Verified Patient Reviews

5 out of 5 stars

Dr. Grosberg always listens and I always feel like I am an equal party to my treatment plan. Having access to the same Dr who has been treating me for almost 20 years, knows my complicated history, and understands my long term goals has been a lifesaver. He always explains his thoughts and what my treatment options are and then listens while I think and process.

Dr Grosberg is thorough, kind, patient and knowledgeable. He spent a great deal of time understanding my individual symptoms and put a care plan together to meet my specific needs. He asked questions throughout the visit to ensure I understood and agreed with next steps.

The two doctors I saw on March 25th were amazing! They questioned me about my pain, they listened and are formulating a treatment plan. I left feeling optimistic, a feeling I haven't felt in a very long time!

Dr. Grossberg has changed my life with my migraines. I went to him weeping with over 20 migraines a month. He put me on a new path by changing my medication and LISTENING to what my triggers were. He is so compassionate and makes u feel it’s all about you. His expertise and kindness are so one in a million. Thank you so very much!!!!!

Dr Grosberg is a phenomenal doctor and I believe he is truly a model for all other doctors. I have been struggling with migraines for the better part of my life and have seen several neurologists, none of whom were able to help. At my peak, I was experiencing 23 days of migraines out of 30, some of which would shut me down for a day or longer. After Dr Grosberg's treatment, I am down to 2 or 3 minor headaches a month, tops. His bedside manner is impeccable, his knowledge unmatched, and his care for his patients is genuine. Because of that, it can be very difficult to make an appointment with him due to so many people trying to get into his practice. My advice is, if you can get in, do it, you won't be sorry!

I was able to meet Dr. Grosberg and his fellow. They took a significant amount of time going through history and checking different reactions to determine possible cause of headaches. I am grateful for their thoroughness and so thankful I went there.

Dr. Grosberg has treated my migraines for over 15 years. He is one the kindest, most compassionate man I’ve known. Dr. Grosberg always manages to know exactly what I need and how to treat them. As far as migrating to go, he is the absolute best doctor I’ve ever met
