For 30 years we had a wonderful, caring family doctor. Then he retired. When I checked out Sparta Spectrum I had a good feeling about Dr. Heather McGovern who was a new young doctor. We feel lucky to have found her and that she accepted both my husband and myself. She is knowledgeable and encouraging to us eighty something. My husband, especially has had multiple cancers and surgeries the last five years . I wish all doctors were like her! .
