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.

Dr. Gruen performed surgery and repaired my shattered ankle 6 years ago. He is a brilliant surgeon and has a great bedside manner. He built a scaffold for my ankle to heal and I went from 60% or less chance of full use in recovery to 90-100% use of my ankle. I spent 2 1/2 months in Charles Morris recovery and PT for 3 months after I got home. Dr. Gruen supervised it all and was a great doctor. I highly recommend him. A truly modest man and a great doctor.

I have been a practicing nurse for 40 years, the last 16 years in ICU working with trauma patients, I suffered a fall in July 2016 . I sustained a fractured tibial plateau with fractured tibia. I required a posterior open reduction, bone graft and 6 months of PT for nerve damage to my peroneal nerve resulting in drop foot. I have a long history of working with surgeons of all specialties. Dr Gruen is one amazing surgeon and I would trust my loved ones to his care. I'm walking with no drop foot.

This dr is unbelievable. If I could give him 10 stars I would. His bedside manor is perfect & his prthopaedic skills surpass anything I've ever seen. I can say this because I worked for 7 prthopaedic surgeons for 30 years.
