Physician Satisfaction

The Spalding Medical staff is small and a specialist in physical medicine and rehabilitation (Physiatrist) directs the care of each patient that is admitted to Spalding. Many other specialty physicians are also available to provide consultations on problems that my come up during a patient’s stay. We have recently received results of  the 2009 survey of physicians and their satisfaction with Spalding.
