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.

Had high liver enzymes, said 'don't worry--'.
Dr. Grubb was my primary care physician for many years, he never had much to say, and if I had a minor health issue he would just shrug his shoulders. Now if I wanted a referral, or a prescription for something, no problem. Every year my annual blood work showed my liver enzymes were out of range high, not real high but all the same out of range high. Dr. Grubb always said, 'do not worry about it'. Then one year the B 100 vitamin supplement I take every morning went up in price, and I thought do I need 100 mg of the B vitamins?, so I tried the B 50 supplement from the same company. Two months later I had my annual blood work done, liver enzymes were within range, right in the middle! Turns out B 3 is toxic, and now it is recommended you only get 34 mg day. That was the only thing I changed. It would of been nice to have had a doctor who investigated why my liver enzymes were out of range high all those years. Fortunately the B 100 price went up, and I investigated B vitamins.

Dr. Grubb is Consistently Excellent for 10 Years!
Dr. Grubb, and all his staff, are excellent! They are always friendly, understanding, and accommodating.Dr. Grubb is consistently kind, patient, and reassuring. I feel seen, understood, and safe in his care. Whenever I've had any issue I felt that he was genuinely concerned. He demonstrates compassion. I've never felt rushed in detailing symptoms, or concerns. He answers all of my questions.Also, there was never a time when I felt that unnecessary drugs, or procedures were being pushed, nor that tests, or any kind of treatments were withheld. I always feel that Dr. Grubb's priority, in treating me, is my best interest.Dr. Grubb has been my primary care doctor for at least 10 years. He was recommended to me from a friend/former student. In turn, after experience with him as my doctor, I've recommended Dr. Grubb to my friends and family. In ten years, these friends and family members also continue to choose Dr. Grubb as their doctor. I'm so glad to have a doctor I can trust!

Dr. Grubb is my hero
I stumbled back from a ski trip, limping, coughing and beat up. Dr. Grubb confirmed that I had an inguinal hernia and referred me to a top surgeon. He confirmed that I had severe bronchitis and prescribed meds that brought me relief quickly. I am sure glad that he has my back!

Had a bad cold or allergy. Was able to get in to see Dr Grubb he diagnosed my problem perfectly and was able to help me quickly. His skill level is very high as well as his personality who cares very much about making your wellness a top priority doctor with a great skill level. He is is very patient centric and cares about his patients.

When did it become acceptable to have to call your GP to find out your test results from WEEKS ago? And have the RECEPTIONIST call you back to give you these results. So unprofessional and disheartening. My fiancée went to Dr.Grubb for concerns about his health and didn't get any answers. Don't you usually set up a return visit to sit down and go over the results and ask questions and understand your health better? Needless to say we wlll both be finding a new doctor this upcoming year, as I myself have had the same experience months back.

Could not be more disgusted by this “doctor”. Dr. Grubb brushed me off and literally shrugged his shoulders and said “I don’t know it could be a lot of things” when I shared my symptoms, he offered no diagnosis or recommendations and suggested maybe it would pass. Lazy.

My father saw Dr Grubb for medical clearance for a simple urological procedure. He has a known clotting disorder and history of many clot events. We requested a simple lovenox bridge which Dr Grubb opted NOT to order. The cascade of events from not taking a simple precaution has been devastating. From ischemic leg, arterial occlusion to perforated bladder it has been terrible. If you have any complicated history be wary!
