I have been a patient of Dr. Gruen's for about 15 years and can say only great things about her and her staff. She is an excellent listener, gives a thorough exam and never rushes your time with her. I would highly recommend Dr. Gruen for anyone looking for a fabulous doctor.

I can't recommend Dr. Gruen enough. I saw her recently for the removal of two massive moles on my back and she was funny, professional, and smart. The removals were quick and painless and I couldn't be happier. Thank you Dr. Gruen!

Dr. Gruen is wonderful. She is very smart, caring, and knowledgeable. Both I and my teenaged son have been to see her multiple times and I was so impressed with how sensitively she handled my son's issues - not easy to talk with a woman about some of them! As far as the one negative review above: the reviewer complained that Dr. Gruen didn't sit during the visit. Dr. Gruen never sits!! she is, as another reviewed stated, a "whirlwind of energy." As far as not answering questions, I can understand that's annoying when you're worried, but I'm guessing Dr. Gruen fit this person in on a busy day, knew this was not a dire problem and assumed that this individual would follow up as needed. It's regretful that Dr. Gruen was particularly rushed on that day. I've been seeing Dr. Gruen for a number of years now and she is the best dermatologist I've ever seen.
