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.

Professional and comprehensive care
I was treated with care and clear communication to any questions or concerns.

Rude. Dismissive. Arrogant.
Acted like he was being bothered. I Left the office and didn’t even ask important question as his demeanor was so horrible. I felt like I had to manage his emotions to even get him to listen to my concerns. Very unprofessional. If he’s unhappy at work then retire. He shouldn’t be taking his frustrations out on patients. Sooooo angry.

Excellent Results!
Dr. Gruszka performed trigger release surgery on my left middle and index fingers. His precise incision location not only helped with the healing but made the PT more tolerable. After playing drums for 58 years, it was nice to get my fingers back! I will have him perform the same procedure on my left ring and pinky finger next year. Dr. 'G' answered all my questions, never made me feel rushed and performed a fantastic procedure! I would highly recommend him to anyone who has hand issues.

Happy and Sad
Had a check up on my knee replacements. Everything was GOOD. But a little pin spacer had moved because I fell on my right knee. I have to go back in to fix it at the end of the month. Josh and Dr. Gruszka said I should be mowing by spring.
