I can not say anything bad about Dr Grijnsztein. I have been in the medical field over 18 years so I am very familiar with the different personalities a physician can have. I have been taking my daughter to the great neck office over 5 years now. I can easily get an appointment, never a long wait when we arrive. Friendly staff. I feel that he is very knowledgeable. No complaints from this Mom.

He called me to yell and scream after he found out we got a second opionion on his diagnosis. His vanity and unprofessionalism leaves me speechless as I’m still unable to comprehend how a person with no empathy, humility and professionalism is allowed to practice medicine; and treat our children nonetheless.

My children have been going to Dr G for 5 years now, he is patient and kind and my kids love him. I love the office staff, the ladies are accommodating and sweet. The office is clean and I love the fact that there is a lab on the premises.

Dr. G is an amazing patient man. My 6 year old has many illnesses and autism and we are there often. He is always willing to see us as well as speak to me on the phone. He has made wonderful recommendations for many specialists that we have used and loved. He is patient and explains things in simple terms. He is a kind man who truly enjoys taking care of children. If anyone feels differently, they obviously have not spent enough time with him. He is caring and gentle and comforting. We love him.
