I have a son that was diagnosed with pre-diabetes and has a father who has diabetes and gave him the lectur. I guess Dr. Spurlin thought because I'm black that I was a single parent. My son is on the Spectrum and had nightmares about Dr. Spurlin drilling him on what he heard approximately 6 times from the medical doctors in our family. From my uncle, my niece, my sister and my father who are exceptional black surgeons and internists. News flash Dr. Spurlin scare tactics don't work on people with his super ability you just made the whole situation worse. Take a refresher course in psychology

Just left my first appointment at Pinnacle and Dr. Spurlin is AMAZING. Plus his staff is kind and so helpful- shout out to Shayna for the face wash tips Hopefully I won't be back for another year but if I need to come back sooner, I trust Dr. Spurlin will take good care of me as he does all his patients. Thanks again, Dr. S!

Dr.Spurling and his staff (Especially his PA Victoria) are amazing. They're so quick and concise and very friendly. One of my biggest pet peeves is waiting and waiting. Each time I visit I wait no longer than 5 minutes. Victoria tells me if I ever get a huge pimple again to call anytime and they'll take care of it with an injection. They live up to what they say. Each time I get pimple they squeeze me in rather than me squeezing my pimple.

Dr. Dupati is the best out there! He listens to you, is very knowledgeable and professional. I've also been to other doctors in the office and they are just as kind and focused on getting the result you want. Dr. Dupati is a fantastic doctor and I highly recommend anyone to see Dr. Dupati. He goes above and beyond for his patients and his bedside manner is outstanding. You can't do better than Dr. Dupati

Dr. Spurlin and his staff are top notch, best of the best. I have had some skin tag issues for years as well as some other mole/wart type things going on and was always afraid to go get them removed.
Dr. Spurlin's staff made me feel very comfortable right off, tthey came in talked with me in-depth about what was going on , marked everything and then Dr. Spurlin came in to take a look. He is one of the nicest Dr. I have ever met, no really, a genuine great guy and very very knowledgeable doc. He went over everything and determined that we would take the area removals in three parts, explained

Dr. David and his team are incredibly kind, patient, informative and professional. Each visit and call was very educational, and I felt comfortable asking even the "silly" questions. When I had questions and concerns they handled them quickly and thoroughly. The wait times were short, and the care was exceptional.
