      from Philip 5.0 Stars - (2025-01-01)
  • "Hands down the scammiest doctor I have ever encountered. Not only was he creepy and inappropriate during my in-person visit, but he insisted on doing a full hematology panel (far beyond what I had been referred for or had been expecting), which as I had feared, resulted in a huge surprise medical bill. To interpret my results (which were very simple), Gruenstein's office insisted I set up an in-person visit, which was unnecessary. I asked for a remote visit, and when they finally allowed that, no one contacted me at the scheduled time. His nurse finally called me, 45 minutes late, and "explained" my results, which I had already received online, for 30 seconds. I was billed $300 for this "visit". I will never go back to this office - total scam and was a very uncomfortable experience."

  • "Dr Gruenstein is the most amazing doctor. He’s absolutely hilarious which helps calm any nerves you have. He’s very smart and he is an extremely respectful person which reflects on his staff. The entire office is kind and caring. Most importantly, Dr Gruenstein cares about every patient. If your case is out of the ordinary, he doesn’t give up. I was turned away from many doctors because my case was “too complicated.” But, Dr Gruenstein continues to work with me and search for an answer. If you are looking for a hematologist and/or cancer specialist, Dr Gruenstein is 100% the guy to choose."
