Thank you so much.

I am so glad that I am Dr. Specter's patient. I go over to nephrology. There is never a wait. Everything is prompt. The people who work there are absolutely lovely. They're personable and friendly and kind. Dr. Specter, I think, is top of the line. I give him five stars. He answers all my questions before I even ask them. I think he's wonderful. I love him. I give my whole experience at Virtual Nephrology five stars. And if there's anything higher than five, then I would double it. Okay, thank you so much, Dr. Specter, and staff. Thank you for always a good experience. Thank you.

When I walked in I was greeted by the staff and treated very well. I was called back shortly after my arrival where someone went over some medical history. Shortly after the doctor came in. I felt like he listed to me and was very informative when talking to me. A very good experience for someone who was very nervous as a first time patient of a nephrologist

I trust Dr Specter 100% with my health. He's been my Dr for over a year and I can honestly say that he's never done me wrong. All decisions I make, I go thru him. I've never had a Dr that was so hands on and showed sincere care. His staff is also very sweet. They know me by name and chit chat with me like we're life long friends. By far, one of the best Specialty groups Virtua has.

Dr. Specter is a great doctor. He was able to recognize my need to get a kidney transplant when my previous doctor did not. He recommended me to go to Penn Medicine. I had nothing but great things about Penn Medicine and also him. So I would recommend him to anyone.
