I had an appointment with Dr. Grear for some ongoing wrist pain I was having. The initial appointment was in October. I had an appointment at 2-230pm and I wasn't seen until about 330-4pm. He did not even look at me, knock on the door or wash his hands. He asked me very quick, yes or no answers. He did a quick exam with my fingers to see if i could resist some pressure. Sent me straight to x-ray. Waited another 20 minutes until he came in and told me i didnt break anything. Then he proceded to tell me what I already knew; th... read more

I always always always have problems with this doctors office. Terrible customer service, they don't care about their patients. Every time I call for a prescription they put me on hold forever when I just need them to write it so that I can pick it up. It has been the same medicine i have taken every month for the last 9 years and they still cant seem to EVER find my paperwork. That means they have had 108 times to practice WRITING A NOTE FOR THE DOCTOR. They also leave me on hold every time for usually 18-20 minutes. I am t... read more

Malpractice suit waiting to happen – My 2 year old broke his leg and we were referred to their Orthopedic associates by the emergency room to have his cast put on. His pain was worse than in the splint after the rough application of the cast by the doctor and his "nurse" (the receptionist), and the water was squeezed out of the cast (putting direct pressure on his fracture). After calling the office for advice on his pain management and being told simply to "elevate" it, I searched for an Orthopedic specialist that could giv... read more

Awful. Just awful. – This place is ab-so-lute-ly terrible. Although this is not my only horror story from this place, its the most recent so here goes: I went in with serious back pain, and the doc ordered an xray. Got the xray later that day and they said 24-48 hours for results. NINE days and five phone calls and messages later, I get a call at 9:30 at night from a nurse who speaks broken English telling me there is no fracture. Only problem is the doctor told me the likely culprit was a herniated disc, not a fracture. So ... read more

Good care – I went to Fahey Medical Center and specifically Dr. Graer after needing a second opinion for a broken bone. I read these reviews prior to my appointment and became concerned by the negative feedback (to the point that I nearly canceled my appointment). Now that I've been there twice, I have to say that I disagree with these negative reviews. Fahey's building is certainly old-school, but I was pleasantly surprised by my experience. The first time I went there, I had to wait for a half-hour or so. That said, Dr. Gr... read more

poor customer service – If you don't mind waiting on hold for 10 plus minutes and then treated with a horrible attitude by staff members that just can't seem to get it together or go the extra mile for you, then by all means, try your luck. The staff needs training or a new line of work. If you are patient and can advocate for yourself, you'll be fine. Routine medical services have been fine, it's just the support personnel that are bad.

THE WORST ORTHOPEDIST IN THE WORLD – I've been going to Fahey for years since my regular physician is there and although the staff is snippy I put up with it because I like my physician. I was referred to Dr. Grear through my HMO. The worst experience I ever had with a physician. He did not examine my knee, which was my main complaint, did not take any info from me, used medical jargon which I did not understand and then proceeded to decline sending me to physical therapy which had worked very well for me in the past. He gav... read more
