Dr. Spang offers comprehensive care for a wide range of shoulder, knee, and sports injuries using the latest treatments in state-of-the-art facilities.
I want to provide the highest quality of care available anywhere in the world to my patients in the area where I grew up. I approach each patient as a unique individual and work hard to understand their story and situation. We then make decisions together.
When I operate on a patient, they become a member of my family. My commitment isn't just for the surgery-it's for life. If I operate on someone, I expect to not just be their surgeon but to be their doctor and friend for life. I chose to join the preferred practice in the area with others who share my highest values. I accept all patients regardless of insurance. I care very much about opioid addiction, and minimize opioid use as much as possible. I am grateful for my chosen career, and I am committed to giving every patient my very best.
