About Alissa Speziale, MD
Appointments for Sharp Rees-Stealy Gastroenterologists are by referral from a Sharp Rees-Stealy primary care physician only. Working with a patient to improve their health and quality of life and prevent illness is a privilege. I enjoyed doing this for the United States Navy for 10 years and now look forward to serving the Sharp community as well.

Dr. Espezale, is very informative. She even got through to this old Army brat. A little humor between her and I. (HA- HA! )
