Reviews
Dr. Spiegle has been amazing in helping us get to the roots of the abuse our girls experienced with their biological father. He has also helped us figure out how to have conversations with them without alienating their biodad, but also be honest with them about what they are experiencing. Our 10 year old loves talking with him and will often ask to talk with him when she gets stressed, and he will do his best to accommodate us when this happens. I think the other reviews calling him a hired gun are from people who lost custody because they were abusive

My 20-year-old son saw Dr. Spiegle for evaluation and reporting. Dr. Spiegle made him feel welcomed and very comfortable from the start, which is important for my son who deals with various disabilities. The process went smoothly. I'm so pleased with the thoroughness of the testing and completeness of the report. Dr. Spiegle also provided testimony at a hearing and was an excellent witness.

My son with aspergers, PTSD and suicidal thoughts has been to many therapists, social workers and counselors. He's been prescribed multiple medications over many years.
The only real help and support from any professional has come from Dr.Spiegel. I feel comfortable with him in the knowledge that he truly does put his patients first.
