Dr. Spring is a passionate, professional, efficient, and dedicated doctor. In just a few days, she reviewed my medical history, arranged all the necessary tests, and developed a comprehensive treatment plan.

Dr. Spring is a wonderful provider. She's so easy to talk to, and answers questions concisely but thoroughly. I've been an RN in Women's Health for almost forty years (recently retired,) but can't think of an oncologist I'd rather have treating my breast cancer than Dr. Spring. I trust her judgement implicitly.

This provider has always been overly professional and always cared and listened and was very thorough in explaining things to me. I would recommend her, not only her, all of my care providers at Mass General have been above and beyond and I already have referred them to all, all friends and one of my cousins is having treatment through the same four providers that I have for my breast cancer and I am also going to start seeing cardiology at Mass General. So I am 100% happy with Mass General as always in all the time that I've ever been there. And a whole bunch of my family members are there too and they are very happy there. And that's all I have to say.

I think the overall experience has been good. I would say that Dr. Spring is very knowledgeable. I would say that she's polite. But I felt as though she had one foot out the door for part of that visit and discussing a subject matter. I felt a little bit dismissed. Not completely, and I don't want to leave that impression. I think that for the most part, I'm comfortable and I know that she's certainly a very smart person. I think that she could spend a little more time looking as though she's listening and actually listening than my past few visits have been. But otherwise, I'm satisfied and I wouldn't change Mass General for anything. So thank you.

Hi, Dr. Spring is very thorough. She knows, or she at least knows my medical record and knows my medical history. She's also very proactive about scheduling testing and appointments and also to make them happen at the same time so that you can go in on the same day and get things done. [redacted] And I would recommend her to anyone. Thank you. Bye.
