"In 2002 I found Spartan Medical Supply, It was the best thing to happen to me since my SCI. They ship me the correct supplies on time every month. If I am running low on something they always send me extra, no questions asked. They also bill my insurance directly and were able to waive my co-pay. Thank you for the great service Spartan Medical Supply."
