Fantastic experience: I love my monthly facials with Megan. It’s the most relaxing experience and I feel good knowing that she uses products that are non toxic and actually good for my skin. She also takes the time to educate me on things regarding my skin ( and so much more too - but that’s just a bonus).
Thank you so much! We're so glad you enjoy your monthly facials with Megan and appreciate our clean, skin-loving products. She loves sharing her knowledge and helping you feel your best!
Fantastic experience: I felt as though the traditional medical system was failing. Going to Spruce MD is a breath of fresh air.

Fantastic experience: Spruce MD is a wonderful place, and I can't say enough good things about Cynthia Boswell. From my very first visit, she made me feel completely at ease. Cynthia is not only incredibly knowledgeable, but she also takes the time to listen to her clients. I never feel rushed or dismissed—she listens attentively to the symptoms I describe and answers my questions without judgment. It's a great comfort to have a provider who fosters a supportive and trusting environment.
Thank you for the wonderful review! We're so happy to hear that Cynthia has created a space where you feel comfortable, supported, and truly listened to. It's our priority to provide thoughtful, personalized care, and we're grateful you’ve trusted us to be part of your health journey.
Fantastic experience: Our family loves Dr. Shiffman. She has taken the very best care of us the past 7 years in both Virginia and North Carolina (she is licensed to see virtual patients in these states, as well as South Carolina). We truly appreciate her active listening skills, holistic approach to wellness, and knowledgeable treatment recommendations. Last year, I was experiencing annoying pulsatile tinnitus that affected my sleep every night. After a few unhelpful visits to an ENT doctor, Dr. Shiffman made the connection to low iron. She suggested an over-the-counter iron supplement and a few weeks later, the pulsing stopped and has never returned. Thinking outside of the box and partnering with her patients for their optimal health, Dr. Shiffman is a truly a gifted and personable physician!
Thank you so much for this thoughtful and detailed review! We're so happy to hear how well you and your family have been cared for by Dr. Shiffman over the years. Her ability to listen deeply, think holistically, and truly partner with her patients is exactly what we aim for at Spruce MD. We're thrilled to hear your symptoms resolved and that you're feeling better. Thank you for trusting us with your care!
Fantastic experience: I came to Spruce MD frustrated, tired and defeated. Dr Blankenship took me in, found the source of issues, turned over every stone, and slowly brought me back to health. She is still turning over stones and wants me to live my best in my best health. Highly recommend you give her a call.
Thank you so much for your heartfelt review! We’re so glad you found the care and answers you were looking for with Dr. Blankenship. Your journey is exactly why we do what we do—helping patients feel seen, supported, and truly well.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been a patient at Spruce MD for 9 months, and working with Cynthia Boswell has been transformative. When I first came to Cynthia, I was struggling with sleep, stress, digestion, and hormone issues. Cynthia’s expertise in hormone and thyroid health, along with her functional medicine approach, meant she truly listened and focused on finding the root causes—not just masking symptoms. She provided the one-on-one care and support I needed, and now I feel like myself again. I highly recommend Cynthia to anyone looking for a compassionate, knowledgeable provider who is dedicated to helping you feel your best.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear how much progress you’ve made with Cynthia’s care. It’s our goal to truly listen and support each patient, and we’re so glad you’re feeling like yourself again.

Fantastic experience: I have been attending Spruce MD for the past two years. Cynthia Bosewell is the most compassionate and amazing nurse practitioner I have ever seen. Her knowledge is above all other physicians I’ve seen. She makes herself available and takes her time to come up with appropriate care. I am grateful for her support.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback and for trusting Spruce MD over the past two years! We’re so glad Cynthia’s compassionate care and expertise have made such a positive impact on your health journey. Your gratitude means a lot to us!
Fantastic experience: I started seeing Cynthia last year and she is definitely one of the best Nurse Practioners EVER! I am a nurse who is very picky and have been very unhappy with many NPs in the past because I felt they did not have a good understanding of what they needed to do or sufficient experience. Cynthia thoroughly explains everything and has referred me out when needed unlike my previous provider who told me I was tired because I was old. I highly recommend SpruceMD- the providers and staff are there to take care of patients and it shows.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re proud Cynthia’s thorough and caring approach has made such a difference. Your trust means a lot to all of us at Spruce MD!
Fantastic experience: I had a three month follow up with Cynthia Boswell today. In the year that I have been in this practice, I’ve learned to really love Cynthia for her calm and gentle manner. She’s an amazing listener. I always feel heard.
We’re so grateful to have you as part of our Spruce MD community. We’re glad to hear Cynthia’s calm and gentle approach makes you feel truly heard and supported. It’s a privilege to be part of your health journey!
Fantastic experience: Cynthia is both experienced and smart. She helped untangle a difficult diagnosis and devised a therapeutic regimen that was mostly non-pharmacological. Other doctors took my BCBS, but spruce was well worth the cash payment.
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re glad Cynthia could provide the personalized care and thoughtful approach you needed. It means a lot to hear that our focus on root-cause healing made a difference for you. We truly appreciate your trust in Spruce MD!

Thank you for the wonderful review! We’re so glad to hear Cynthia helped you find answers and made you feel truly cared for.
Fantastic experience: Cynthia Boswell goes above and beyond when dealing with my health. I have had a lot of bad experiences with other doctors because they don’t listen to my concerns or they are rude. Cynthia listens to my concerns and offers me different opinions and investigates with me to find a root cause. She always remembers and asks follow up questions on how my health is going. Cynthia does a great job
We’re so glad to hear that Cynthia’s care has made such a positive difference. Her thoughtful, patient-centered approach is exactly what we aim for at Spruce MD. Thank you for your kind review and for trusting us with your health!
Fantastic experience: Great staff !! Amazing Providers
Thank you for the 5-star rating! We truly appreciate your support and are grateful to be part of your healthcare journey.
Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend Cynthia Boswell highly enough. She brings together the rare combination of deep clinical knowledge, thoughtful listening, and a genuine sense of care. Every appointment feels like a collaboration, not a transaction. I never feel rushed, dismissed, or reduced to a checklist. What makes her practice especially valuable is that it’s outside the constraints of insurance-based medicine. Without the red tape and rushed appointments typical of traditional healthcare, she’s able to focus on real root-cause healing. I’ve experienced more insight, attention, and progress in a few visits here than in years of bouncing around conventional offices. Kind. Considerate. Incredibly sharp. If you’re looking for a provider who treats the whole person and not just the symptoms, this is the place.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful and heartfelt review. We're honored to hear how much Cynthia's care has meant to you. Her commitment to truly listening, addressing root causes, and creating a collaborative experience is exactly what we strive for at Spruce MD.

Fantastic experience: I started with Spruce MD when my husband & I retired to Greenville in 2020, right in the middle of Covid. We had no physician & I wanted a fresh start with someone who looked at the body from a holistic viewpoint. I was thrilled to find Spruce MD & Dr. Mary Brittain Blankenship. While our first appointment was virtual, it was extremely thorough. I was impressed & signed on for the long haul. I've now been going to Dr. Blankenship now for 5 years. My labs are WAY better. Cholesterol is down, blood pressure is under control, inflammation markers low. I've lost weight. I feel much better! Dr. Blankenship is smart, is up-to-date on the latest information & cares about you as a person. Besides Dr. Blankenship being a wonderful physician, Spruce MD has a great support staff. I can't say enough about their nutritionist Katherine Taylor, as well as their patient coordinator (right-hand woman) Rebecca Milling. Highly recommend Spruce MD Integrative Medicine.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We are thrilled to hear how much progress you have made in your health over the past five years. Your journey is truly inspiring. It is incredibly rewarding to know that Dr. Blankenship’s integrative approach and the support from our team have made such a positive difference in your well-being.

Fantastic experience: As a patient for 5+ years, I would encourage anyone that wants a truly proactive versus reactive healthcare approach to go to SpruceMD. Dr. B is kind and thoughtful and thorough. Investing in your health is hard/costly with many mountains and valleys, and I feel so lucky to have found a practitioner that walks beside you on the journey, never making you feel less than or not enough as you figure it out together.

Thank you for your kind words! We’re so glad to hear you’re loving the team here at Spruce MD.
Fantastic experience: I was able to become a patient with Spruce MD because Dr. Schiffman is licensed in Virginia. The virtual appointments are very easy to do. She’s a doctor that takes the time to listen and is always looking for ways to improve my overall health. The support staff is so nice as well!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Schiffman knows her stuff and takes her time with you. She’s very thorough, and you can tell she cares about her patients. I saw her for menopause related issues, and she was able to help me with many symptoms, including an irregular heart rate that was hormone related.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience! We're so pleased to hear that Dr. Shiffman was able to help you find relief and answers for these issues. Her thorough and compassionate approach is something many patients value, and we're glad it resonated with you. We're honored to be part of your care and truly appreciate your kind words!

I absolutely recommend anyone who wants to take control of their gut health so you can start to feel a better version of you to see Katherine.

Fantastic experience: Both of the practitioners I have seen so far have been kind, thorough, and curious in working with me to improve my health. Curiosity is so important because it means that they listen, are willing to think outside the box, and work collaboratively as opposed to a cookie cutter approach. The front desk staff are super helpful, all appointments start on time, and the communication between appointments is top notch. I would highly recommend Spruce Health if you're looking to take a more functional / holistic approach to your health in addition to (or instead of) a conventional medicine approach.

Fantastic experience: SpruceMD has been such a huge blessing to my life and health journey. Cynthia Boswell is the best doctor I have ever encountered on my autoimmune journey. She is extremely knowledgeable, patient, kind, understanding, and has been a huge help in navigating and understanding the various components of my health. I highly recommend Cynthia as well as this practice. The front desk staff is awesome as well and the office itself is beautiful and relaxing... it looks and feels like you're at a spa. Overall I have had a fabulous experience at Spruce.
We're thrilled to hear you have had such a positive experience at Spruce MD! Thanks for sharing!
Fantastic experience: I’ve only had a few sessions with Cynthia Boswell so far, however, I can confidently say that she is personable, truly cares, and is a great listener. I feel very supported by her in my wellness journey. She is knowledgeable, pleasant and easy to interact with. She focuses on running necessary tests so as not to turn my care into a financial burden given my current life circumstances. I appreciate her very much and highly recommend :) excited to incorporate the protocols she has recommended to help me feel better and improve my quality of life. May God bless Cynthia always.
Thanks for sharing your positive experience with us! We are grateful that you chose Spruce MD to assist you with your health and wellness.
Positive experience: Getting healthy is a personal responsibility. You have to do your own research as well as get diagnosis and advice from a practice like Spruce. It has been a long journey... initially working through perceived food sensitivities, to possible histamine overload, to gastritis and now to pancreatic enzyme insufficiency. I would have liked to get through these diagnosis faster, because all the data was there, but I am thankful I'm making progress. I never would have gotten this far with my standard doctor. They were helpless & clueless diagnosing my issues. But as I said, do your research, ask questions and FOLLOW THE PROTOCOLS to get healthy. A practice like Spruce can help you feel good again.
We appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review. Thanks!!
Fantastic experience: After becoming bedridden post long covid, Dr. Blankenship and the staff at Spruce helped me recover and eventually become the healthiest I’ve ever been. They didn’t just improve my quality of life, in many ways they saved my life. I’ll be forever grateful for the care from Spruce
It is wonderful to hear your positive experience at Spruce MD! Thanks for sharing!
Fantastic experience: The people at Spruce MD are kind and considerate. I’ve been with Katherine Taylor for over a year and she’s been a great help to me

We are so excited to hear you have had such a positive experience at Spruce MD. Thank you for sharing!
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Spruce MD! I see both Dr Shiffman and Katherine Taylor. I am happy to be more aware of the root of my problems and not just treating my symptoms. I am working on my way to a healthier me and I feel confident in both of these providers! The whole office from the time you check in to the time you check out always makes you feel so welcome and I know that I am not “just another patient”. Any time I have a question or concern they promptly respond and take care of any need. Healthcare has really taken a nosedive with the big companies taking over the private practices. This makes having such a patient centered practice that takes the time to get to know you and actually spend the time to do so a huge sigh of relief. I never feel rushed or feeling like I didn’t get my answers to my healthcare questions. I can’t say enough about this whole team!
Thank you for the detailed review. We are trying to create an "experience" instead of just another clinic visit at Spruce and am glad you experienced that. We additionally work hard to get to the root cause of medical issues instead of just providing a "pill for every ill." Thank you for trusting Spruce MD!
Fantastic experience: Cynthia Boswell is awesome! She is very bright and a great listener, I highly recommend.
Thanks for the stellar review!
Fantastic experience: If you're looking for personalized care, this is the place to go. I've been quite impressed with the care and concern from everyone at Spruce. I see Jeanne Shiffman for my healthcare and can't say enough about how much she listens and responds to my concerns and questions. I've also started seeing Megan for skincare and look forward to starting monthly treatments with her. Next is my dietician appointment with Katherine. I have no doubt I will see the same great results as with all the other providers in the office.
We love to hear of these positive experiences! We strive to provide a different and welcoming approach to care here at Spruce MD.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Shiffman is outstanding. She's professional, yet very personable and listens to all your concerns. She's helped me tremendously in my health journey with HRT, gut health, and overall health needs. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to take a functional, holistic and traditional medical approach to health.
We appreciate you taking the time to give us this fantastic review. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Dr Shiffman is wonderful. She paid close attention to the details of my medical history, gives generous time for appointments, and made me feel like a person and not a medical file.
We are so glad you had a stellar experience with Spruce MD! Thanks for the love!
Fantastic experience: I've been seeing Dr. Blankenship now for 4 years. Her comprehensive evaluation standards helped identify my hemochromatosis and HBP. She's thorough, thinks outside the box, and takes a holistic approach to medicine. I'd highly recommend Dr. Blankenship and the team at SpruceMD.
Thank you for sharing your positive experience with us. We appreciate your support!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Blankenship is extremely thorough and genuinely wants to find the root cause of my health issues. I am thankful to have Spruce MD as part of my healthcare team.
Getting at the underlying driver of disease is definitely our mission. Thanks for entrusting Spruce MD with your care!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been with Spruce (Dr.Shiffman) for a couple of years now. I can honestly say that this is one of the best mid-life decisions I have made. I know that my health has improved tremendously from what it was. Dr. Shiffman is very approachable, attentive and kind. She can really “think outside the box” to help reclaim your health. You need to follow through with the treatment plan of course, but it’ll be worth it!
Thanks for sharing your positive experience with us! We are grateful that you chose Spruce MD to assist you with your health and wellness.
Fantastic experience: I am a very pleased patient of Dr. Mary Brittain Blankenship! She is very thorough in assessing my health. She is encouraging and helpful, and she never seems to be aggravated with my questions. She cares about my well-being, as well as my health. I am grateful to have her in my life. - Marti Richardson
Thank you for your kind words and support of Spruce MD!
Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Spruce MD enough!! After 10 months of suffering with gastrointestinal and hormonal issues following my first bout with COVID-19, I gave up on trying to find a doctor in the traditional medical system here who could actually help. I found Spruce MD and I've been with them ever since because I have never before felt so cared for by a medical practice. Their front desk staff are always so kind and attentive - I mean they will truly go the extra mile to make sure you have what you need. Dr. Shiffman saw me surprisingly fast (no waiting MONTHS for appointments!) and was quick to find the culprits of my symptoms. Not only did she listen intently to my concerns, but she validated the difficult symptoms I was dealing with AND she was really up-to-date in the latest research on gut & hormone health, so she knew how to treat me. My health condition has been consistently improving in working with her and Katherine Taylor (dietician). Together they have not only saved my digestion - but have given me back a quality of life I hadn't seen in a LONG time. I am so incredibly grateful to have found this medical practice and cannot recommend them enough!
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us! We are passionate about providing our patients with a different medical experience than the traditional medical system can offer. We are thrilled to hear about the positive changes in your health! Thank you for entrusting Spruce MD with your health.
Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Dr. Blankenship since 2020. She has always been great, listened to my needs and helped try to get to the root cause of my health issues. Highly recommend if you want a more natural way of healing
Thank you for your positive review! We strive to give our patients the most personalized care at Spruce MD with a focus on lifestyle changes before writing out prescriptions.
Fantastic experience: My wife and I are both members at Spruce MD, and Dr. Shiffman has been fantastic for both of us! I appreciate being able to speak directly to the doctor, and not jumping through hoops with insurance. I have, and will continue, to recommend Dr. Shiffman to anyone in search of a primary care physician.
Thank you for your kind words! Removing insurance as the middleman allows us to spend quality time with each of our patients to deliver preventative and root-cause medical care. We appreciate your support!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Blankenship is truly one of the most knowledgeable providers I have ever been to, especially when it comes to chronic illness or misdiagnoses. After being dismissed from multiple doctors, I am grateful she not only is treating properly, but actually takes the time to hear the full story and tackle the root cause. Everyone at Spruce is intentional, kind, and are problem-solvers.
We're thrilled to hear you have had such a positive experience at Spruce MD! Given our practice is built around root cause medicine, we're also glad to know we are doing our jobs well and achieving that goal.
Fantastic experience: I had the best facial with Megan! She is very knowledgeable, non-judgmental, and amazing at what she does. Highly recommend.
Thanks for sharing your positive experience with us, Erica. We agree! Megan is amazing, and we are thrilled you enjoyed your time with her.
Fantastic experience: Dr Blankenship is awesome. I switched after another doctor wanted me to go in statins. Dr Blankenship worked with me to get my labs down to normal levels across the board without being on prescriptions. Also never feel rushed at the appointments. She’s willing to spend as much time as we need to work through everything. I’ve recommended her to several friends and they love her too.
Jeff, thank you for your kind review and for recommending Spruce MD to your friends! We prioritize spending quality time with our patients to really get to the root cause of medical issues, and it's always rewarding to hear our patient's success stories. Thanks for sharing!

Kristi, thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us! We are grateful that you chose Spruce to assist you with your health and wellness.
Negative experience: $625 initial new patient visit and doesn't accept any insurance
Hi Carrie, yes we are a cash pay practice. By not taking insurance, this allows us to have longer appointments with patients (60 minutes instead of the typical 10 minutes), so we can really get to the root cause of medical issues. Insurance companies don't typically reimburse for preventative care and we work hard to stop disease before it begins as well as reverse medical issues that have already been diagnosed. Our pricing is stated on our website for full transparency. You may be interested in making an appointment so you can experience the difference in medical care that our team provides versus a typical insurance driven medical practice.
Fantastic experience: I have had two visits with Katherine and I have been very impressed with her knowledge, compassion, and desire to help. Patrice
Thank you!
Fantastic experience: It was great to have a doctor who took the time to throughly go through my history and get my feelings in what was going on. Looking forward to my follow up visit!
Thanks for sharing your positive experience!
Fantastic experience: I am a new patient at Spruce M.D. and I love the experience! Dr. Blankenship is amazing and the staff all so wonderful. Every appointment is so personalized and I feel that I know more about what is happening medically with my body than ever before. It’s great!!
We're so glad you found us!
Fantastic experience: The team at Spruce MD is fantastic! Dr. Blankenship is smart, genuine, and a great listener - you can tell she truly cares about her patients. She spends ample time with you at each visit, thoroughly answers all questions, and works to get to know you as a person, beyond your health concerns. The Spruce MD integrative approach seeks to get to the root of your health issues, rather than just masking symptoms - so refreshing! Can’t say enough good things about this practice, and everyone involved. So grateful to be under their care!
Annie! Thanks for entrusting Spruce MD with your care. Getting at the underlying driver of disease is definitely our mission. Thank you for your kind words!
Fantastic experience: Love the whole team! I’ve been with them for 2 years. I appreciate the multi-faceted approach to healing my body, the ability to reach them when I need help, the fact that they value my opinion, the way they look at all the parts of my body together, the alternative testing and treatment options, so many things!
Hi Melinda, a whole person approach to health care is incredibly important, otherwise it is just fractionated medical care treating each individual symptom. Thank you for entrusting Spruce MD with your health!
Fantastic experience: Really pleased to see Dr. Blankenship's comprehensive approach to wellness. I'm a big believer in proactive and preventative care and she lives what she shares with her patients. So grateful to have her provide this approach in Greenville.
Thank you for your feedback! We definitely value focusing on prevention at Spruce MD.
Fantastic experience: I am just in the beginning stages of my health journey with Spruce MD, but I already feel comfortable asking questions knowing they will answer my questions with patience and concern. Madia and the office staff are always super helpful, Katherine is guiding me in my nutrition journey, and Dr. Blankenship is taking me through the steps to finding out the root cause of my symptoms. I look forward to seeing positive changes in my health with Spruce MD!
It is wonderful to hear your positive experience at Spruce MD! Thanks for sharing!
Fantastic experience: I’ve heard integrative medicine described as “thinking and linking,” the medicine of why, restoring normal function. For over 8 years I’ve been searching for answers to my gut issues, and I am finally getting answers at Spruce MD from this wonderful, powerful integrative medicine team. Dr. Blankenship, Katherine the dietician, and Madia have been so knowledgeable and helpful every step of the way to healing and living better AND making better choices! I am so grateful for them! Please keep doing what you’re doing! You make a huge difference!
Thank you for your feedback and support of our practice!
Fantastic experience: I joined last fall seeking medical professionals that would help me address the root issues of my hypertension and pre-diabetes. My primary concern was avoiding any additional medications and getting off the ones currently prescribed for me. I could not be more pleased with the results I saw immediately. Dr. Blankenship and I discussed my lifestyle practices and she recommend several adjustments along with key supplements. As I integrated those changes into my daily practices my blood pressure dropped drastically. It’s been within normal ranges most days for months now. I look forward to working with her to start the process of moving away from current hypertension meds. On. A parallel track I’ve been meeting with Katherine to work on refining my diet and water consumption. She has helped me identify changes that are putting me on a path towards eating better, more mindfully, without dieting. The result of this work has been a loss of 13 lbs over the past couple of months. I’m learning how to master healthy eating for the rest of my life. Katherine also has a magic machine that provides a wealth of data on my physical status that I’ve grown very fond of I very highly recommend Spruce MD for those looking to get to the root of chronic issues quickly and permanently! This is one of the best investments I’ve ever made!!!
It is very rewarding to see patients make positive changes in their health and get back to the things they love doing! Thanks for the Spruce MD love!
Fantastic experience: LOVE SPRUCE! So thankful for a proactive place to have multi-faceted integrative care...that’s actually effective! Highly recommend!!

Fantastic experience: Spruce MD is a wonderful new system of health care. Dr. Mary Brittain Blankenship is accomplished MD with an eye towards wholistic medicine. She doesn't just treat the symptoms but the person. She has the ability to provide any medical help needed but also tries to get to the root of the problem with other solutions that may include lifestyle change, diet, and supplements. With Dr. Blankenship you get more than a doctor, you have an advocate.
Treating the whole person is definitely a focus of Spruce MD. Thank you for your feedback!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Blankenship is a breath of fresh air to the Upstate healthcare community! She is dedicated to doing more than just masking your symptoms, but getting to the root cause of your problems. She is very thorough and doesn't rush you out the door. She takes the time to get to know you as a person and wants to build a life-long relationship with her patients. If you're tired of how you've been treated by other providers or you are simply looking for a new physician, there is no one in the Upstate more dedicated to her patients than Dr. Blankenship!
Thank you for your kind review! We definitely try to give the most personalized care at Spruce MD, with a focus on lifestyle changes before just handing over prescriptions.
