Dr. Michael Tannehill Grier, MD

I was a patient of his back in 2001, every visit I went to see him all he cared about was insurance and getting paid.his eyes were always glaised over like he was on pills.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Grier for about 15 years. I have fibromyalgia, back and hip problems. He has kept me moving for years.

I would love to know who you are so I could try to explain what happened to you. I obviously have no idea what might have caused you to get worse; maybe it was something about the injections we did but maybe your condition simply got terribly worse. Just like any other kind of medical specialty, there are certain conditions that we cannot always cure. We see 150-200 patients a day between all the providers in our clinic and yes, if you come an hour late, even if it's not your fault, you'll probably have to reschedule. We do advertise a $200 no-show fee for an injection appointment because for every one we schedule, there are ten more who have been put off until later to give you your turn so we want you to keep your appointment, or at least give us enough notice so we can let someone else who is waiting behind you have their turn. You said your appointment was to discuss your X-ray results. The no-show fee for that kind of appointment is only $35 and most of those are waived if… you have any kind of reasonable excuse. In nearly twenty years in practice, I can't remember ever enforcing a $200 no-show fee. Finally, if you go to a lawyer, an accountant, a financial planner or most any other professional and ask them to prepare a signed document for you, they are most likely going to charge you for it. I don't' think $15 is unreasonable. There are a lot of expenses involved in running a medical practice and I can guarantee you, I'm not getting rich on late fees and dismissal letters. Michael T.

I saw dr.Grier for app.1 year..I took a series of 4 spinal shots from him last year.I could walk without help before I took the shots.After taking the forth shot I could no longer walk alone.I had to get a walker and a cane and I have to have assistance to walk now..the Dr Grier never explained to me why this happened to me.I was going to let them treat me for my arm hurting a few weeks ago.They sent me to have xray done.I was to follow up with an appt.to get results of xrays that I had done at anmed.My appt.with Dr Grier was at 2pm and I thought it was at 3pm.I tried to come late but they told me I would have to reschedule and pay a fee of $200.00 ..I refused to pay for an appt.where I didn't even see the dr... They would not reschedule me because I didn't pay the 200.00 fee. I SELF DISMISSED last week .I do not recommend this Dr Grier.I wish I had never went to him because I could walk before his shots in my spine.Now I can't walk without help . Its been app.1 year ago since I… had the shots and I still can't walk without help.They never explained to me why this happened to me. I don't recommend .Its crazy for them to charge me $200.00 for missed appt and they would not work with me at all.I was left hanging I SELF DISMISSED and they charged me 15.00 just to get 1 paper that said I am released from them.I do not recommend.I wish I had never went.

I started seeing Dr. Grier a few years ago and I must say he's by far the best pain management doctor I've ever seen. He explains everything very well, he listens to his patients and the whole staff at Piedmont Comprehensive Pain is wonderful. Highly recommended Doctor and Practice.

By the time I was finally referred to his office, I was in the worst pain I have ever experienced. It was just totally unbelievable! Dr. Grier set me up with a set of 3 facet joint injections and my pain level has dropped from a 10+ (on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the worst), After each injection, the pain level and my range of motion improved. Now I would put my pain level at a 3-4. He has some other options to try to get it even better, but this is a vast improvement!! Wait time is generally a bit long.
