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.

Arrogant and uncaring
Was nearly one hour late. Did not introduce himself, did not listen, interrupted a lot, didn’t get my questions answered. Since I’m a low-revenue patient (I don’t need surgery) I was clearly wasting his time. Showed no interest in helping me. And I’m still in pain with no solution in sight.

Shoulder Repair
Dr. Gramstad repaired by left shoulder and did a great job. Up front, he told me what needed fixing and what all was involved. He did the surgery on April 1 and now at July 22 I am almost back to normal. I would recommend Dr. Gramstad to anyone that needed to have a shoulder repaired.

Cannot recommend this Dr to treat anyone. 45 min late seeing me. Most condescending throughout the entire visit, which lasted no more than 10 minutes. Claimed he would not fix an issue because I am a post menopausal woman. Then abruptly ended the visit when I questioned him. Not interested in my quality of life or ability to return to previous functions. In fact seemed “bothered” seeing me at all. Cannot be more unhappy with the medical care. The rest of the staff is great. But a caring and compassionate doctor is also important. This Doctor did not display care or compassion.

Dr. Gramstad listens well to health complaints, asking incisive questions to clarify the problems. He has a wonderful bedside manner, is pleasant and very knowledgeable. As a health care professional who has worked in the OR with Orthopedic surgeons, I recognize his medical knowledge as top notch and would not hesitate to have him operate on me, if needed.

Excellent clinician. Thorough, clear in his discussion, succinct. I was impressed with his history taking, physical exam, and evaluation of the MRI. I would highly recommend him for shoulder problems. I am a family practitioner.
