I was in the procedure room before I knew it and that was that. Dr Grady came out to check on me afterwards and I was home. No muss no fuss. The anesthesiologist was cool and the nurses are aces."

"First appointment went very well. Nice office with friendly check-in. The doctor took his time with me and I liked him very much. My husband has been seeing Dr. Grade for many years and he likes him very much."
"The check-in and check-out process was incredibly efficient. The anesthesia administered was both gentle and highly effective. There was no lingering grogginess afterward, allowing me to stay awake and alert throughout the day, with just a brief 20-minute nap at 4 pm.The only minor issue to note is that it took three attempts to find a vein for the procedure, with two pokes on my right arm proving unsuccessful before finding a suitable vein in my left arm.Nevertheless, my overall experience was excellent. I greatly appreciate the consistently high-quality service you provide, and I encourage you to maintain these high standards."

He listened to all my concerns compassionately, took my symptoms seriously, and made me feel like a valued patient. I wasn't rushed or dismissed as many doctors can and do. I really felt cared for and knowing my financial hardships, he started slow with treatment and tests based on my affordability, eased my worries, and assured me I was in good hands, and set up a follow-up appointment to see if my symptoms had improved. I came to him because he is also my Mom's GI specialist and has taken good care of her, and it was great to know that he consistently offers the same care, compassion, and communication. I also feel his office staff upholds the same values and takes care of the patients' needs and concerns consistently from start to finish."

"Great Dr who actually listens and tries to find good solutions."
"I have been seeing Dr. Grade for over 5 years. I credit him with saving my life. I feel the review regarding calling for “2nd Opinion” as unfair and has nothing to do with Dr. Grade himself. He is part of a group, Arizona Digestive. Whomever answered the phone does not even work in the office where Grade resides. Perhaps they needed a referral? With that said, I gladly drive all the way to Queen Creek to see Grade. This review is about DR. GRADE. When he first started treating me, I had rapidly lost 40 lbs in one year, 50 total, with no effort. I was terrified. Dr. Grade approaches his patients as a “whole entity”, not just with his specialty in mind. He was Uber responsible; sending me to an oncologist, getting me into Mayo for specialized tests, ordering all the right tests, all the while LISTENING and believing me that I felt I had an autoimmune disease, not just Gastroparesis. Because of him, his willingness to support non-FDA approaches (Botox treatments on my stomach, writing a prescription for Motilium which I get overseas and HELPS my stomach to digest, getting me neuro, colonic, pelvic floor function tests, making sure I have a cardiologist, etc) he has literally “saved” me. I have my diagnoses, treatments, and can live with some quality of life. He CARES. And because of him,we have connected many dots as to what is going on with my body as a whole, and I ended up with Dysautonomia as well (which I would have never known had he not gotten me into Mayo for tests)—huge connection with Dysautonomia & gastro paralysis!! most doctors wouldn’t listen or work that hard to get answers. I’ve been able to avoid a feeding tube, and gain weight. Dr. Grade is, without hesitation the best doctor I have ever encountered. And that is saying a lot coming from someone who worked in the medical field with MANY doctors (me). He treats the patient, not just the symptom. He has been voted one of the best gastroenterologists in the COUNTRY. And, he deserves it. I’m LUCKY."
"Through, patiently listens and explains."
"Dr. Grade is an amazing doctor. A specialist who knows his practice. Sandi and Veronica (staff) were very helpful in billing."
