Excellent bedside manner. Great communication skills.

Dr. Grimm was an excellent podiatry. This was my first visit with him. He was so helpful in explaining my xrays to me. I actually saw pictures of them. He also gave me inputs on shoes that a person with xxx needed to wear. I will definitely be going back to Dr. Grimm.
