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.

HIGHLY recommended!!
His staff are wonderful & always very helpful. Dr. Gruber is friendly, intelligent & gets to the bottom of the problem. He’s not “cut happy” & actually cares about the patient’s health. I wouldn’t go to anyone else!!

Horrible
He and his nurse practitioner are rude and arrogant. My husband was in the hospital and they told me they would treat his head injury and nothing else. Wouldn’t listen to my concern about pain in his leg. He suffered 5 days with an undiagnosed broken femur and being made to do PT every day on broken leg. To shut me up they did X-rays and found the break. Started trying to release him from hospital that very day. They also over dosed him on medicine because the “dr” didn’t want my husband’s list of medicine because he got a list from our pharmacy, of every medicine ever taken. A medicine he should have 900mg/day he was given 3600mg/day. My husband died a few weeks later. Worse experience I’ve ever had with a medical professional.

Dr. Gruber repaired the crushed L5 vertebrae in 2018. I have no pain and have resumed most activities I did before my accident. I highly recommend Dr. Gruber. I am grateful to him.

Extremely arrogant. His medical advice after I was diagnosed with osteopenia was, "don't get fat."
