She is the best, always goes above and beyond for my child. I cannot thank her enough for what she does.

She is absolutely awful, prescribes medications to kids like it's candy , never does she suggest diet changes or therapy to treat a patient , and writes outrageous doctor notes with no follow up and no facts proven.

I absolutely love Dr Grimes! She has been my doctor for my whole life and she is very Profesional and although she's not the best with being on time, she definitely does her best considering she is really busy. I have a huge gear of needles, and whenever she has to give me one, I will always be like "no nonono" (I have anxiety and few years ago realized that was a panic attack but she also was the one who diagnosed me!) And even though I freak out every time, she won't take that from me! She cuts right to the case! Love ya Dr Grimes!

When I was 13 I was tested for ADHD despite having unknowingly been experiencing absence seizures. I was then told by Dr. Grimes to have an EEG to test whether or not what I was experiencing was neurological, whether it was epilepsy. I got my EEG, and not once did my family receive a follow up call or appointment to inform me that I in fact was experiencing Epilepsy. We assumed the EEG came back with nothing significant as a result of not being told anything and so we also assumed I was just a bit selective or had trouble listening.

I was never given medication or treatment as a result. Later that year I had my first grand mal/tonic clonic seizure. I went to the hospital and they said it was probably just a one off situation as I was now fine. Later that week, I had another grand mal seizure. We went to the hospital again, and brought up that I had had an EEG done much earlier that year. They had to contact the hospital I had my EEG at, and so the nurse in the emergency room was the person to deliver the information that I had been confirmed to been dealing with Epilepsy.

So thanks to Dr. Grimes I experienced epilepsy for long enough that it had not only worsened, but became a permanent disability that I now have to live with. I cannot afford to live on my own as a result. I rely on others monitoring my safety, and I will never be a fully independent person. To this day I experience break through seizures that I've been told by multiple neurologists I most likely wouldn't have had to deal with for the rest of my life had I been informed of my epilepsy and placed on medications.

Now I'm in the process of searching for a seizure alert dog, but they are extremely costly at around $15,000. I've had to make the decision to attend post secondary without a dog or to opt out and finally gain a semblance of independence.

If I had a child I would never trust this doctor with them. I had a chance at a normal life, but because of her carelessness I had gone so long without help that it became a permanent disability.

DR.Grimes actually saved my life she was able to diagnose me when i was sick and in pain for over a month she listened to everything my stepmother knew about what was happening for an hour and a half then talked about lupus then ran some tests on me me and my stepmom left the office and two days later my parents got a call from dr grimes telling them to take me to the hospital she even fought with my dad when he tried to say no .I was admitted for a week where I was treated and then released to be an outpatient i went to chemo every second Monday. I was 15 when this happened I'm now 18 and healthy if DR.Grimes didn't come into my life when she did i would not be here right now. she truly does care about her patients and really strives to help and find a diagnosis as soon as she can. she is really nice and good with people who have anxiety (i also have anxiety). Thank you dr grimes!
