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.

Excellent visit
Dr Grablin was so very patient and kind to me during my appointment for severe shoulder pain. He took his time with me, examined me, gave his diagnosis and then treated it. He gave me many opportunities to ask questions. His 3 nutses were fabulous: Laquisha, Cinthia and Kisha. I really had a worthwhile and enjoyable visit

Made my first call to this doctors office at 11:31 AM just to have a rep answer and then tell me all appointment specialists were busy and will have someone call back. Waited till 1:30 PM and tried calling back. Ended up with them hanging up on me with no return call and having to call again. On the third call I was on hold so long it switched to the automated call back option and asked for the name and number then hung up. Waited for a callback and answered the call but it switched to VM right away. Called again and again had to wait for a callback and finally talked to the rep "Kathy" just to tell me they don't handle the type of injury, large mass on left hip from fall (Hematoma ), and that it was just a bruise. I told her if it was just a simple bruise my primary wouldn't have referred me to a specialist... I've had the hematoma for over 2 weeks that wasn't going down. The doctors receptionist is pathetic and the response from the doctor was ludicrous! No wonder why he has bad ratings!!!

My sister just had hip replacement and corrective fracture surgery of the same leg. Many years of pain and couldn’t even walk. No other doctor would agree to do such surgery on her at 64 . Well thank God for Dr. Grablin! She was up after surgery and walking . Her healing has been more than just an operation, more than just a hip replacement. It has been a healing of her mind and greater Hope that her life will get better. Thank you Dr. Grablin and all of your staff for giving her back her joy for walking and life !

THE BEST
After suffering with severe hip pain for over a year and given the runaround by everyone from physical therapy to my own PCP , I contacted Dr. Grablin who, fortunately, was in my insurance network. He asked if I had any X-rays taken of my hip. Since I hadn’t, he immediately had his tech X-ray me . It was apparent that I had severe bone on bone and needed a total hip replacement. He showed me the X-ray and explained everything in detail. He scheduled for surgery and 2 weeks later performed the operation. It’s been 3 weeks since the surgery and, while I’m still in recovery, I feel like a new person ! I am blessed and amazed! Dr. Grablin is a finely skilled surgeon as well as a man of great character and demeanor!

The Doctor was rude and dismissive. He was rushed and would not listen to me and pretty much called me a liar.

His office staff is a joke
Dr Grablin was recommended to me and he was willing to help me replace my left knee. I was not enthralled with his manners but he replaced my knee and exerything seemed to be healing well but I got a severe infection in the leg and was told to elevate, take meds, and rest by the ER Doctor. No PT allowed for a few days. Dr Grablin poo pood that idea when I went to see him a few days later and seemed aggravated that I was given these instructions. Whatever! I can only do what the Dr says. I contacted him through the portal and told him I was having trouble sleeping due to the pain and needed something to relax me. NEVER received any reply and that was 20 days ago as of 09/20/2022. They are hounding me to pay a $100.00 bill I supposedly owe so I am going to wait until they acknowledge my message before I am paying. I am wondering how long before his office staff ever answers me.

I had a swollen knee for months and Dr. Grabblin identified the problem w/ an MRI. I had a ACL tear from years ago and a front to back meniscus tear. Within two weeks I had the surgery. No real pain associated with the surgery. Thank you Dr. Grabblin, for giving me my smile and knee cap back!

Dr. Grablin is T.O.P. - Top Orthopedic Physician - in our book! He saw me immediately - when the surgeon referred to us by our Primary Care Physician put me off for a month. Dr. Grablin performed the necessary surgery for torn tendons in my quadriceps the very next day. Not only is Dr. Grablin a skilled surgeon, he is compassionate, direct, and focuses on the patient.

Informative, good bedside manner. Gave me knee exercises and instructed how to and watched me perform them for complete understanding. Gives great knee injections, informative on condition. Does not push surgery, though a canadate for one.

Worst experience. He never really examined me and told me I am fine and just old. Also said I need to “suck it up” and that my pain was in my head. He literally walk out of the exam room and I had no clue if we were finished. I will now need to seek a second opinion and pay again. No bed side manner.

The best doctor would recommend him talks to you and understands you when you explain your problems. Works with you on the best treatment and does it with out looking at a computer the whole visit.

Dr. Grablin did a partial knee replacement on me. After many years of using corisone treatments and even Simvasc, I am finally pain free. Dr. Grablin and his staff are wonderful and take the time to answer any questions that you or your loved ones may have. Dr. Grablin is one of the most caring doctors that I have ever had the good fortune to be treated by. While it is my hope that I never need his service again, I would recommend Dr. Grablin to anyone who might need his expertise.
