In patients' words

"Dr.Gibson is very unprofessional, left me waiting to see him for almost 2 hours without any communication. Kept sending students in asking repeated questions."

Healthgrades user review

"Dr. Grauer did my spinal fusion... and I have had no problems with it. His 'bedside manner' was a tad gruff, but his medical expertise is beyond reproach."

Healthgrades user review

"The team answered all my questions, helped me with the paperwork and minimized my stress level... If I need another joint replacement in the future, I would not consider going anywhere else."
