Beach, mountains, or staycation?
Mountains, hands down, but I lived there, so it’s home. I do love the beach, and staying home is something I like to do now and then.

Advice for patients who feel nervous about the dentist
To my nervous patients, I like to listen and learn why they are nervous. Then, discuss that. Also, I like to make sure that they know that they are in control and we will stop whenever they need.

My hidden talent

My hidden/useless talent is remembering movie quotes. Also, I am very good at recognizing who is doing voice-overs.

Introvert or extrovert?
I am super introverted socially, but I have fun once I get my butt out with friends. Funny thing is I can talk your ear off.

A moment in my career I’ll never forget
Around my 3rd year of practice, an older gentleman named Fred became a patient. He was such a comic; I loved to tell my family and friends about our “adventures”.

Outside of the office
Eesh! Scary thought! LOL I think they would say that I’m goofy, good at my job and steady.

The Proof is in Our Patients

Iman Sheikh
Dr. Spal is an extraordinary healthcare provider. I recommend her. She's kind, considerate, and present. I had my first appointment and she checked in with me throughout my dental work, she worked in small breaks, Dr. Spal did not rush me and we still finished early.
Barry
Very good first visit with Dr Spal today. Explained what she was doing, got me out quickly, and everything was painless (although the work was fairly minor in nature). Very happy, certainly would recommend.
Becky Perfect
I was a little nervous about going to a new dentist after 20 years and I've been very happy with Dr.. Spal. She's great about letting you know exactly what she's doing with each step. Also, a big hour out to Diane!
Chris Klindt
From cleanings to more acute procedures the staff and Dr. Spal have carried themselves with integrity and true empathy and care. I recommend Dr. Spal’s practice to everyone and even have my immediate family now attending for all oral hygiene related procedures and care.
Sherman Madden
Dr. Spal and her staff are not just excellent at dental care, they are just as impressive with their people skills - a rarity in today's world. Dr. Spal is great at letting you know what task she's about to perform which puts me/you at ease. I strongly recommend their services. You'll be glad you did!
