Dr. Kelli Folgman Grinder, MD

Didn't care for her. Dismissive, rushing and rude and seems to have some kind of preconceived prejudice if people ask about pain treatment. I am not some druggie and have a medical history of being treated for pain. She kept saying "no narcotics" but wouldn't offer other solutions which I would have been willing to try besides expensive dramatic testing like MRIs and CAT scans. I went somewhere else and got anti-inflammation medication to last for a week, exercise recommendations and a simple xray exam until I can get to a pain clinic next week and another a gastro doctor for my stomach pains. Will not be going back to her again though. I do not trust her ability to be empathetic to patients. "Tina" the front desk staff is amazing though . I wish she could be my doctor instead, she made me feel comfortable just by really listening when I was upset. Imagine being in pain and stress for months, not being able to sleep at night because of worry, finally being able to get into an appointment because the American health system is a cash-waiting joke, getting there an hour early excited to finally be helped, waiting another 20 minutes for the doctor to come to my room....only to leave in 15 mins without any solution. I was in near tears. Awful. I get its a hectic time and people maybe experiencing burn out but if that's the case she needs to take a vacation and get refreshed again. This is not a job where you can be selective about how helpful you are one day to the next. And you don't know what people are going through. I am a caregiver myself and have been also sacrificing my finances taking care of my elders in lieu of my own health I don't have extra money for expensive tests when I need to take care of them in a more immediate way for their health. Again, I am not some cheap druggie just looking for an easy cheap fix which was the impression I got from her countenance and responses.

She’s so dismissive, rude, and just unwilling to listen. I told her I had excruciating back pain (which isn’t all that common in someone in their teens and early twenties) and all she would say was, “It’s because you’re overweight.” And while I understand that’s a contributing factor, it definitely wasn’t the only thing. Come to find out after going to a different doctor, I have a degenerative disc disorder. Dr. Grinder didn’t even care enough to do any tests. She just dismissed almost every issue I had while I was seeing her. I don’t recommend her at all. Her staff is kind and caring, but as for her, not so much.

Great doctor! She listens to what you have to say and is very understanding. She's very interested in her patients overall health.

I have been going to Dr.Kelli for several years. She is kind and takes time to listen to me. always offers good advice.

She's very rude and dismissive. I would not recommend her for family or friends!
