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.

Wonderful doctor.
I haven’t seen Dr. G in many years but if I still lived in the area I’d see him. I had high risk pregnancies and he was very through! I’m sorry to see his current staff is so difficult. This man saved my life and my ability to have one more baby. Side note if he’s terse or grumpy with you then he’s very worried about you and your actions.

I would give zero stars if I could. He clearly is not up to day with current medical standards of care and knowledge. I was told he could diagnose and treat my endometriosis instead he ablated right over it on my tubes. Do not let his guy operate on you. Seek elsewhere because better care is out there.

Liked Dr. Gratkins but his nurse and office manager were the absolute rudest people! The nurse would change the drs orders, contradict what he told me and talk to me as if I was 9yrs old. I was being treated for diabetes, called in for an refill and got a letter discharging me! After 3 yrs and no explanation. Talked to office manager and her contempt was incredible! If Gratkins has no authority whatsoever for his patients, then don't go to him. Whatever he says is useless. His nurse, offensive.

Dr. Gratkins is a great doctor. He was always very helpful and addressed all my needs. The problem I had is when I would go to get a prescription filled at my pharmacy they would have a question and call his nurse. Then she would take it upon herself to change everything me and the doctor had spoke about. When I called to address these issues they were extremely rude and discontinued me as a patient. I have been seeing him since I was 14 now 33. Now I am left to find a new doctor.

Dr. Gratkins is truely amazing. His staff are the rudest, most unprofessional people I have ever met. I thought I would stick it out because he is so wonderful but unfortunately his staff ran me out. They make you arrive 15 minutes before the appointment but don't see you until 40 minutes after your appointment was supposed to start
