Allan Spiegel Medical

A debilitating headache for 4 months that no one could diagnose, until I found Dr. Spiegel.

My headache began on July 2022. Two Urgent Care visits in August failed to solve the issue, they thought I had Acute Sinusitis. Was referred to and went to an Ear, Nose, Throat doctor in September. A head Cat Scan revealed no sign of sinus infection, except for a possible tooth infection. Advised to go to my dentist. Middle of September now, and dentist does a Full face X-ray and localized x-rays – can’t see infection. Was asked if I had a recent eye injury, no, but had cataract surgery earlier in the year. Advised to go to my Ophthalmologist. End of September and Ophthalmologist can't find nothing wrong, asks if I have seen a Neurologist. That's when I researched Dr. Spiegel, and went to him in October.

Right away, he knew what I had: Trigeminal Neuralgia. He started me on medicine to treat the nerve pain, and slowly increased the dosage during the next 2 months, until the pain was not as severe as before. Because the symptom was being treated and not the cause, Dr. Spiegel suggested a procedure to deaden the nerve. On January 2023, after 6 months of pain, I made the decision to go ahead, and after 2 treatments, I'm now pain free! As I write this, we're slowly reducing the medicine until I don't have to take it anymore.

Why the long story? If I can save you the agony of pain for just one minute, and you really need an excellent Neurologist, go to Dr. Spiegel. He knows what he's doing, and I'm grateful to have found him (his staff is excellent as well)!

If you are seeking a neurologist, Dr. Spiegel is certainly the best. He uses modern technology, such as Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy which treats many conditions
His physicians assistant, Lisa does an excellent job in explaining how to live with whatever your condition is on a day to day basis. So I cannot recommend Dr. Spiegel enough.

Dr. Spiegel and his staff are just remarkable. My concern was addressed appropriately and professionally in a timely manner with no hassles. He ran appropriate tests and concluded a medication I was on could be stopped. I think there's a general feeling (and probably rightfully so in many cases) that Neurologists can lack social skills or personality. Dr. Spiegel in no way exhibited that. I highly recommend him and know you won't be disappointed.

Dr. Allan Spiegel, neurologist in Palm Harbor, FL U.S 19N provides medical care as it SHOULD be. His competencies are top notch and current however, the way his office is run reminds me strongly of how care was delivered so long ago. His staff are very courteous and they will go to great lengths on behalf of Dr. Spiegel's patients as needed.

Dr Spiegel actually spends time with his patients, I never feel like I am in line at a deli! I am quite fond of this doctor and how pleasant he treats me with great respect. I love that feeling as I did so many years ago when medicine was an art and science, not just insurance and a number.

This is how it should be done and I wish ALL doctor offices were run. When leaving his office I know the care I just received made me feel educated about my condition, the treatment plan, welcomed and cared for. I never feel rushed, I just know I was cared for as an individual as if a part of a family. You rock Dr. Spiegel and staff! Medical care today has much to learn from you.

Thank you so much.
