Mr. Paul Leonard Grindstaff

Dr. Grindstaff is unhelpful and will waste your time and money. He does not care how much your insurance will charge you for the bogus tests and bloodwork he orders. It seems like his strategy is to try what pops into his head first, instead of actually speaking with you about your issues at a deeper level. Find someone else to go to.

I had recurring seizure disorder and severe migraine disorder before I was introduced to Dr. Grindsaff and he changed my medications until he found the right ones to work together and stopped my seizures and treated my migraines unlike any other Dr I have been to and I have been to many doctors. Highly recommended!

My visit with Dr Grindstaff was good he was very compassionate and knowledgeable and helped me understand everything. He ordered an MRI for me to follow up. Unfortunately, after my MRI the results were not great but they were released to me several days before anyone contacted me, then a CTA scan ordered with the same thing results released nobody called for several days and I had to play phone tag before I could speak to someone about the troublesome results. I believe they could have done a better job especially with a challenging finding this info should not go to the patient until after someone talks to them. Maybe with Covid around this is the best they can do now very sad.

Excellent Doctor!! He is very knowledgeable and Northwestern is lucky to have him on the Neurology staff. He always is pleasant and up to date on the latest medicines and treatments for Migraine. I do not understand how anyone could give him a negative review. I can only surmise they must have an ulterior motive.

I went to this Dr. Grindstaff looking for help. After seeing him for a third time, I have been waiting for over a month for a callback. He forgot about me! I wasted money and time with this guy and have nothing to show for it but regrets. Total disrespect from a so called Doctor!

Took the time to listen to me and did not make me feel rushed like some doctors. Recommend this doctor. Nurses and staff are very friendly.

Extremely knowledgeable and informative. He took the time to help explain the diagnosis so we could understand. Feel like we are in great care with Doctor Grindstaff!

Dr. Grindstaff didn't seem to have much time to listen to me, he had me stop explaining my issues and said we will talk about them after getting imagine done. Once imaging was done, his office called to tell me he put me on an old prescription that I discussed with him didn't work for me and made me feel worse. From there, they told me to follow up with a primary care doctor. Dr. Grindstaff didn't seem to care about my issues and left me feeling like he got my money and that's all he wanted.

Doctor Grindstaff is an excellent neurologist! I have seen him (and another doctor in his practice) for over 10 years. He is knowledgeable, kind, courteous and an expert in his field. He has never once missed an appointment or made me wait. I have had nothing but great experiences. I would spend alot more time in the hospital if it wasn't for him helping me stay out of the ER and managing my condition. He is an excellent Doctor and I recommend him highly! I would be very suspicious of any bad reviews.

In my first visit, Dr. Grindstaff spent a total of 10 minutes with me. All he did was upset me after me giving him a wrap up of a month old injury. Dr. Grindstaff barely spent any time with me at all. When I asked questions, they seemed like an inconvience to him. I left the appointments with more questions than answers. Very disappointing.

Arrogant. Dismissive. Laughed at my pain. Still waiting for Office Manager to call me after situation. Waited 5 weeks to get in and this happened. Horrible.

I met with Dr. Grindataff a couple of times many years in between. He was very kind and caring. I felt very comfortable. He did not rush and listened to what I had to say. The 2nd time, I had a different issue, and my first choice was Dr Grindstaff. So I made an appointment. I then saw Dr. Grindstaff. He was as easy going, caring and patient. He heard my concerns and addressed them fully. I feel heard which I did not feel with many doctors. I would recommend Dr Grindstaff

We were very pleased with this Doctor. My husband is the patient. Dr. Was personable, thorough in explanation, took as much time as we needed. And made us feel very ccomfortable. We met twice and each time was very good. Yes, we would recommend! Only one thing, the room we were placed in, you could see dust and dirt all over the floor between the exam table and wall. It really must not have been dusted and swept for an extremely long time. They should monitor the cleaning personnel.

Dr. Grindstaff came in acting as he had no interest in my husband's case. We were referred to him by another specialist because he feels there is something wrong with his central nervous system. Dr. Grindstaff just said he didn't feel it was a "brain problem" and told us to go back to the other doctor. I am a medical provider and have seen some non-compassionate providers in the past, but he was by far my least favorite. Sad that I am not comfortable referring my patients to him.

No exam nor history prior to EMG, including contraindications that would affect results. Report was as minimal as possible. Did not test all nerves/muscles indicated. Did not clean/prep the area. Room had a wrapper on the floor. Horrible bedside manner. Rude/standoffish. Rushed. Felt I was inconveniencing him. Did not follow protocol for testing or reporting I found out after researching. Will be having a repeat EMG due to the above.

Well I am very confused at Dr. Grindstaff's reviews. One of them said, she had no diagnosis after a hospital stay, and all their tests. Did Dr. Grindstaff order these tests? Why didn't you take over your own medical decisions? Like calling up the hospital that these tests were performed. Also if that is something that scares you, then talk to a person on the help line. You can blame the nurses for being rude. Also the Doctor doesn't know that they are being rude, you need to tell them in person.

I was discharged from the hospital for 3 1/2 weeks and no answers to the tests that were taken. The office staff is rude. They told me my EMG results were normal when in fact I failed. Alot miscommunication by the office staff. They don't call you back. You have to call them alot. They forgot to do part of my test and wanted me to come back 6 days later. You never get to speak with a doctor after tests unless you make an appointment .Go elsewhere if u can

I had read the lack of communication from the staff was a big problem but decided to ignore it. After running all of the expensive test and not finding anything, they tell me my diagnosis from a blood draw. Something they had access to weeks before any of the expensive tests. When I asked the Assistant why they hadn't let me know before since they had my blood results weeks ago, she stated " he wanted to rule out everything". Beware of their scam, they will try to get as much from you as possibl

Please disregard the 5-stars illustrated above, my presumption is more people will pay attention to an excellent rating than to the contrary. By far worst person/Md I have encountered. Lack of empathy, attentiveness, and communication are just a few of the laundry list of admirable qualities you will encounter during diagnosis; however, you can count on only speaking with staff post-diagnosis. Randomly encountered another lucky person who shared these feelings exactly and it's 2 random 2 not shr
