Posted on MaryTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Spiritos is such an amazing doctor and I'm so grateful I was referred to him! I've been struggling with mysterious chronic illness symptoms since 2019 that other doctors had been unable to successfully diagnose or treat, but upon my first visit with Dr. Spiritos, he immediately picked up on the fact that all of my symptoms were consistent with Mast Cell Activation Syndrome. He quickly got me situated to get the necessary lab work, which indeed confirmed I had the MCAS markers, he got me started on two mast cell stabilizer prescriptions, and he recommended some MCAS-friendly lifestyle changes. All of these things have improved my life significantly! My MCAS has improved so much that I've finally been able to confidently take on more classes at college! Prior to MCAS treatment, I kept having what my doctors thought were antibiotic-resistant sinus infections. Those alleged infections were so intrusive that I was forced to medically withdraw a couple semesters in a row. Thanks to Dr. Spiritos, I've finally been able to put a stop to those symptoms because he helped me figure out that they were actually MCAS flares that I needed to treat as such. The mast stabilizer meds he put me on have improved my symptoms so much that I was actually able to complete this past semester of college without medically withdrawing, and I'm excited to do so again this upcoming semester. On top of all of this, Dr. Spiritos is an all-around kind, validating, and action-driven doctor, who I would recommend to anyone. EverBetter Medicine seems like a really great practice, and I'm happy to see it grow, so he can help more patients like me.Posted on sydney langeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have lived with chronic illness my entire life and have seen many physicians at major medical centers, including the Mayo Clinic. While those doctors did what they could to help me manage my conditions, it was not until I began care with Dr. Spiritos and Ever Better Medicine that I truly felt seen, heard, and genuinely cared for. For the first time, I started having more good days than difficult ones. Dr. Spiritos is one of the most compassionate and helpful doctors I have ever encountered. He and his team truly put their patients first and encourage you to be an active participant in your own healthcare rather than simply telling you what should or should not be done. He is also one of the most responsive physicians I have ever worked with. I have never felt that a question was too small or an inconvenience. In my experience, simply getting a response, especially one that is thoughtful and not dismissive, has been life changing. In less than a month, Dr. Spiritos helped me receive treatment for an issue I had been struggling with for more than 15 years. Every other doctor had told me it was not a problem and not to worry about it. He was the first person to truly listen, acknowledge that what I was experiencing was real, and reassure me that I did not have to continue living feeling miserable. For the first time in my life, I learned that my symptoms were not all in my head and that although there may be some trial and error, there are real and effective ways to feel better. I am incredibly grateful for Dr. Spiritos and his team and cannot recommend them highly enough.Posted on Kali TougasTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After years of no answers and lots of specialists who were treating each symptom/illness separate, Dr. Spiritos was the first to doctor to take the time and connection the dots. I am headed in a direction with health that I haven’t seen in years. I will be hiking in the mountains again soon. Highly recommend EverBetter team!Posted on Candice MullinsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Spiritos is the most caring doctor I have ever met. After about 14 years of being gaslit by other doctors dismissing my symptoms, I finally found a doctor that heard me and CARED. Every appointment I have had with him, Dr. Spiritos is not only dialed in on what I’m saying about my symptoms, he is explaining why I feel that way. He looks at the whole picture of what’s going on with you and thinks outside the box to get you a solution. If I ever had an issue or question, I could message him and he would respond quickly. If you want real answers from a doctor that truly wants to make you better, this is the place to be.Posted on Devanie SykesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Spiritos provides exceptional care and brings rare expertise in MCAS, neuro-gastroenterology, and complex multisystem conditions. His evaluations are thorough, evidence-based, and exceptionally well-informed. He consistently takes the time to understand the full clinical picture and has helped clarify issues that multiple specialists were unable to address. His professionalism, responsiveness, and commitment to high-level diagnostic work make him an outstanding physician. I am grateful for the depth of his knowledge and the quality of care he provides.Posted on Cassidy PeikinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr S treats you like a person- he doesn’t talk down to you or act like you don’t know anything about your body. He tries relentlessly to figure out solutions for his patients by taking the time to actually listen to them. I have never had a dr who treats people like this- with kindness and understanding and with a genuine drive to go the extra mile in figuring you out instead of telling you this will be your life forever. I would highly recommend him to anyone who has been written off by other doctors- Dr S will take the time to figure out how to help you in the best way for you.Posted on LKCTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Spiritos is thorough, kind, and understands invisible illness. I have had chronic nausea and vomiting my whole life and he was able to prescribe me a medication I had never heard of that has basically fixed my nausea and vomiting when I take it. He takes time to understand what you’re going through and puts in the effort to do all he can to help. I cannot recommend him enough.Posted on Nicholas MihmTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Zac listens, understands, and is the kindest human being. Thank you Doctor.Posted on sam stoneTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr Spiritos is brilliant, compassionate, and has expertise in all things related to gastroenterology. Additionally, Dr Spiritos understands and has experience in treating complex patients with dysautonomia, mast cell activation disorder and ehlers danlos. Dr Spiritos treats my loved one who is disabled with all of the above and has had tremendous nausea since the day she was born. Within minutes of hearing her symptoms and history, he suggested a medication that is an effective treatment for her 25 years of nausea. Then, he fought and appealed with the insurance company to get it covered. We are so grateful to have found Dr Spiritos. He is a very young doctor who has the knowledge and wisdom of someone who has practiced for decades. We are so grateful to have found him.Posted on Austin MillerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Zach is incredible. After dealing with gut issues for 16 months and seeing multiple healthcare providers he was the first person I talked to that I felt like had an idea of what was going on and how to get a game plan going forward. He is really sharp, and will mix conventional and holistic medicine. He treats the root cause. I can't say enough good things about Ever Better Medicine.
