    After being gone for Months he acted like it was a bother to need something from my assigned provider and asked why we didn't ask other doctors for medication. They all said it was his job!

    Dr. Grubbs always listens and goes over treatment plans in detail. He always makes me feel heard and cared for at every appointment, but especially this appointment. A new very concerning medical concern came up suddenly, he was concerned as well and spent a lot of time with me making sure I was okay. I have referred many people to him! He is an amazing doctor!
