Extremely happy with Dr. Grimmer. I am glad he will be performing surgery on our child.

April 29, 2013

Very nice. Understood our frustrations with previous providers not listening to us.

April 22, 2013

felt like our child's issue was treated lightly by him and that we were wasting his time by even being there. he did nothing to help us

April 15, 2013

I would gladly recommend this clinic to anyone needing their help!

February 25, 2013

Felt like he really listened to me. Valued my opinion.

February 05, 2013

Dr. Grimmer is great at explaining my daughter's medical needs, her options, and acts like we are the only patient he has to take care of that day.

For how hard we had to work to get to our appointment (we came from out of town), and to schedule all aspects of the appointment because we had to include a sleep study at the same time, I wish we would have been told that there was a possibility that my son wouldn't be scoped. There was a lot of stress getting ready for the appointment and I didn't leave with full peace of mind that we did everything we needed to to make sure he was okay. I'm okay that the procedure wasn't done if it wasn't necessary but it would have been nice to know that there was a possibility that it wasn't going to be done because most of our stress and planning for the whole day had been centered on getting it done... If that makes sense.

Dr. Grimmer took his time with us. He didn't talk fast or treat us like a # like other doctor's often do. He was very patient and made sure all my questions were answered before I left. He even let me look into my baby's ear so I could see what her tubes looked like. When the exam was over, instead of quickly leaving the room and going on to the next patient he waited for me to buckle my baby into the stroller and he opened two different doors for me. I was really impressed with his kindness and caring! I will be recommending him to all my friends for sure!

Awesome experience with Dr. Grimmer! He was there for the initial exam, surgery and follow-up it was nice to have the consistency and he was very calming and informative.

August 27, 2012

Dr Grimmer is great, I would refer anyone to him. It took very good care of my son and answered all of our questions

July 07, 2012

Dr Grimmer spent a lot of time with us and never acted rushed or seemed preoccupied. He acted like Chloe was his most important patient, answered all our questions, and put her fears to rest. He is a wonderful dr with a fabulous bedside manner, especially

April 25, 2012

This was a decent experience. I would have liked a little more discussion about my child's health, specifically options (pros and cons of surgery), where I could address additional concerns and questions after reading literature given me. I left not really sure what I should do next.

April 12, 2012

He didn't seem to care about my concerns. Made me feel like I shouldn't be there.

April 11, 2012

I wish we would have had time to ask more questions before our doctor left to talk with his next appointment.

April 04, 2012

Dr. Grimmer seemed uninterested in the situation. I realize he didn't have a lot to do with my child's sinus infection, but it is his specialty and we were looking to him for validation (or not) of our efforts to help our son.

February 29, 2012

Dr. Grimmer has been very good to listen to us and let us know what our beset course of action would be.

February 15, 2012

Great clinic.

There was only one nurse that was a little up tight. She was a older lady with long blonde hair. Maybe we thought this because the others were outstanding! There was a tall skinny gentleman, I think his name was Ken, he was amazing! He really conected and explained things to my daughter without freaking her out!
