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.

He delivered all 3 of my kids, he is by far the most magnificent doctor!!! He is a wonderful, understanding doctor. I absolutely love his patience he have with all his patience even his employees.

I went to Dr Groves w/ 2nd pregnancy & absolutely loved him & his staff. He makes you feel very comfortable to ask him any questions or concerns you have. Pregnancy & delivery went beautifully. Went to Groves for 3rd pregnancy & received the absolute best treatment once again. This time during delivery my blood pressure/heart rate & my baby's bp/hr dropped almost to 0, Dr Groves along w/ an army of professionals swarmed the room & stayed there until after delivery. I refer him to EVERYONE!

Absolutely wonderful. It took a very long time to find a doctor who respected the fact that I do not want to have children. My previous gyno just dismissed me and started giving me very lukewarm care after I told her that I did not wish to be a parent. Dr. Groves believed me and understood that I had the right to make that decision. If you are younger woman who has chosen to be childfree, Dr. Groves will respect you and treat you like a responsible adult. A rarity in this part of the country.

I can't say more positive things about Dr. Groves. He took the time to get to know me and my concerns. He always took as much time as I needed to answer my millions of questions. He made my experience with my first child amazing.
