Dr. David T Griger, DO

I have had bad autoimmune bloodwork for years, testing postive for 2 different antibodies (anti-chromatin antibodies & anti-scleroderma 70 antibodies) & have been ANA positive for years. He shrugged me off and said it was likely a false positive, when I was suffering with different symptoms & immense pain, which was Lupus & Scleroderma cross-over symptoms. He said because he didn't VISIBLY see anything, that he couldn't figure it out. I also have EDS/Joint hypermobility & he didn't seem to care or take that seriously. He also admitted he had no knowledge on it. He's done the same to some other patients. Waste of my time.

Rude and condescending. Staff equally rude, though not condescending. I got zero help from him. Money grab and waste of copay.

I was a patient of this doctor several years ago. I had been followed for high ANA and had chronic unresolved symptoms of possible Lyme disease. This doctor was so convinced I did not have Lyme that he would not even do a blood test. Since I had no insurance I could not get a proper diagnosis for a year, when 2 doctors diagnose my Lyme disease accurately. He also told me that since my ANA was stable over a period of time I no longer needed to be followed by a rheumatologist. Fortunately I did not listen. I was subsequently diagnosed with MCTD and after my ordeal with chronic Lyme, it progressed to full blown SLE. If you are female stay away from this doctor. These conditions have ruined my life. If my Lyme had been treated earlier, perhaps I would not have developed Lupus. I cannot think of any reason for a doctor to refuse to do a routine lab test to rule out or confirm a serious illness
