We appreciate how concerned and courtious everyone was. Dr. Grinsell is great and very helpful for stressed mothers as well as the patient. He took time to get background and ensure the best care for our daughter. He also anwered all of our questions and made sure we understood what was happening. He also personally called us to give us updates and discuss further treatment. We couldn't ask for better care during this stressful situation. We know our daughter is in the best hands and care available.

First comment from Dr was to accuse us of being 15 min late for a 30 min appt, now we have no time to evaluate. I explained we waited 20 min at front desk. They were backed up with only 1 receptionist, we were NOT late. He then said "then its because everyone else was late". He did not appologise for the wait or the comments and seemed irritated the entire appt.

We were very impressed with Dr. Grinsell and his abilities to care for our children.

We were very impressed with the genuineness that Dr. Grinsell showed our son. He was very thorough, and made him feel as close to comfortable as he was going to feel (he has autism, so doctor visits can be hard on him).

I hope I can find a doctor like Dr. Grinsel when I become an adult. Any recommendations? : )

Having gone to a Nephrologist for years in North Carolina whom we loved, I was worried we wouldn't find someone as caring, knowledgeable, or personable. Dr. Grinsell exceeded my expectations.

I was really impressed with everyone I encountered during this visit. I also loved how everyone treated Spencer and made him feel so comfortable.

Dr. Grinsell has always been courteous, respectful and talked with me on a level I can understand. He's always shown concern for my daughter and what she's going through. I wish he was closer to us though! :)

I had I felt valid concerns regarding a vacination which were treated very I felt rudely and my feelings were hurt I felt I was talked down to almost to the point of being made fun of

We never feel rushed with Dr. Grinzell. He always takes the time to answer questions and find out how Hyrum is doing. In his words, "He is the best!"

I know that Dr. Grinsell is an expert in his field. I know he knows what he is doing and will take care of his patients, we just need to have all of the information ourselves to alleviate our concerns.
