    Very good experience with this provider. She is skilled, proficient and knowledgeable. She answers questions posed on the patient portal in an extremely timely manner and explains things clearly. She attempts to cover all the bases in the limited time allowed to primary care physicians. [redacted]

    Dr. Spencer is an amazing doctor. She makes you feel seen and heard as an actual person and not just as the next task to get through (like my last PCP did). She asked about my life overall and not just medical issues and she is very easy to talk to, never felt judgmental.

    Dr. Spencer is EXCELLENT and she is exactly the type of provider MGB should be doing everything in their power to retain. It's very discouraging seeing the rate at which primary care providers are fleeing the system for concierge medicine. The brand of primary care at MGB is flailing as a result.
