Edward C Spoon Jr., MD FACOG FACS

Dr. Spoon is amazing! My doctor was on vacation so he stepped in during my delivery and boy was I lucky! He made me feel like my daughter was the first baby he had ever delivered! The next day when he checked in, he saw I was having a hard time swaddling my baby so he stepped in, swaddled her and gave her a kiss on her forehead as if she was his. Oh by the way my daughter is 4 now, but because his is such an exceptional doctor I feel like this all just happened yesterday. Not sure why I waited this long to write a review, but trust me this guy is good!

Dr. Spoon is a great doctor. Through my whole pregnancy he was very supportive and shows that he genuinely cares about you and your baby. (which is very rare to find nowadays). Went into his office for one of my appointments on March 23,2016 and after he examined me he told me to head right up to Summerlin hospital because I was already 3 cm dilated. He also called ahead and everything was ready for me when I arrived (which was great by the way). Finally after hours of dilating it was time to push. Pushed for three hours and had no results. Dr. Spoon came in and within 15 mintues he worked his magic along with giving me words of encouragement I was able to give birth to my Beautiful daughter. I would definitely recommened him to anyone that is pregnant or planning to have a child. Couldn’t ask for a better OBGYN.

Dr. Spoon is by far THE BEST OBGYN in all of Las Vegas! I have been seeing him for about 11 years and I have not one complaint. He has performed various surgeries on me as needed and there is no one I trust more than Dr. Spoon!
I wouldn’t have my 9 year old miracle baby if it wasn’t for him– I just can’t say enough about how fabulous he is!
His nurse Hazel is amazing as well!
It is always a pleasure seeing him– I don’t dread annuals since finding him.
Would give him 10 stars if I could

Switched to Dr Spoon a couple months before I had my c section because I didn’t feel comfortable with my previous obgyn and it was the best decision! Love Dr Spoon! He is the most friendly, helpful Doctor I’ve ever had. Couldn’t ask for a better obgyn.

Today was my first visit to Dr Spoon. I found his staff very friendly and helpful. There was a bit of a wait but I expect that at any doctors office, he is only one person and there are many patients to see. He took the time to get a full family history and interview before any exam was preformed. I felt informed and taken care of by the time I was ready to leave. I would recommend Dr Spoon and I love his approach of light hearted but intelligent conversation.

I have seen Dr. Spoon since 2007. Since 2007, there was a two year window when my insurance would not cover his office, so I refused to see a gyno during that time because Dr. Spoon is that amazing! I have had probably 6 different ob/​gyns throughout my lifetime and countless different types of doctors, hands down Dr. Spoon is the best doctor I have ever had! I kind of wish he was a primary care doctor, rather than a gynecologist because it is so hard to find a great doctor who cares about their patients as much as he does! I love Dr. Spoon!

I had my first visit with Dr. Spoon for my annual checkup. The office was nice and clean and had only a 20min wait time. Dr. Spoon does a sort of consultation in his office first to see if you are having any concerns. The exam is done with a nurse in the room which makes it a little less awkward. Overall it was a good experience and I’m happy to find an OBGYN in Las Vegas that is both personable and professional. I would highly recommend.

I was looking for a good ob. His office is clean, his staff is professional. The doctor met me in his office before exam. He was very thorough and made me comfortable. I researched all Obgyn here he seemed to be really good. Thanks.

He’s the best. Caring, easy to talk to, and a great doctor! Highly recommend! Great office and staff too.

Newbie pregnant here! Decided to switch doctors since I wasn’t having a pleasant experience, it’s probably the best decision I’ve ever made for me and my little one! Doctor Spoon is very charismatic and you feel extremely comfortable with him. Went over my medical history, addressed all my questions, kept all the time a professional demeanor but at the same it was casual and relaxed. Gave me a pregnancy book as a gift!!! Being used to just standard medical care, when you get treated above and beyond its the best feeling! This was only my first appointment but I’m thrilled I choose Dr. Spoon. Best experience ever! 5 stars for you Dr. Spoon!

Dr. Spoon is the best! He delivered my son 3 years ago and will be delivering my daughter in October. His staff is very friendly and he is always making sure you are comfortable. He listens to my every concern and reassures me constantly. He has a way of calming my nerves. I had an insurance change at work that he was not contracted with and I made sure that I got an outside insurance just so I could keep using Dr. Spoon, that’s how good he is. He is genuine and really cares about you, your health and the health of your baby. He even plays with my son when I bring him to my OB appointments. My whole family has been referred to him by me and all feel the same way! You wont regret using him!

I love Dr. Spoon! My husband and I met with him when I was newly pregnant and he made us both completely comfortable. Unlike most doctors, Dr. Spoon met with us in his office before heading into the exam room. As many mommies and mommies-​to-​be know, there’s not much room for modesty at the doctor’s office, so this was much appreciated– especially as we got to know each other.
When Dr. Spoon completed the first ultrasound with us, he took his time and showed us all the parts of the baby (face, arms, legs, etc) and heartbeat. He answered all of our questions thoughtfully and I trust his responses wholeheartedly.
I’m so happy we found Dr. Spoon … I couldn’t imagine a better doctor!

Every time I call to get appointment or to ask question the nurse and receptionist has attitude and talks to me like I am dumb
When I am pregnant asking for help you don’t have to be rude

Dr Spoon is the first doctor I feel actually listens to me. I have been to several different obgyns around town and was not satisfied at all. First time I met Dr Spoon he spent so much time with me. Went over everything and made me feel like I was in good hands. He’s a wonderful doctor. Highly recommended.

Dr Spoon is amazing. I would sooner change my health insurance then change drs. I recommend him to every woman in Las Vegas and beyond. Even if you don’t live near his office, I guarantee you he is worth the drive.

Dr. Spoon is hands down the best doctor I have ever had. Being a woman, it can be a little uncomfortable having a man do your annual exam, but he changed that. On my first visit he had me sit in his office and he got to know me before the exam. He made me feel comfortable and answered all questions that I had. Every visit since has been nothing but great. I call Dr. Spoon for everything and if you want the best of the best, he is it!
P. S. — We all need to remember that Dr. Spoon takes care of a lot of patients, many of which are pregnant and can deliver at any second. This means that he could potentially be running behind. Before being mad about how long it takes to get into your appointment, please understand that if you were in labor you would hope that he would get there for you too and not worry so much about his appointment times. Its one of those things we just can’t control and whatever doctor you go to will have a wait so don’t be so one sided about it :)

Great doctor! He is really gentle and cares what I have to say. His staff is nice too.

Just met Dr Spoon one week ago with my 3 yr old in tow. He was absolutely amazing! I’m in the medical field & am extremely picky with my personal physicians, Dr Spoon is great! His receptionist is older & seems like a cranky lady but overall was efficient. I appreciate the fact that Dr Spoon took his time to go over my medical records & ask me questions relevant to my visit. He was so kind & patient with my daughter being the room, I don’t normally take her to doctor visits but I didn’t have a sitter.
I can’t wait to have another baby so Dr Spoon can deliver our next baby. Best doctor ever!!! He even recommended another doctor for another condition not related to his field.

I went to Dr. Spoon after checking his qualifications on Vitals and on HealthGrades. His competence is not just on paper — he proved to be very professional, caring, and arranged for and performed necessary tests, which he used to diagnose my condition, all in a relatively short amount of time. His associate NPA was great, as was his regular nurse, who took care of the referrals. Dr Spoon called me personally to discuss my results, which I deeply appreciated. I would recommend him for other patients like me who are post-​menopausal and need a top gynecologist to diagnose potentially troubling and serious conditions.

I hate this guy! His comments were inappropriate and he kept trying to find things wrong with me! I got lab work done to shut him up but first I asked if insurance covered it. He said it did but I just got a $ 70 bill! Then I asked for the generic of my prescription which he said there was none, but I was fairly certain there was… just found out that there definitely is after I paid the $ 130 for the brand name… ugh he was a nightmare all the way around.

I love Dr Spoon. He listens. He is gentle. He’s funny. He cares. The office staff is great too! Sometimes the ladies at the front desk are a little dry, but the nurses in the exam room area are all great.
He’s the best!

So– how did I find Dr. Spoon you all ask? On Unilocal of course!
Who knew, right? We all use Unilocal for restaurants… but a Gyno? Really? Well– if it wasn’t for my fellow Unilocalers leading the way I would not have discovered what a down to earth, funny fellow Dr. Spoon is!
I’ve been through about 2 other gynecologists since moving to Vegas in ’04 and thought I was going to have to continue to search for a doctor that seemed like they really gave a damn… well, search no more.
Dr. Spoon took me in his office for the consultation, asked me a bunch of questions and joked around with me, made me feel very comfortable before I went into the examining room for my annual visit.
Overall, Dr. Spoon was very genuine and made my «uncomfortable» situation very comfortable!

I too really liked him at first.
I am recently relocated and was searching for an og/​gyn for general care. He was very personable and pleasant in our first meeting. Interested in my history and attentive to what I was telling him.
But when I had to have an ultrasound, trying to follow up to find out the results (or when they might get the results) was impossible. I called multiple times over several days before anyone returned my calls. I tried to relay that I had had an upsetting experience with the ultrasound (which is not the ob/gyn’s fault in any way) that made me anxious to hear results.
When the Dr called me with the results a week later, he was very aloof and different. He did not mention that he was aware I had been trying to find out the results. And when I brought it up, trying to relay that I might be dissatisfied (in case he didn’t even know) he got angry with me. I was actually waiting for him to hang up on me.
My basic common courtesy expectation that my call (s) be returned in somewhat timely fashion (within 24hrs) by anyone in his office, if only to let me know that they had not yet received results, apparently was unreasonable according to him. He actually told me «he is a busy man» and if I wanted that kind of attention he could put a note in my chart. I cannot believe that sort of basic service requires special notation in a chart.
I will not be seeing this Dr again.

I really liked him at first… but then I upset him by walking out of the office after 2 hours of waiting and being told «you are next» by his staff. I tried to explain to him on my next visit that I have to leave work to see him and although I completely understand that emergencies (and deliveries!) come up unexpected, I just need to be told the truth by his staff so I can set the right expectations with my boss & with myself (um…pregnant woman in a doctor’s office for 2 hours with no food. what?!?). Ever since then he has been rude, hasn’t listened to my concerns, rushed me out of the office, and misdiagnosed me when I came to his office with pelvic pain. I really did like him at first, but it seems to me this doctor is one with quite the «ego» and I messed with that. On to the next doctor

There is a very shallow talent pool for doctors in Vegas. The OB/​GYN pool even more so. I was so happy to finally find a winner to look me in the eye and treat me like a fellow human being.
I went to see Dr. Spoon after a traumatic miscarriage at Spring Valley Hospital and an infuriating visit to the Dr. they referred me to which prompted me to walk out hurling insults that would make sailors cry. This was after a nearly 2 hour wait AND I arrived 30 minutes early to fill out forms and deal with a receptionist lacking ANY command of the English language.
Dr. Spoon looked over the mountain of test results and medical records I came in with and insisted he read. We discussed my medical history and I really wanted to know the reason for my miscarriage. I didn’t get an answer for that and it still gnaws at me. He tried to reassure me telling me that sometimes it’s nature’s way, etc. He did order lots of tests to see if it was possible for me to have another child and try to get me some answers. He treated me with dignity and respect and that is hard to find in this town by any measure.
My only concern was the receptionist asked me to sign a waiver stating I wouldn’t sue him for malpractice. It was highly unsettling but she insisted it was required by his insurance carrier. I inquired if this was for him or due to another doc in the practice and she refused to tell me so I refused to sign and she was not happy. Having been the victim of a bad doctor in my youth, I don’t sign any waivers. No do overs w/​my body! Once I spoke to him and went through the exam I felt reassured that he was a good doctor.
If I were to have a child in Vegas, he would be my choice. Definitely for yearly visits if nothing else. He’s intelligent and personable which speaks volumes in this town.
I would have given him 5 stars if not for the snarky receptionist.

Attention Women Unilocalers!
Dr. Edward Spoon…
Spoon was referred to me by my boyfriend’s childhood friend whose wife has been seeing Spoon for many years now.
I always have had bad experiences with OB/GYN’s and I change doctors yearly because I feel uncomfortable with them, given the fact that it is an uncomfortable situation already. I am just so fed up with these doctors who just looks at my chart, repeats everything that is written and when being asked questions, they put the chart down, take off their reading glasses and look up at the popcorn ceilings as if they are trying to memorize a speech from college! And yet they have not given any eye contact for a professional ease that they are about to perform a procedure that should make me feel comfortable at the least! Instead, they rush the procedure like, BAM WHAM THANK YOU MAM! NEXT CATTLE, PLEASE?
Oh no!
On the contrary, when I went to see Dr. Spoon for the first time. He took me into his office for a one on one consultation. Never in my life, I have had a doctor take me into his office and sat down to talk about my medical history and any of my concerns that actually listened thoroughly and answered all of my queries in a softspoken and attentive manner!!! The consultation occurs before he even examines you and I must say… all doctors in the world should take notes from Dr. Spoon! He is amazing and even though my new insurance changed and Dr. Spoon’s office does not take new insurance, I will still go see Dr. Spoon and pay in full! It took me 14 years to find a very good Gynecologist and a las, I found someone who is professional, attentive and makes their patients feel comfortable to say the least!!!
5 Stars for Dr. Edward Spoon and staff!!!

Of course, I’m a biased patient, but I’m convinced that Dr. Spoon is THE best OB/​GYN in Vegas… hands down. Let’s face it ladies, it’s not like any aspect of this specialty is pleasant (unless you’re really twisted!), so to say that I never dread my annual, nor did I have a single bad experience during my entire pregnancy, says a lot. His staff is courteous and knowledgeable and unlike some OB/​GYN offices in town, the wait isn’t all that bad… maybe 45 min. tops, on a bad day. This doc is truly cream of the crop!
