Dr. Grinspan is a wonderful doctor. He took the time to go over everything with me and was so lovely. He put my mind at ease and discussed next steps in my care. I highly recommend him and wish all doctors were like him.

I had the opportunity today of seeing Dr. Ari Grinspan for the 2nd time, and all I can say is--where has he been all of my life? He is the nicest, most caring, kindest, most compassionate, super-intelligent and knowledgeable physician I have met in a long time who genuinely cares about the patient sitting in front of him. He is able to explain in terms that I could understand. He devised a plan based on lab tests, and I left his office filled with hope. I asked him to please help shepherd me through this, and he said he had my back. I wept several times during the appointment (mostly tears of relief), and he kindly nudged a box of Kleenex my way. I cannot say enough good things about him. He's so YOUNG to be so wise. If he could be cloned, the world would be wise to because he's the real deal. He's the kind of doctor you hoped for back in the 50s and 60s. I am so lucky to have found him online and booked an appointment with him. Surely God was smiling on me that day.

Great communicator and listener.
I would recommend Dr. Grinspan to a friend. He has an extraordinary bedside manner and is very friendly and understanding. He is very easy to talk to. I actually look forward to my visits.
Dr. Grinspan is an incredible gastroenterologist. He was very interested in my story and what we are going to do about it. He was interested even in the smallest details and made me feel like everything will be okay. I have been having issues with fatigue and he is the first GI out of three that was interested in investigating it since it is a major problem for me. He is great with communication and is willing to answer any questions you have while at home. He is quick to respond via MyChart and even gave me a personal call to discuss my test results. I would recommend Dr. Grinspan a million times.

Verified patient
Dr Grinspan is an incredible practitioner and fully engaged / attentive to my patient needs. He makes himself available, listens to me and takes the time to explain the science behind everything (from lab results to more practical impacts of a diagnoses and Rx side effects). Along the way, he demonstrates sympathy, passion in his field/specialization, and a high level of competent management skills in helping me navigate the medical maze known as American medicine. I consider him a supreme advocate of my health.

Verified patient
Dr. Grinspan listens to what your symptoms are and never pushes medication you right away. He like to try different things first, to see if that will help you with your symptoms. Then after exhausting all measures then he will prescribe you a medication.. He explains everything in details and ask you do you understand what he just explained.. I highly recommend Dr. Grinspan.
Verified patient
Dr. Grinspan is very kind and very positive. He listens closely, let’s you speak and ask questions, and is very clear in his analysis, diagnosis and in explaining what you should do or not do. He’s helped me enormously. He always responds quickly to any questions or concerns when I contact him through his online service. He’s the best!

I travel from another state to see Dr. Grinspan, and it's worth every minute. He's extremely knowledgeable, has a quick mind, a great sense of humor, and explains everything in detail. He always takes a lot of time to answer my (many) questions, and I never feel rushed. I have a greater understanding of my health and a valuable sense of reassurance thanks to Dr. Grinspan. He's the best!
Verified patient
Dr. Grinspan is without a doubt one of the best doctors i have ever met. He is thoughtful and knowledgeable and took the time to answer any question I had and answered and provided treatment options with an incredible amount and patience and care. Cannot say enough amazing things about him! He's also so beyond funny and makes an otherwise uncomfortable situation so much better!
Dr Ari Grinspan is what I wish all of my doctors were like. He makes me feel comfortable that my health is being taken care of, and I am always comfortable sharing whatever comes up with him. As a girl in my 20’s it can be hard for me to relate to my GI doctors but Dr. Grinspan is the best I’ve seen in my 10 years of GI health needs.
Verified patient
He's amazing! I'm grateful and hopeful I won't have to see him much, but he's a great doctor, and I can't recommend him enough to anyone who needs a GI doctor!

Verified patient
I was happy with my appointment.
Best doctor ever. He listens, explains medical conditions to great extent and helps explain any medications you may be starting for treatment. He is extremely smart and came up with a treatment plan for me. Not all doctors are smart believe it or not. Staff is professional and helpful and hospital is great. If you have IBD, he is the man.
Dr. Grinspan took an immense amount of time and care in listening to what was a very complex medical history and current condition. He listened with respect, re-iterated many concerns back to me, and spoke with a forthrightness and honesty that I found refreshing. He is a an energetic provider who truly made me feel as though he was working with me to help find solutions. I could not recommend him enough for those looking for more specialized gastrointestinal care.
Verified patient
Professional , warm and friendly doctor. Unable to help us with our illness, because this is not part of his practice at present, but offered hope for the future. Highly recommend him.
