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.

Great doctor! Wonderful, friendly staff. So thankful to have this group take care of me after breaking my hip.

Decide
Would like to ride a stationary bike again. My knees are giving me quite a bit of trouble. Grinspun offered pros and cons of how to deal with it. He was never pushy and gave me time to mull it over.

Reviewed X-Ray and listened.
He told me that he found information on the X-Ray that another doctor ordered, and I was not informed of. That made me feel that he knew I did have pain in that area.

So far so good
I have been to see him twice now. I have a torn rotator cuff and was glad that he didn’t just want to jump in and do surgery on my first visit with him. He explained that I would definitely have to have it fixed before it got into the muscle. He has now done two shots in it and will be looking to do the surgery maybe before the end of the year.

Interested & problem solving oriented.
Dr. Grinspun is recommended so far as this point in my recovery & on going situation of a pain in my wrist area. He did a great job in surgery as both a doctor and in character of providing a step by step chat during a carpel surgery. He is easy to talk with & and he does listen. As per his thoughts that the carpel problem maybe the red herring of under lying problems we are now addressing a new pain, as of an appointment this month of May he has been attentive to my concern of this ongoing hurt with a positive & helpful attitude. Thanks Doc.

Just had one of the worst patella ruptures and with surgery ,Dr. Grinspun was great to explain everything in detail before and after surgery, great bedside manners on my way to recover so pleased that I have Dr. Grinspun as my doctor. Dr. Grinspun will for sure handle any other orthopedic situations in the future. His staff Lindsay was as well great in post surgery situations.

I highly recommend Dr. Grinspun. He's warm, welcoming and listens! I've had knee issues for decades and he was truly interested in hearing my history, discussing short and long term solutions, and ultimately providing what I thought was awesome care.

I've only seen this doctor one time but he was great. I was having a terrible time with my shoulder. He put a cortisone shot in and it helped a lot. Saw me the day I called! Much, much nicer than any of his colleagues! If I need an ortho again, I will see him. Thanks Doc!

Very disappointing experience. Dr. Grinspun did not treat my broken finger properly. Because of this, my finger healed drastically crooked. I had to seek out an orthopedic surgeon to repair it. This involved two surgeries to re-break the finger, insert two pins and later remove the pins. This also involved weeks of pain and physical therapy on my part. I would not recommend Dr. Grinspun. I trusted him to fix my injury and he failed. He also made me feel like my medical needs were not importan

This is an update in reference to my comment dated on June 19, 2018. I did not see an option here to provide an update from that unfortunate experience. I was trying to keep peace, but was frustrated at the same time. My bad experience was forgotten because I forgave you. Despite that experience, I STILL KNOW that you are an amazing physician that performed my surgery. For that, I sincerely thank you so much and was truly grateful to have YOU perform my surgery. Thank you for responding. A+ A+ A
