September 14, 2024PRIMARY CHILDREN'S MEDICAL CENTERDr. Grimmer was very nice and understanding of our concerns. He explained everything very well. We left the clinic very happy and at ease. He's definitely an expert in his field. We recommend him to anyone that is in need of these type of services.
September 14, 2024PRIMARY CHILDREN'S MEDICAL CENTERHe is good at what he does. But doesn't have very good bedside manner with little kids. Would love for this office to be more like the Audiology office. They do a very good job at taking time to play with the kids, let them touch the instruments until they are comfortable enough to move forward with the care.
September 11, 2024PRIMARY CHILDREN'S MEDICAL CENTERGreat. Very knowledgeable and helpful in answering our questions. We love that he collaborates with colleagues at Primary Children's and Huntsman. Top notch care.
