Meet A. Roland Spedale Jr., MD, FACP


My objective has always been to focus on providing personal attention for my patient's individual healthcare and well-being. I have learned over the last 15 plus years that really listening to my patients gives me the opportunity to provide ideal care. Letting the patient speak is fast disappearing from medical practice that has become cluttered with institutions, systems, and rules that distract from patient care.

As an MDVIP-affiliated physician, I have the time and resources that allow me to formulate a wellness plan that will help you achieve your health goals. Whether you are dealing with acute or chronic conditions, we will carefully and proactively individualize your treatment providing clear explanation of your options.

In my practice, we create a stronger doctor-patient relationship which enhances your personalized medical care and allows you to achieve optimal health. We will compassionately partner together to maximize wellness and experience an improved quality of life. My interests include patient education, healthy nutrition and exercise, as well as risk assessments/treatments for diabetes, coronary disease and stroke prevention.

Frequently Asked Questions

Doctors who operate in the MDVIP models typically see far fewer patients than traditional primary care doctors. That gives them more time to develop deeper doctor-patient relationships that can lead to better outcomes. They can also offer conveniences that most primary care doctors can’t, including same- and next-day appointments. They’re available after hours for urgent matters. And they have time to focus on prevention. That focus begins with the MDVIP Wellness Program, which patients pay for with their annual membership fee.

Most MDVIP-affiliated primary care practices accept insurance (your physician can tell you whether they accept your specific insurance plan). Your annual fee pays for preventive care medical services that insurance usually doesn’t cover (e.g., advanced diagnostic testing and screenings). Your MDVIP-affiliated physician will continue to bill your insurance and charge copays, co-insurances and deductibles as he or she currently does for other medical services like sick visits.

MDVIP makes wellness and prevention easier by providing your physician with innovative tools and technology. MDVIP supports your physician’s practice and seeks to eliminate barriers to a positive healthcare experience. Your doctor will determine whether and how to incorporate these tools at his/her discretion.

Testimonials from patients of A. Roland Spedale Jr., MD, FACP

Dr. Spedale

from Renae in AL • March 18, 2024
My story began on 2/26/2022, the night that I had a TIA. I spent 2 nights in the hospital. It was one of the scariest moments of my life. I was 53 and never in my life dreamed this would happen to me. I have a wonderful loving husband, son, and daughter. They witnessed all this happening. This too was extremely hard on them. I thank sweet Jesus that I had no permanent injuries. I could only think Read more...

Auto Accident and Trip to ER

from George in AL • March 11, 2024
After being rear ended in September 2013 I made a trip to our local ER. Dr Spedale was there rounding on patients. He checked in on me and one thing lead to another. The tests he performed lead him to conclude that further evaluation was necessary. One thing led to another and 24 hours later I had triple bypass surgery.
His intervention probably saved me from a heart attack. Many thanks.

Early discovery of prostate cancer

from Joseph in AL • March 10, 2024
In 2009, Dr. Spedale noticed my PSA (I think that was the item) numbers increased quite a bit over the previous year. He immediately got me an appointment with Dr. Judd Williams (Urologist) and he diagnosed me with prostate cancer. Dr. Williams performed surgery in September 2009 and I have been cancer free since. Dr. Spedale's early detection has meant everything to me and my family. Read more...

Mary Moote

from Mary in AL • March 9, 2024
I am VERY pleased with R. Spedale in Dothan, Alabama. He cares about his patients, listens to them and looks out
for what it best for them. I couldn't ask for a better doctor. My son also uses Dr. Spedale and he feels the same toward
him as I do!

He's the Best!

from Carolyn in AL • February 22, 2024
Our doctor, Anthony Spedale, looks after me and my husband better than we do! He is proactive and deeply interested in our health even though we are "deemed too old to waste time on". He has found so many problems with our health that we would have let go with disastrous results. My husband's brain hematoma for one.
We have never needed him when we had to wait for an Read more...
