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.

He didn’t even make eye contact with me. Seemed much more interested in his little tablet . He made me feel ugly and unliked. Whatever happened to the.“ first do no harm.“

Not a physician you want for your PCP
Your visit with Dr. Grainger will leave you absolutely underwhelmed. He doesn't ask you any questions, doesn't listen to you, just spends his time scrolling on a little computer tablet. Any exam you receive will be cursory at best and his notes in your file may or may not be accurate. His goal seems to be moving you through as quickly as possible so he can get to the next patient. Dr. Grainger may have been a good physician in the past, but it's time for him to retire.

I changed to Dr Grainger in January 2020 and had a couple of routine office visits. I was hospitalized with a GI bleed in December and Dr Grainger came in three times to see me. He was fully informed about what the GI doc had found and consulted with the GI doc, my cardiologist and my oncologist to coordinate medication changes. Very well done.

It seems that I am not the only victim of the very masculine and aggressive office manager. She is THE nastiest person in Ocala. Because I was a victim of identity theft I cover part of my d.l. number. I asked to not have it uncovered. When the manager heard this she was on the conversation ready for a fight. Almost I wanted was an explanation and assurances to my privacy. Instead she took my card out of the receptionists hand and informed.me that I will.not be seen by the doctor. When questioned and told that she was being nasty she said and I quite, "I'm not being nasty but I will have you removed." I was not being rude or aggressive. I walked out when she felt it necessary to educate me. I HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND!

The other reviews I have seen are surprising because I have had much better treatment with him than I did with my former GP. I guess I got lucky in that Dr. Grainger listens to what I'm asking, looks at me when he is talking to me, and his staff have been wonderful.

He either over looked or ignored a report from the Emergency room on my husband and consequently it was a CT scan that showed a mass in my husbands thymus gland and after we went to a different doctor with the report, it turns out to be cancer. Then when I asked for his records for a new doctor, they purged the chart and practically gave us nothing. He should be banned from practice.

I didn’t go to my visit because I read bad reviews. Turns out the bad reviews are true. They harass you and don’t care why you missed your appointment. Then when they call they give attitude and curse at you

Staff was horrible. The office manager of 14 years said to my husband “Get him out of here”. Have never experienced anything like this ever in my lifetime and this was supposed to be our first visit but luckily we will never ever go there again!!!

My experience was completely unsatisfactory. The head nurse was abusive and she decided to get Dr. Grainger to discharge me. Despite the fact that my new doctor could not refill my prescriptions until he (new MD) sees me. Dr. Grainger disallowed ANY refills, even of meds I must take daily. Most staff were okay, but someone should look into Dr. Grainger’s license & his unbelievably abusive behaviors towards patients as well as the head nurse who is psychologically malignant (read Scott Peck, MD’s book on this). I hope that someone looks into this pair inasmuch as so many complaints have been raised.

Just wanted to get my prescription's for pain killers renewed; the same pain killers I have been taking for 10 years. Was told by their staff to remove Dr. Granger as my primary physician. God help you if you busted your back all your life. Obviously people who sit on their fat rear ends all their lives don't understand that. They look at you like you are a leper. Don't waste your benefits on this jerk.
