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.

Rematch
Had to battle cancer again that swelled a lymphnode. Dr. G and his team removed it and 45 more. A dental review showed an area on tongue to re- examine. Dr. Groves' PA Megan biopsied it a fast 3 days later - her reassurance meant the world to me. I have now met most of the ENT staff and they are all caring and professional, answering every question I had. I am a Veteran and receive Well Star care through the VA. They partner with each other and I am delighted with their continued quick response and concern for my health. Five stars!

Dr. Michael W. Groves is an outstanding physician and surgeon. I could not recommend him more highly. I detected a mass in my neck, so I visited my primary care physician at the Medical College of Georgia (MCG)/Augusta University Health. After some initial tests, I was referred to Dr. Groves also at MCG. He personally performed various tests, including Fine Needle Aspirations, and Core extractions to determine if the mass was cancerous. It was. Medical College of Georgia is an amazing institution that proves the best care. Dr. Groves frequently and effectively communicated with me every step of the way. I had full confidence in him and when he stated, "We can take care of this", I knew that I was in good hands. Dr. Groves was the attending physician for the surgery on my neck. After the surgery, I was not in any pain at all, which was refreshing. Dr. Groves specializes in Otolaryngology (Head and Neck Surgery) and is the Associate Dean of Graduate Medical Education.

My name is Tom Speigal, I am a 72-year-old male. I just finished seeing Dr. Groves, Dr. Edelmayer and Intern Lauren Reid because I have been experiencing frequent nosebleeds. I have an extensive family history with cancer and I was very concerned that I may be experiencing a form of nasal cancel like my father had experienced several years before Dr. Groves and Dr. Edelmayer did an extensive scoping of my nasal passages, throughout this procedure they took the time to tell me what they were doing and what they were looking for. Once the procedure was over they then went back and went over the entire process, explaining in detail everything they were looking for and what they found. Their total professionalism and sincere concern greatly reduced my level of anxiety and I cannot thank them enough for taking the time to fully explain everything to me. I would absolutely recommend anyone experiencing these type of symptoms to see these two totally professional physicians.

approximately two months I visited Dr. Groves multiple times during June and July of 2020. Dr. Groves was very welcoming and maintained a genial and positive attitude. His diagnosis was quick and accurate, he listened to the things I told him (did not ignore my comments), he gave detailed responses to all of my questions and concerns, and his course of treatment was perfect. My treatment included a surgical procedure that went fantastically well.

Dr. Groves is a very knowledgeable Dr. with a great bedside manner. I’m blessed that he performed my surgery. I’ve healed with no residual nerve damage and could have easily had facial paralysis if not for his skill and patiences in removing a tumor which was located very close to a major nerve. Thank you, Dr. Groves! Lucretia Kay Lord

Dr. Groves is a very caring and conscientious physician. He took excellent care of me. He is innovative and I believe always looking for ways to improve the science of cancer treatments.

From my initial visit with Dr. Groves, through my cancer diagnosis, surgery and follow up appointments, I have come to think of Dr. Groves with great respect, and admiration for his knowledge, skill and experience. At all times through my treatment Dr. Groves has communicated and explained in detail my medical plan. My questions have always been thoughtfully considered and answered with compassion. The excellent and efficient staff always aided me in a timely and courteous manner.

I had the pleasant experience to deal with Dr Groves when my brother needed his services. He and his associates were so helpful and informative explaining what procedures were needed and being done. Dr Groves did a wonderful job with the surgery he performed on my brother’s head and neck. My brother has had a great recovery time and little scaring. My brother is 87 years old and not in the best of health, but with Dr Groves care he has done marvelous.

Dr. Groves is one of the best Doctors I have ever encountered. He explained everything thoroughly and in terms that were clear and not disturbing. I felt like we worked out a care plan together after discussing all the options , and it was specifically geared to me as a patient. He is a caring, knowledgable and excellent doctor and I have already recommended him to friends and family.
