The doctor is great with my dad and myself. I attend all doctor appointments with my dad because he needs help understanding and expressing his needs. The doctor has been fantastic with both of us.

Dr. Grubbs has been fantastic. He listens to everything I have to say and gives me plenty of options to think about when it comes to medications, and general problem-solving when it comes to my concerns. As I talk to him, he is bringing up stuff on the computer so he can show me what it is we are talking about and I really am thankful for that. He's very thorough and very understanding and doesn't make me feel like I'm being judged or that I'm just another patient with no name that he is just trying to push through.
