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.

Horribly condescending and unhelpful. Lied to me about my treatment plan and told me he wished there was more he could do. If he can't help people, why is he a doctor?

Dr. Grayden has a wealth of experience, extremely knowledgeable and listened to our concerns. He was concerned about aftercare and helped with referral.

Dr. Grayden is releasing my 20 year old son from Mission Viejo Bahavioral Hospital when he is not med compliant and still having psychotic episodes. We know this from the charge nurses. Our insurance runs out today so Dr. Grayden is giving him the boot to a treatment center that my son will probably walk from. Dr. Grayden's response was "I guess he will be homeless". Unbelievable!!!!!

Zero stars. This man should not be practicing and should not be licensed. What he did to our daughter is a replication of the movie "One flew over the cuckoos nest". Stay away from this guy, he and his staff at Mission Hospital Laguna falsely diagnose patients to keep there beds filled with good paying insurance companies. This man is unprofessional, pompous, rude, especially when he knows he is wrong. Stay away from this guy. He does not comply with professional, legal and ethical guidelines.

This is clearly one of the most arrogant and non-patient centric physician in my lifetime experience. After three day of attempting to contact Dr Graydon I was only able to speak with him as he was present on the unit. I was not allowed to even ask a question regarding the status one of his patients (my brother) even though I stated I currently have medical power of attorney and the authorization to make medical decisions for him. Instead I was berated and handed off to a mid level provider

Overmedicated my mother without giving me specific warnings on taking antipsychotic drugs over an extended period of time to a 92 year old woman with advanced dementia. He didn't take the time to explain the risks of the drugs to me at the time of discharge from Anaheim Global.
