Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Did not like at all
My IUD was due for replacing and I was scheduled to see Dr. Greiger for the procedure. First time visit and will be my last. Like some of the other reviews, she can be abrupt and doesn’t really listen to what you want. I had a new one inserted (same brand) and had problems ever since like massive pain and bleeding irregularly. Never had this problem before so I know Dr. Greiger did something wrong. Went to another obgyn to fix her mistake and been fine ever since.

Do not recommend for High risk pregnancy!!
I wouldn’t recommend her if having high risk pregnancy. I lost my healthy baby due to negligence in second trimester. She was always busy with patients and did not take the time answer all of my questions during her visits. I feel like I was not given due diligence in-spite of having complications.

Dr. Grieger was not my OBGYN during my pregnancy but she was the one who delivered my daughter after 36 hours of labor, 3 hours of pushing and a complicated C-section. I was a terrified first time mom and she calmed my nerves and talked me through every step. When she came to say goodbye after our 5 day stay at Newton Wellesley, I cried. I couldn’t have brought my daughter into the world without her and I’m forever grateful for her excellent bedside manner and professionalism.

Disappointing. For years I've had exceptional experiences at Planned Parenthood. However, I followed up with an OB-GYN regarding results and after months of scheduling, I was finally rescheduled with Dr. Greiger. Two weeks later, on the day of the procedure, I was asked to re-fax over the results (they were apparently lost) and asked to sign an agreement stating that myself and the physician both knew why I was having the procedure done. Once in the room, I was asked to leave my clothes on as Dr. Greiger had only JUST looked at my Hx results. She insisted that there was "no reason for me to be there," unprofessionally arguing that I was overreacting, despite following her colleague’s advice. After I complained that I had put down a procedural co-pay, she defensively said I could withdraw it. Walking out to the main office minutes later, she had already billed me for a "20-minute consultation." I called Billing and they immediately apologized, removing all the charges.

Dr. Greiger took care of me through my first pregnancy (twins) and now for our third, and she has been exceptional. She takes the time to answer every question and I always feel like she truly cares about me and my comfort and concerns. Her knowledge, warmth, and calm demeanor always make me feel at ease and that I am fully informed about my health. It is hard to find a doctor who is so easy to trust, and I would recommend her to anyone!

To the person below, a pap smear is part of a regular, healthy check of your body for cervical cancer - it does not matter (and has absolutely nothing to do with) if you are virgin or use tampons because you can develop cervical cancer without ever doing either. If you want preventative care for cancer then you get one. Yes it hurts and is scary the first time, but everyone experiences that, that's not something unique to your daughter.

My daughter saw this doctor. She was told she needed her first pap smear. My daughter is a virgin and does not use tampons. Dr. Greiger was rude and very abrupt with her and made her feel awful!! My daughter was scared, the procedure hurt, which actually she ended up not able to do, and when she asked my daughter if she wanted her to stop, she did and just left the room. She may be fine with adults who have been through this before, but I would NEVER recommend her for a first internal!!!

I have been a patient of Dr. Greiger for 3 1/2 years and through 2 pregnancies. I originally became a patient when she was at Southboro Medical Group and followed her to Wellesley Women's Care. While Wellesley Women's Care is farther away from my home, it is well worth the extra time spent driving. Dr. Greiger is extremely knowledgeable and always willing to spend the extra time to answer any/all questions. I can't recommend her highly enough!

First pregnancy? A miscarriage... TWINS!! Dr. Greiger has seen me through all of that & then some. She is the best! I'm honestly bummed that I won't see her as much now that hubby and I have decided our fam is complete. I followed her to her current practice & she has always taken the time & care to answer my annoyingly detailed questions and provide solutions to my many worries. Her sweet and calm personality are a perfect fit for me.

Dr. Greiger was my doctor for 3 of my pregnancies at Southboro Medical group! One resulted in a D&C which she preformed after the baby's heart beat stopped after 12 weeks. She performed a C section for both my daughters Briella and Amiyah who are now 6 and 3 :) And Dr. Grieger also performed a tubal ligation by request for permanent birth control. She is absolutely great! During every surgery she always made me feel like everything was going to be just fine.&Thanks to her everything always was!

After suffering a miscarriage at 16 weeks and having a horrible experience with my then current OB/Gyn, I had to go to the ER for an emergent D&C. Dr Greiger was the physician on call and she was nothing short of amazing. She was understanding, caring and listened to my questions and gave me full answers. I had a long road of recover and she was there for every question, no matter how big or small. I have since switched to her and will remain under care and Im so grateful for her!

My experience with Dr. Greiger was beyond unprofessional and disappointing. As someone who cannot take certain medications (including birth control) due to mental health issues, I left her office feeling extremely invalidated and discriminated against. She seemed annoyed by my situation and got overly defensive when we questioned her treatment plan. I have never felt so disrespected in my life. I would not reccomend her to anyone who takes medication for mental health issues.
