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.

Doctor Grapin has retired as of 12/15/2021.

I have been a patient of Dr. Grapin for over 20 years. She was one of my primary OB doctors during my pregnancy, and provided the best monitoring I could have received during my 29 week, high-risk pregnancy. I was totally impressed and followed her to her current practice. Dr. Grapin has been providing me the same best care throughout. Ten years ago she played a major part of directive and supportive care during breast cancer. I have been and am lucky to be in her care.

Probably the worst beside manner I've ever encountered with a physician. Her staff made me feel like an aging grape and that my reproductive organs were drying after passing the age of 35. Not the best feeling in the world.

Office staff very rude and unapologetic for their extreme lack of customer service. Dr. Grapin is a good doctor but seems to be unaware of the unfavorable impression her patients are left with. I was a long-time patient and friend of Lami Jeffrey-Coker and current patient of Dr. Grapin. I walked out today due to how rude her office treated me.

I love Dr. Grapin. I have been a patient for over 20 years. She's way more than your ordinary OBGYN. She's my one and only favorite DR. She gives me as much time as I need, is caring and compassionate. We've had long talks about diet, fitness and other relative subjects to good health. She's recommended appropriate treatments and has been thorough in her follow up. The staff is efficient and helpful. Office is clean. She never makes me wait necessarily.

I've been seeing Dr. Grapin for almost 10 years and have always had a great experience with her. She's consistently given me appropriate treatment, both for standard care and emergencies, and I trust her expertise. I feel comfortable with her.
