While he is happy to have returned to his roots with his wife and daughter, Dr. Spearman also asserts, “I’m so excited to be a part of the amazing tradition that has been established here at Scott & Christie. And that means maintaining the highest standard of patient care as well as staying at the very forefront of ophthalmology.” To that end, Dr. Spearman will be providing the latest in glaucoma treatment.
