Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Great family Physician

Do Not expect to have any of your calls returned. Do Not run out of medicine. It will not be called to pharmacy. Do Not expect to ever see or hear about your lab or bloodwork. Do Not leave a message unless you just want to waste your time.

I have referred Dr Grotefendt to friends and co-workers and everyone agrees with me that he is probably one of the smartest doctors. He has amazing knowledge on a multitude of conditions. He always takes time to answer questions, but above all else I truly owe him my life because of thorough care.

I have been going to Dr. G for about 10 years and I think he is absolutely wonderful. I have chronic bronchitis and do not always have a need to go to the office. He is very understanding and will prescribe what I need and never over prescribes. I am now living in Nashville and wish I could have brought him with me. I do agree that Marlene was a sweetheart and his new nurse not so much. How ever the new staff since moving to the Ooltewah office is hands down the best office staff.....ever!

Dr G himself is an adequate physician. When my visits to Dr G initially started he and his staff were very attentive to my needs and very respectable. After my first year as a patient things changed and so did the staff. His previous nurse Miss Merlene was fabulous but his new nurse nor the good Dr. will even return phone calls anymore. I have recommended many people to Dr. G in the past but will no longer do that.
