Patient Reviews for Dr. Samuel Grubman - MD
Professional. Caring. Conscientious and personable
very professional
He was overly thorough with his questions and spent a lot of time listening to my symptoms. Would recommend him to anyone.
Dr Grubman was great. He was empathetic, considerate and very deliberate in his treatment. I felt as though I had plenty of time to ask questions, and got an honest and clear answer on a path forward.
friendly, thorough, professional, well informed... a pleasure, thank you
I have been a patient of Dr. Grubman's since 1998, so that speaks volumes. Aside from the fact that he is an excellent Doctor and knows his field, he is also very patient, he listens (VERY important), and is extremely pleasant.
What everyone else says is true. He was extremely thorough and really listened to what I had to say.
Extremely thorough. Made us feel like we picked the most knowledgable immunologist in the world to diagnose our 9 month old. He is an exceptional doctor!
Dr Grubman was great - asked good questions, kept me at ease, probed for understanding and is going to try to really figure out how to fix my potential allergy problem. I originally came to him with my 4 year old daughter who had a major rash and high fever - no one could figure out what was wrong with her until we came to him out of desperation. He diagnosed her on the spot and told us that she had a very uncommon allergic reaction - she finally got better after his prescribed therapy.
It was our first visit with Dr. Grubman, and I walked away feeling confident that we are in good hands.
Dr. Grubman is excellent. Very friendly and thorough.I would definately recommend him.
Dr. Grubman doesn't apply a cookie cutter approach - he appreciates that medicine is both an art and a science and works with his patients to find the best solutions. Incredibly knowledgeable and thoughtful in his work with patients. Highly recommended.
He is thorough and detailed.He is very genuine and straight forward doctor, I would recommend him to others.
Excellent. Very friendly and thorough. Would definitely recommend and see again, if needed.
I thought Dr. Grubman was thorough and insightful. He spent significant time with me and developed a plan for me to address allergies. The experience was much better than my expectation.
FABULOUS! I would highly recommend to anyone needing an allergist. GREAT bedside manner. Really knows what he is doing.
Today was my first visit. The wait was about 45 mins but I was very much satisfied with Dr. Samuel. In fact, I already recommend a friend of mine. Thanks.
Very nice person. Very knowledgeable. I highly recommend him. JoanS
Cordial and polite - attentive and answered all my questions with patience. Very pleased.
A truly wonderful doctor!
He was very informative and was able to expalin to me step by step what he was doing.
Great doctor - very friendly and concerned about his patients' well-being. I only waited 10 minutes to be seen. Though I did feel a little rushed during the appointment, I still felt he was thorough. He's very knowledgeable and gives you information on all options before deciding on any treatment. If you leave him a message, he definitely follows-up and is accessible if there's an emergency. The front staff is also professional and nice. I've recommended him to several colleagues and friends. Terrific office!
He is very professional and through, I would definately recommend him.
I went to see Dr. Grubman after having had a reoccuring sinus infection for almost two months. He was the first doctor that I have ever seen that actually tested me to find out exactly what I am allergic to. He informed me about the time of year my allergies will typically start and when I can expect them to subside. And he was spot on! I left informed and feeling like I found a doctor I could trust.
He was thorough and clear with his understanding of my problem and precise on the steps to address the problem! I liked him!
Dr. Grubman is a physician and person with the grace and confidence to listen, to encourage his patients' active participation in their wellness, and to do it in good humor. I am confident that I receive accurate, up-to-date, and realistic information and advice. I appreciate the time he commits to answering my questions.
great doctor
Wait time today was longer than usual...approximately 20 mins or so...
We LOVE Dr. Grubman. My son is always terrified to see the Dr. but he always feels better when we leave because Dr. Grubman really knows how to relate to children. From the parent's perspective, I found the Dr. to be very proactive with his diagnosis and has been fantastic when my son's health was at a very scary point. I have already recommended him numerous times to my friends. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE him!
Really nice doctor. I enjoyed my visit with him and felt like he had appropriate responses that we customized to me - rather than being generic recommendations given to everyone. I'm new to looking into allergies so I have no context for other allergists, but I'm quite happy with Dr. Grubman so far.
Dr. Grubman is great. He is very understanding and answers questions thoroughly (in addition to having a blog with even more information). He will offer several ideas of things to try to feel better. Following his advice, I've gotten relief from my allergies.
IM USUALLY VERY PICKY ON WHO I GO TO AND I WAS VERY GLAD TO HAVE FOUND DR. GRUBMAN. HE'S A VERY PLEASANT THOROUGH DR. HE DOESNT WAISTE ANY TIME HELPING YOU AND HE HAS WHAT ALOT OF DR. DONT...A GREAT MANNER ABOUT HIM..I WOULD NOT ONLY RECOMEND HIM....BUT I LOOK FORWARD TO DEALING WITH HIM AND HIM HELPING ME WITH MY ALLERGIES I NEGLECTED FOR YRS BECAUSE I NEVER FOUND ONE I LIKED....STEVE KAPLAN
Thanks so much for your time Samuel - very informative & helpful & glad to finally get to the bottom of my nut allergy (awaiting results) & have my daughter tested. Would def recommend.
appt started right on time... doc was thorough with the exam and clear with his explanations. wonderful experience.
He is kind, friendly and very professional. Very knowledgeable and I would recommend him highly.
He's the absolute best.
Very thorough and personable. Great doctor. :D
Like always Jack and I had a great experience. Dr.Grubman always makes Jack (6yrs old) and myself feel comfortable and confident. I HIGHLY recommend his services.
Great, as always! Professional, courteous, timely, always takes great care of me.
Dr. Grubman is efficient, effective, and beyond that simply a very nice man. Highly recommended.
Dr. Grubman is very professional and takes the time to pay attention to your particular allergy needs. Wait time was less than 5 mins.
Truly an old time doctor, who takes his time in managing the patient, not rushing to medicate and move on. Great sense of humor and patience. My son and I love him.
No flow up what so ever. He was supposed to get back to me after having my records sent over to his office. Never did, even after I called to make sure the records were recived.
Very thorough history and exam. I would highly recommend Dr. Grubman.
Great doctor, period. He is professional, courteous and he manages his schedule well--rarely a wait longer than 5mins.
He was wonderful, as was his receptionist. He listened to my questions and concerns, and he didn't dismiss my reservations about taking medications and my preference for more holistic methods of treatment. I would absolutely recommend him. His receptionist was very helpful and friendly, and his waiting room has great magazines! I hardly had time to read a single article, however, as there was no wait time whatsoever. I think it was one of the best experiences at a physician's I've ever had, and this comes from a person who has always had a fear of the doctor's office.
He's professional, kind, and listens.
Extremely professional, knowledgable, and thoughtful in our conversation and examination. Really knows his stuff, and I would highly recommend him
very efficient and pleasant
He took the time to talk with me, about 20-30 minutes of talking which led me to feel like I was heard, and treated fairly.
I see Dr. Grubman quite often (I'm an allergy shot patient), and I have never been left waiting. He's a great doctor -- very kind and always willing to take the time to answer my questions. His office manager, Jessica, is also a pleasure to deal with.
Dr. Grubman is a thorough professional and a very kind and compassionate person. Who could ask for anything more?
I am very comfortable and confident with Dr. Grubman.
Very nice and informed guy.
Dr. Grubman is always personable and ready to answer all my questions. It's why he's remained my allergist.
Dr Grubman is an excellent doctor.
Very useful!
Dr Grubman is highly professional and personable. He is very considerate and is very explanitory. He is definitely a great doctor in his field.
great doctor...professional, polite, well run office.
very good. personable and helpful.
Extremely correct!
Dr. Grubman was very knowledgeable and professional. He asked many questions to determine the root cause of the allergic reaction. Receptionist was also very professional. Office is close to subway. Definitely recommend!
He's the best!!! period.
I've been to many doctors, and the one complaint I always have is that they never have time to fully explain what's going on. Dr. Grubman was more than informative about my situation, I didn't feel rushed and I left the appointment with a clear understanding of what is going on, what could happen and what we had just done. This is, in my opinion, one of the most important aspects of being comfortable and confident in any doctor.
Very much enjoyed my appointment with Dr. Grubman. He was thorough and straight forward and I'm looking forward to having him help me with my allergies.
Dr. Grubman was my attending who trained me during my three years of pediatric residency. I simply wouldn't go to any other allergist. He's one of the most remarkably honest, insightful, intelligent, and caring people I've met. Enough said.
Dr Grubman was very professional and very thorough. He was right on time for my appointment, which I greatly appreciate. I would recommend him to anyone who needs to see an allergist!
I was referred by a friend to Dr Grubman's practice and was very pleasantly surprised by the ease in which I was able to secure an appointment and impressed by Dr Grubman's thorough approach. He was knowledgeable, helpful and approachable. I would highly recommend Dr Grubman.
Samuel Grubman is a solid and reliable physician. This is a very high rating considering how horrible many doctors have become in NYC. He was professional, didn't rush, and gave good advice about all aspects of my condition. He allowed me to ask all questions without ever making me feel rushed. Most importantly, when I left his office I felt like I had a plan and a supportive physician that I could consult as needed. Jessica, who seems to run the office was just wonderful as well. All and all, this was an all around Above Average experience.
He is a very nice man.
He was fantastic. He is the first allergist I've been to that understands my needs.
great experience , actually listened to what i had to say
Helpful, professional, and he did not keep me waiting for too long, which is always nice.
The office staff is warm and helpful. The atmosphere of the office is relaxing and well organized. Dr. Grubman was excellent. He asked questions, listened to what I had to say, and made me feel extremely comfortable. He also performed a through examination, had answers and explanations to my questions and came up with a follow-up plan, which put me at ease.
I feel like I am in very capable hands with Dr. Grubman. He is super-smart and friendly-- yet perfectly professional and focused on the medical issues at hand. When I heard about ZocDoc-- from my little brother-in-law, who is in his mid-twenties and, hence, does everything electronically-- I thought it must be too good and too modern to be true. But my experience with this allergist makes me want to find all of my doctors through this website!
Very good, to-the-point doctor. Takes time to understand medical history, as well as the current problem. Nice, good bedside manner, thorough.
Dr. Grubman was excellent. He was easy to talk to, interested, intelligent and open minded. I appreciated the way he adjusted to my background and gave a lot of scientific explanation. He was realistic about the difficulties but also had an attitude of solving the mystery. Great doctor, he followed up personally and reccomended the next step. One of the best doctors I have ever seen!
I was pleased with my visit to Dr. Grubman. He listened, took notes and even gave me print outs with more information for me to read. I'd definitely see him again and recommend him to others.
