wrong reason. Before going to him, I was told I have a 1% chance to get pregnant due to limited ovarian reserve. My first doctor refused to try any other options because she thought it would be a waste of time and money. I went to Dr Spirtos after being referred by a friend and Im so glad I did. He went through all the steps and we gradually tried each way before moving up to the next option. For the first few months we tried insemination without medication. After a few unsuccessful attempts, we moved to the next step... Insemination while I was on a medicine that helped egg production. After 2 tries, I got a call from him that our 3rd attempt was a success!! He was so happy for me and I will be forever grateful. I am due in 2 weeks and still think about that office all the time. I will always refer them and plan on going back when its time for baby #2.

Dr. Spiritos and his staff are wonderful. He is blunt, matter of fact, and above all, passionate about what he does best. My daughter and I are both “Spirtos babies” and I look forward to having our next!

I want to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎊🎉🎈!!!!!!Secondly, I like to say Dr. Spirtos’s is the first only Doctor that kept honest no matter what, which helped me a lot. He was successful in getting me pregnant my first cycle with twins!!! Now he told me the chance of me carrying both babies were low because of genetic/medical reasons and he was correct. Now I’m 28w 3d!!! Also, he had a nice clean and peaceful office and seating area. His staff is A1!!! I wish he could deliver my son. He’s the only doctor I’ve ever trusted. I owe so much to you! I’m so thankful for helping reach my dream. This man made sure he still made sure I was taken care even in such a sad loss of his mother. Five stars isn’t enough!!!

Great team and physician. Brought us our baby boy and most recently our baby girl. I can’t thank them all enough!

Everyone is amazing here!! They are very sincere and caring. Dr. Spirtos will tell you how it is, no sugar coating, but he treats everyone case by case and is very thorough. He doesnt have the best bedside manner and yes his office needs updated, but that doesnt make him a bad doctor. He is a great one. He has one of the highest success rates in Ohio (higher than the other large company right down the street) and is less expensive as well. You will NEVER be treated like a number here. I wish there was more than 5 stars!!!!!

Dr. Spirtos and his staff were wonderful Im so thankful for him. I have a baby girl and plan to see him again next yr.Update Dr.Spirtos has worked is magic again we are 12 weeks pregnant with baby #2. Thanks to him and the wonderful staff, we really appreciate you guys see you in 2022 for our next baby or babies!

I do not recommend this office because of Dr Spirtos. The other staff were very sweet. But the Dr has no bedside manner.During an ultrasound I realized he wasnt wearing gloves, I could feel his hands against my skin and was mortified. But I thought maybe he forgot or maybe he thinks when using the ultrasound wand he didnt need them? So I didnt mention anything.For my following appointment, before our next ultrasound, he was getting ready and I noticed, again, no gloves. So this time I stopped him and asked if he could please put gloves on before the exam. HE ROLLED HIS EYES AT ME and huffed like I was being complicated.Idk the protocol for wearing gloves while holding a wand, but I feel like for sanitary reasons and being so close to somebodys vagina, gloves should be standard. If I can feel your hand brush against my skin, it better have a glove on. I dont know where your hands have been.And again, since idk the protocol, maybe he couldve just put a glove on without making me feel stupid and changing the atmosphere from something special for me to something extremely awkward.During that exam, I was so uncomfortable and felt so vulnerable having somebody annoyed at me, for a simple request, in my body.After the ultrasound, we spoke in his office about the risks of twins. He was not welcoming, he was not pleasant or kind and he spoke as if he were trying to scare me out of having twins. My whole experience was awkward and uncomfortable.He needs to retire and not work anywhere that involves interacting with people.

If it was possible to give 0 stars I would. I caution any woman who goes to him seeking any type of compassion or help. This office is completely unprofessional and I have never felt more SCAMMED in my life. I would encourage anyone who is contemplating going here to explore ALL other options. Be prepared for bogus billing statements and ridiculous charges with absolutely no results. Make sure you go to a reputable doctor and BEWARE of Dr. Spirots.

Me and my Fiance absolutely LOVE Dr. Spiritos. He has been THE ONLY Dr. to help give me a diagnosis for my infertility issues. He is a wonderful Dr. and I love all of his staff. My sister has gone to him as well and she now has a 17 month old son and another son due in November. I have PCOS and have been going to him Since September of 2018 I am currently doing my second IUI with him and praying my body does what it has too. Highly recommend him. Upfront honest guy and he treats you by case not by number! Update! I am 7weeks pregnant today thank you Dr.Spiritos and staff for everything! Would write a million more reviews if I could

I am shocked at the 1 star reviews. Infertility is difficult & emotional, but projecting onto these professionals is not the way to go. Every BODY is different & they treat patients as such.Id wasted years & thousands of dollars at another more well-known office with an abundance of people in the waiting room. They used the same protocol for each person regardless of the individuals issue, even skipped testing my husband focusing solely on me even after my testing came back standard baseline. I was put on meds I didnt need, took tests that didnt need drawn & were given little to no information.With Dr. Spirtos & crew, tests were drawn given my medical history & my husbands, with some standard baseline testing as well. We came up with a game plan that was flat out honest. Can Dr. Spirtos be brash- yes. But does that mean he doesnt put thought & care into each of his patients, absolutely not. If he was too rough, I said something. If he was speaking tougher than usual, Id ask for clarification or say something to his nurses & theyd say something to him. I at no point felt like he wasnt doing everything he could to ensure we had the best result possible.And as far as pricing, we were given the info & I asked questions if I didnt understand. Sandra always did everything she could to help me find coupons or samples or discounts everywhere she could because of our insurance coverage. Everyones insurance is different, so be sure you call your insurance rep to get FULL clarification of what is/isnt covered ahead of time.Yes, the decor is not updated. Yes, Dr. Spirtos had told me on multiple occasions to pray as theyd done all the science they could in that cycle. But Id take their decor & faith over a shiny office & conveyer belt-like clinics any day. Hes not out for fame, hes out for results. Their office reports just like any other, if they were as terrible as the negative comments are contesting, they wouldnt be in this area of expertise as long as they have.Folks- its a miracle that ANYONE gets pregnant EVER if you look solely at the science/timing of it. Mix in fertility issues & its even more complicated. Truth is, theres no guarantee. Some other offices offer that, but theyre preying on desperate people & should be ashamed to call themselves doctors.If you cant see that Dr. Spirtos & Co. will shoot you straight, not sugar coat it, & focus truly on the scientific breakdown to get you pregnant- this isnt the office for you. We are blessed to have met these individuals & thankful theyd truly become family. I recommend them to everyone!

My Fiancée and I LOVE Dr. Spirtos! We have been trying for months to get pregnant and it wasn’t working. We went to the women’s health clinic in Tallmadge and it was like I was never heard. I had to beg the dr to help us. Beg him to do test only for him to say theres nothing he could do. Would call their office and never get a call back. So I decided to go elsewhere. I called Dr. spirtos and Sandra answered my first call. I unloaded everything on this poor women in tears and lost hope. She listened to me and after I was done said they could help. She got me in right away. Dr spirtos does have a dry sense of humor but we get a kick out of it. He takes his job very seriously and it shows. He takes everything in and gets a game plan for you. Our first visit we went over everything. Did an ultrasound, physical exams for us both, lots of blood work. Came in for our second visit and gave us our results, did an ultrasound and he said I was about to ovulate and asked if we wanted to do IUI. Of course said yes. My fiancée did his sample, went to lunch and came back and hour later. Went into the room and Dr spirtos came in and said let’s make a baby! Sandra was with us and prepared me for the IUI and let my fiancée do the honors. When we were walking out he said we were going to be just fine and it’s in God’s hands now. I go in four days to see if we are pregnant. Even if this isn’t the cycle we have complete faith in Dr spirtos and his most outstanding and loving staff whom are hands down the most wonderful ladies to work with in such a stressful time. Thank you to Dr. Spirtos and your team! You all are now apart of our family ❤️

My wife and I were able able to get pregnant after 4 cycles with the help of Dr. Spirtos! He and his staff are amazing! I highly recommend him to anyone having fertility issues. He is very honest and straight forward and explains everything upfront. His staff is also very knowledgable and available to answer any questions you have.

As the Laboratory Manager for Dr Spirtos, I feel obligated to reply to the scam review. Any one that schedules an appointment with any physician is responsible for the cost of a consultation. Most of the time, that entails paying your co-pay for the visit and is subject to your deductible. When a patient has no insurance, the cost is $150 at our office and must be pre-paid as many people skip their appointments if not pre-paid. An initial consultation with Dr Spirtos usually lasts over an hour, gathering history, answering multitudes of questions, discussing options, forming a treatment plan, etc. The cost of testing, whether its ultra sound, blood work, or semen analysis is separate from a consultation. Again, insurance usually covers this. But, if you do not have insurance, you are responsible for payment at the time of service. A semen analysis costs $150. If ANY person desires to have JUST a semen analysis, with NO CONSULTATION, then it is simply the $150 for the test. Always remember, there are two sides to every story. Thank you!

Not a good experience at all. Save yourself before its too late. Many undisclosed pertinent facts and sales pitches that change depending on his mood. Poor bedside manners and much much more costly (time and money) than the procedure itself. We have huge regret and its not our fault (or Gods...) Statistics have proven that these small clinics/labs have much worse success rates. Unfortunately we found out way too late!

My husband and I were referred to this office by my local OBGyn a few years ago. We have never been able to conceive and were very hopeful that Dr. Spirtos would be able to help. Unfortunately, we were terribly wrong. I could get past the incredibly outdated office and equipment. I overlooked his abrupt and condescending tone. I convinced myself that going down to the creepy, freezing dungeon of a lab by myself with just him and one nurse was normal. As a teaching doctor, he invited many different students into the exam room and (with my consent) asked them to conduct vaginal ultra sounds on me, and I told myself that it was okay. I was helping people learn to become doctors someday, no matter how mortifyingly uncomfortable it made me. What I could not get past was his advice after several, emotionally-draining, failed attempts at IUF. He told us that he didnt know why it wasnt working because as far as he could tell, we were doing everything right. Then, he said I SHOULD GO TO CHURCH AND PRAY!!!! What sort of doctor says that? I shouldve listened to my instincts when I noticed that the giant waiting room was always empty. Or that all of the decor and articles touting Dr. Spirtos as a miracle worker were from the 1980s. I shouldve immediately gone to another specialist. Not only did he make a terrible impression, but he made me feel like I had failed in some way, and so we never pursued fertility treatments anywhere else. At the time, I felt I couldnt handle the emotional roller coaster any longer. Now, Im afraid its too late.

A SCAM! The receptionist told my husband that they could perform a semen sample for a $150 charge and charged the card over the phone. The day we come in they tell us the $150 is strictly just for a consultation and that the receptionist had it wrong over the phone and they refused to give us a refund or perform the sample. We are young college graduates so every penny counts and it is so sad that they are running this scam of collecting money over the phone for one thing just for you to come in and them tell you they need more money and that they basically charged you to answer your questions about the analysis not actually perform it. would not recommend to anyone!

I love Dr. Spirtos, because of him I have a wonderful 3 year old daughter. I went to him after having fertility treatments at CCF,spending thousands of dollars and being treated as a number. He and his staff were great. He is very straight forward and some dont like that about him, but I appreciated that about him. I wouldnt recommend anyone else but him.

Ive only been going to Dr. Spirtos for little over a month. Before the visit I googled him and saw all these negative reviews and was so so nervous to go to my first appointment. I had the mindset that he was going to be rude and mean and just a not nice person.. I was wrong. Yes he says some comments that make you think umm did he just say that? but he really is not as bad as people are making him out to be. Dr. Spirtos just needs a little sass thrown back at him and he will laugh and joke with you. The staff is absolutely the best and so nice! We are still working towards a baby but I have faith that we picked the right place and right Dr to help us! :)

Very rude and unprofessional office. I Have been seeing REs since I was 13, I tried to tell him my history and he completely disregarded me. He was very rough during the exam, literally crying as he jammed the speculum in me over and over again trying to find my cervix - never in my life have had that before. Then forgot to do half my ultrasound, told me to dress and said oh wait need to do you your uterus. They took tons of blood from that turned out to be optional screenings - I already did IVF and have frozen embryos and no need for 1/2 of the testing. He was verbally abusive, and basically used us as a beating ground for his opinions. My husband felt he just wants quick money and not to deal with people with a medical history. His office was a ghost town, I was there for 2 hours and the only patient.

I absolutely love Dr. Spirtos and all the staff that works there. He is the type of doctor that loves what he does. He does not sugar coat anything he is straight to the point but in a professional manner and I love that! The staff is amazing and didn’t treat you like a dollar sign.I could call them anytime with any questions and I didn’t feel rushed off the phone or anything! I had tried for years to conceive with no success and found Dr. Spirtos did a medicated IUI unsuccessful then he changed some things in the 2nd medicated IUI and I finally got pregnant but unfortunately I had a missed miscarriage. Nothing on his part just Mother Nature. If you are looking for an amazing doctor and staff I highly recommend him.He knows what he is doing and is great at it.

Dr Spirtos is awful and I would not recommend him to anyone that is looking for a kind, compassionate,caring individual, because he is none of these things. He is HARSH, ABRASIVE, and WITHOUT FEELINGS. Not to mention I had to do my own research to figure out my problem and when I presented it to him he was arrogant and aggressive. I NEVER got pregnant from him and when I figured out my own problem, I went to a different Fertility Doc. in Akron and got pregnant the next month. I have 3 beautiful children now with NO help from Dr. Spirtos.

What other people say about Dr. Spirtoss bedside manner is true, it is not the best. However, in NE Ohio, his fertility success rates are the best. Believe it or not hes also cheaper than other local fertility doctors. Fertility is expensive, in general, and anyone who doesnt get a good result is going to write a bad review, naturally. So take those reviews with an extra grain of salt.What I can say is that Dr. Spirtos does care, even if it can be difficult to see that. His staff, however, more than makes up for any lack of warmth he has. Going from his office to other doctors offices is like going from a four star hotel to a cheap motel. You just wont find staff who care about you and your success as much as Dr. Spirtoss staff does. His office is also open seven days a week and they will work to meet your schedule.This is a doctor who has a ton of experience, hes seen just about everything at this point. While other fertility clinics will mention IVF at your second visit, Dr. Spirtos will save it for last, when all other avenues have been explored. If he doesnt think going on medication will help, he wont put you on them. You have to trust his process and his thinking, its why hes been in business for so long and is known as the fertility doctor to see in NE Ohio. So, yeah, if you want a doctor who will sugar coat your news, stay away, but if you want results, if you want to get pregnant, then there is no better place to go than Dr. Spirtos.

I cant understand why some patients gave him less than 5 stars. To me, he was truly a lifesaver.
