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 with kids
He's always been very friendly at each visit and is very good with our two kids. He remembers small details and is very patient. No complaints here!

Very bad attitude
I do not recommend Dr. Grella, he has no patience with toddlers, and is not professional. He gave us a bad attitude when our toddler started crying and was too limited. Even the diagnosis he provided wasn’t convincing.

He was rude and refused to listen to my explanation of my child’s issue. He was arrogant and dismissive. It turned out that his diagnosis was completely wrong. Please do not go to Dr. Grella. You can do better.

Dr Grella filled in for my daughter's first pediatrician we had selected. We loved him so much we switched to him! I am not sure why he has any negative reviews. He is so great with babies and now my toddler. She is always at ease with him, he is thorough but playful to keep her engaged. He is knowledgeable and factual when he answers our questions. I would (and have) highly recommend this Dr and it makes me disappointed to see any negative reviews!

Awful bedside manner. Rude and offensive when asked questions, and not gentle with my baby. Not at all helpful or nice. The staff are friendly, but find a different doctor at the practice.

Marc Grella is obnoxious and is by far the worst doctor I've ever had. Rude is the best way to describe him. He thinks he knows more than he does. He doesn't understand what he is prescribing, believes whatever big pharma tells him with little research of his own. Everything is rushed to get as many patients through and make as much money as possible. These type of doctors have ambitions that get in the way of real patient care, it's the only excuse I can come up with, must be what it is. They d

Great doctor. Not the best with adults (but by no means rude) but phenomenal with the little kids and that's all that matters to me.
