Dr Speck is a consummate professional. She is a tenacious advocate and definitely the person I want directing something as important as my cardiac care. Dr. Speck‘s attention to detail and perseverance, was in my opinion the soul reason that I avoided a potentially very bad outcome. She will be my primary cardiologist for as long as as she is practicing and I am here. Thank You Dr Speck David S

I have been Dr. Speck’s patient for six years. I have a family history of cardiovascular disease, and so have worked with her to manage and improve my overall cardiovascular health. Dr. Speck is a very skilled, empathetic, and supportive holistic medical practitioner. She brings a 360-degree perspective to her medical practice, which includes not only important medical therapy, but also a science-backed exercise regimen, and an empirically supported nutritional program. This complementary triad of medication, exercise and diet is the elixir that I think we all want to adopt, and I know I am so much healthier for having done so, under the guidance of a leading and caring specialist. When you know what heart rate interval to exercise at and the concomitant benefits, it becomes easier to put on those running shoes. Or when you know the impact certain foods might have on your metabolism and health, it becomes easier to adopt a food protocol. I particularly find Dr. Speck to be very attentive and a keen listener. She is willing to listen to my problem and desired goals and then patiently debate possible solutions. In addition to the mandatory blood analysis, I have also undertaken the VO2 Max test and the CIMT test to learn more about the physiology of my body. I have then sought her counsel to make changes to my lifestyle to improve my health and prevent cardiovascular problems. Recent tests have been revealing and I am eternally grateful for her advice and encouragement. I consider myself very fortunate to be under her care. And of course thankyou to the staff at Dr. Speck’s clinic, including Kathleen, Steve and Maureen, who are always helpful and respond with alacrity.

This review is based upon nine years of care by Dr. Speck. I’m one of those patients who asks many questions. I want to learn about the “why” behind the recommendations. Dr. Speck unfailingly met all my medical needs including my curiosity. She is not simply a superb practitioner. She has created a new form of healthcare that integrates your diet, exercise and self care issues into her practice. Very few cardiologists do this and fewer still do it with her skill and the skill of her very capable staff. I think she is quietly setting a standard for what heart care should be. I feel very lucky to be her patient. John Kydd

Dr Speck, and her staff, Maureen and Kathleen are awesome! Very attentive, attention to detail, and welcoming. Dr Speck is an attentive listener, and gives thoughtful suggestions based upon the specific needs of the patient. You have Dr Speck’s undivided attention when speaking with her, which is becoming a rarity in medical practices. I am an active and fit guy in my late 60’s, and saw Dr Speck initially for some cardiac concerns. A careful workup was done, including an in office VO2 max exam, and extensive bloodwork. She made helpful recommendations based upon this data, tailored to my individual needs. She also had excellent referrals for some troublesome joint issues, which are now much improved. I would heartily recommend, without reservation, Dr Speck and her outstanding staff.

Dr. Speck is a very experienced & knowledgeable doc with specialties in cardiology & internal medicine. Her advise is caring and practical. I have had a lot going on in my life & forgot to fast for my blood draw.

I have been under Dr Sarah Speck’s care since early 2002. At that time, and after careful consideration, she recommended that I undergo triple bypass surgery. She also suggested that I might explore living a more balanced life. As a mental health professional I knew the veracity of that idea. While I had an academic understanding that a life without mindfulness lacks balance, and without balance to symptoms of disease. It wasn’t until Dr. Speck pointed it out that I became aware of what a slippery slope I was on. It was her openness to the concept of “Balance” that led me to explore the importance of developing personal and professional limits. As a result of my exposure to Speck Health and the POTENTRx model of wellness, I’ve developed an improved perspective regarding effective techniques for wellness. Among other things, I spend an hour each week working with one of the Exercise Physiologists at POTENTRx. I am impressed with the professionalism, compassion, and consideration shown by everyone on the Speck Health team. As a result of the encouragement and professional guidance I receive each week, I now experience major, measurable improvement to my health. My sincerest thank you to the Speck Health/POTENTRx team,

I am an ACSM certified exercise physiologist and have worked in cardiac rehab/wellness for the past 19 years. I have always been pretty active and have worked to incorporate exercise into my weekly routine. Last year I turned 40 and wanted to prove to myself that I could do something I had not yet done in life. I trained for and ran a half-marathon. I did find myself in somewhat better running shape. However, I also found that my cholesterol levels were not within the guidelines. Due to my family history of dyslipidemia, I was concerned about this. I turned to Potentrx for guidance on how to best exercise to lower my cholesterol and to get in to better shape. Despite my best efforts on my own, my results had not been what I wanted. I met with the kind and professional staff at Potentrx. They worked with me to develop my personalized exercise plan. This plan is based upon the results of the extensive testing I did with them. The exercise physiologists there helped to come up with an exercise routine which I can fit into my family, work, and ferry commute schedule. They were great at answering my questions and discussing the results of each test with me. I am very appreciative of the kindness and care I have been shown at Potentrx. From the scheduling of the appointments to checking in, to the actual appointments and testing, each staff member did their best to make me feel welcome. Whether one’s exercise goal is performance or health related, I would highly recommend Potentrx. It is individualized and it works. Thank you Potentrx!

Dr. Speck has been my cardiologist since about 2002. Besides being a wonderful and caring person (unfortunately many physicians are not), she is tenacious in her approach to treatment.
