Dr. Gruber did not take the time to explain terms and treatments he brought up. I had to ask various follow-up questions to get even the most basic information. His bedside manner was terribly disappointing.

Dr. Gruber was great. Actually I should start with the staff, they were all fantastic. Between the front desk gal, to the x-ray tech, and scheduling gal, they were all very nice, super helpful, not at all rushed, and made sureto be clear with everything and give me options to ask any questions. Dr. Gruber was the same way, didn’t feel like he was trying to brush me off and get to the next person but really give me the opportunity to ask any questions I may have about my issue (torn meniscus).

I have been seeing Dr. Gruber at Integrated Orthopedics for almost 6 years for some chronic orthopedic issues. I rarely stay with a provider for that long, but I have always been exceptionally pleased with his attention and care. His entirestaff is professional, kind, and easy to work with. Highly recommend.

He listened to my concerns, asked questions, he seemed to be truly interested in helping me feel better. Gave me choices if there were any so that I felt I was still in control of my treatment. This is my thirdtime (broken leg twice & now my current issues) of having Dr. Gruber get me back on the road to wellness. He's terrific!

Staff was great. Busy place. Brian was super in asking about my history/problem, explaining what was going on the laying out the therapy steps that were likely. The therapy was short and sweet, and I was on my way and on the mend shortly.

I was very impressed with the professionalism of Dr. Gruber's office staff and medical staff. They were well organized and flexible with my needs. They were able to take an x-ray right there during my appointment. He gave me reasonable suggestionsfor treatment and took plenty to time talking with me. I felt like they actually cared about me as a person. I would definitely go back.

Great doc. Dr. Gruber was a referral from a friend and hes awesome! My last surgeon was a butcher with a huge ego and no soul. Dr. Gruber could be like my successful but down to earth older brother. No complaints at all.

Arrived 10 mins early. Longest wait ever in the waiting room. One hour. Then 1/2 hour in room for X-rays. Then 18 more mins for PA. Never saw Dr. Gruber. Then 12 mins for cortisone shots. In office over 2 hours.I thought I was spending the night. But loved the PA. She was fantastic, so nice, caring and knowledgeable. Wish they would have at least explained the long wait.

The office visit was great, however his staff neglected to order my mri. I called back a week later and explained the MRI wasn’t ordered. They assured me it would be ordered that day and someone would be in contact. Again,It wasn’t ordered and nobody called me back. Inexcusable, repetitive dropping of the ball.

I was very pleased with his professionalism, courtesy, and kindness. He was thorough and answered all of my questions. He gave me treatment options and explained each option in detail. He didn't make me feel like he was rushed either eventhough I know there were other patients waiting. Excellent experience. He was highly recommended by a friend. Now I know why. I would also highly recommend him.
