    Dr. Spenser earned my respect and trust. I owe him my deepest appreciation. I switched to him after I suffered two unsuccessful surgeries by another Optum urologist at Katonah. Before him, I went through numerous examinations including two CT scans and a nuclear scan in a roll while being hard pressed to get a drastic re-implantation of my ureter or I would end up having a kidney removed or WORSE. Dr. Spenser reexamined my case thoroughly. He removed the original stone as lingering fragments, relieved the ureter stricture, and reduced my swollen kidney back to normal. I now enjoy the best health after two years of ordeal. Dr. Spenser carries knowledge and skills. My discussions with him are rigorous and enlightening based on reasoning but never threatening conclusions. He is the best doctor I ever have had.
