Biography:

Born and raised in sunny South Florida, Dr. Spence is a proud Florida native who has made Arkansas her home. From the age of five, she dreamed of becoming "the skating doctor," as she pursued her passion as an Olympic hopeful figure skater. Although injuries led her to shift her focus away from skating, they strengthened her resolve to become a physician, a role she's embraced wholeheartedly.

Dr. Spence had the privilege of attending a Caribbean medical school where the emphasis on physical exams and providing exceptional care with limited resources shaped her approach to medicine. This foundation instilled in her a patient-centered focus and the ability to form unguarded, meaningful relationships that guide her practice to this day.

Seven years ago, she moved to Arkansas to complete a residency in Family Medicine. Along the way, she met her now husband, and together, they enjoy traveling, golfing, skiing, surfing, and spending time with family.

Being part of a close-knit community hospital ignites her passion for making a difference. She is committed to serving and enriching the lives of those around her, and looks forward to continuing to be an asset to you and your family.
