Patient Reviews
May 25, 2023
Dr. Gruft and his team are the most kind, compassionate, and understanding medical group I've ever come across in my 52 years of life. He really takes his time to find out the source of the pain, and endeavors to follow a comprehensive plan to alleviate the suffering. He just has the best bedside manner of any physician I've met. Dr. Gruft listens intently and does not judge you at all but rather is quite supportive in affirming what you have been going through. In addition to his friendly and prompt front desk staff, I also must compliment the physical therapist Jizelle. During our session, she took time to carefully go over the steps needed to lessen the pain through exercises that anyone can do at home. She makes sure you understand the physical sources of the pain. She realizes that the answer to pain management involves not just medication, but active physical therapy as well. Overall, he and his team deserves 10 stars out of 5. You can trust Dr. Gruft!
