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 experience, wonderful outcome.
I recently was referred to Dr Grigorov by my Primary Physician, I had been in pain for 4 1/2 years and going to pain management and getting little to no relief from many procedures. The best thing in the world was to go to Dr Grigorov Dr Grigorov fused my left SI joint and a month later my right SI joint. I am pain free! Dr Grigorov and has staff answered every questions I had and answered every call I made. I highly recommend Dr Grigorov and his staff to everyone.

Unfortunate
Was there a total of 10 minutes. Did nothing for me. Offered no tests, imaging or solutions. Dr talked to me for about 2 minutes. Billed my insurance $2264.00. Insane. If I could give zero stars, I would.

Dr. Grigorov and his staff seem very knowledgeable, courteous and helpful, which gives me hope that they will help me to get to a better place from the pain and suffering I’m going through at this moment. This is the only thing that I can wish and ask for. So if you can help me I gladly will appreciate all the services that you, Dr. Grigorov, can provide to help me get to that better place. Thank you.

Feeling great!
I’ve been visiting Dr Grigorov’s office for a couple months. Office employees are great and very helpful with smiling faces and very polite. The offices (Venice/Port Charlotte) are very clean. As for Dr Grigorov, he takes his time and listens to your injury complaints. He explains your findings from your test results thoroughly and explains your options. Yes, I went forward with the lumbar surgery. I had issues walking and NOW eight months later I’m feeling fantastic!! Started my first day of light tennis and very excited and feeling great. Thank you to Dr Grigorov and his employees for taking the time and making this seem easy!!

My experience with Dr. Grigorov was very positive. I was referred to him by another doctor for a pinched nerve in my back, and had been in pain for almost a year when I walked or stood for any length of time. After Dr. Grigorov reviewed my MRI, he recommended surgery. Dr. Grigorov performed a laminectomy for a herniated disk, and the results were immediate. No more pain! It’s been 2 months since my surgery, and I am very happy with the results. I’m able to walk and bike and enjoy doing all the fun things in life. When I asked the doctor if this disk problem could happen again, he stated that it was possible, but to just “live my life”. I would highly recommend Dr. Grigorov.

Dr. Grigorov and his staff are fantastic folks. Dr. Grigorov listens to the patient and then talks about treatment choices. Very thorough ad informative. He suggests options rather than jump right to surgery. The staff is friendly and heresy to deal with. I highly recommend this office.

My experience with this Surgeon was extremely impressive! I found him to be honest and sincere. He gave me HOPE, something that means so much to me. I highly recommend him to anyone searching for a knowledgeable, kind hearted expert who needs to know why they’re in pain!! His second opinion was on point and his treatment plan is something I am looking forward to. His staff, amazing!

Dr Grigorov is an excellent spinal surgeon!! You owe it to yourself to at least consult with him if you are needing any back surgery. I had seen seven neurosurgeons in three states and none of them would even attempt to help me. Dr Grigorov explained everything to me including how complex and dangerous and painful my surgery would be. He did an excellent job on my lumbar spine. He followed up with me every two months until my X-ray showed healing was going as expected. He is confident but not cocky as I have found other surgeons have been. He helped me so much that I have come down on pain meds to one fourth of what I was on for thirty years. I am very pleased with the results. He is very talented and our goal is to get me off all pain meds.

Surgery to remove the disc and bone spurs and caging the bones above and below to stabilize them was conducted at The Doctors Hospital in Sarasota. That day, once the surgery was completed Dr Grigorov visited me in my room and I was able to get up and walk without pain shooting down my legs and lower back. The next few days flew by and the slight discomfort I experienced after surgery was recognized as healing, feeling alive again. It's been two weeks now since the surgery and the difference is night and day. I thank Dr Grigorov, his staff at the Neurosurgical Institute and all the wonderful people at the Doctor's Hospital and my home nurse and physical therapist that Dr Grigorov arranged, for their incredible help and dedication to making me well again. God Bless Dr Grigorov, God Bless you all.

He has done 2 surgeries on me. The first one worked, but then more problems arose due to my bad genetics and he quickly got those fixed as well! He was very prompt, always in contact, and on top of my care. When I had to go to the ER for pain management before my surgery, he even called the ER and instructed them on exactly how to help me so I didn't get misdiagnosed or treated as a pillhound. He is fantastic to work with!

Dr. Grigorov is amazing! I was suffering from a pinched nerve and after two failed procedures with other doctors, I had surgery with Dr. Grigorov. My nerve pain was gone after surgery! And my incision looks really good, very thin! On my follow up, I could see the pride in his eyes when he checked me. He is very dedicated and professional! Thank you Dr. Grigorov! You are the best!
