I was highly impressed by the office and the staff! New, clean, large office with the nicest staff. Everything explained and expectations managed. I have never encountered such an efficient office down to real-time insurance approval for an injection! It was so refreshing! Dr. Groth was top-notch! He was professional, kind and knowledgeable. I was in pain and was scheduled through another practice for pain management and had to wait over a month for an appt...i just couldn't wait that long! I was able to get an appt here next day! Within 1 hour, I had my consult, insurance approval, and then epidural. I was utterly blown away overall and highly recommend!

I am 100% happy and thankful for my visit there.
December 1, 2022Evadney T.Verified patient
Dr. Groth's team is great. My only concern is the delay calling in for an authorization for an MRI and a prescription. Apparently, they don't do these immediately ( my appointment was at 10:00am). They wait until the end of the day. It would have been much better to take care of these today.

I only like dr groth everyone else is a no go
August 16, 2022Rasheeda L.Verified patient
That appointment was made the night before on zocdoc because my knee was killing me. I’ve been a patient of Dr Groths for 12 years since my car accident in which I have chronic back pain from herniated discs in my thoracic region. He also helps with any other issues and on that day I happen to see Marissa who was so attentive and helpful to my needs. She went over my MRI on my knee with me and continued to use the sonogram so she could give me injection to help me walk better. I would encourage any patient with a chronic pain injury, or any injury that he could help you with to use his offices. Great job Marissa

Attentive, kind and thorough.
April 21, 2022Adrienne G.Verified patient
Dr.Groth was personable and knowledgeable. He took the time to go over my symptoms and suggest a plan of action to try and alleviate pain from cervical herniated disc. I couldn’t be happier. He was able to give me an injection the same for my pain and I am already feeling some relief.
Also, the whole office staff were very friendly and attentive.
If you are in pain, come see Dr. Groth!

The best of the best. Dr Timothy Groth is right on top of things all the time. Doesn't get any better. The staff is great as well. When I am down and out they for the most part always get me in that day. If Dr Groth was a woman I would marry him. ??

Wonderful, caring physician who actually listens/hears you. I left my first appointment with happy tears of genuine relief. As someone who truly struggles with some degree of pain every•single•day of my life, it’s heartening to have a doctor who offers hope and understanding.

Dr. Groth was very pleasant and patient. He listened to my injury history intently and answered questions I had regarding treatment. When it came to the epidural he explained what he was going to do before he did it and what I should expect to feel. Absolutely wonderful experience.
