The only interest to be considered is the interest of the patient. This necessitates the development of a tailored care plan for each individual, recognizing that each patient's circumstances and challenges are distinct. Furthermore, I view myself, the patient and their family as a cohesive team, collaboratively engaging in the diagnostic and treatment processes through shared decision-making and mutual cooperation.

Rating & Reviews
The provider was clear and upfront with the information. She was compassionate while delivering some difficult news. She was incredibly knowledgeable and I trusted her opinion and advice.
Everyone was so kind and caring from the moment we arrived until we left. Thank you for putting us at ease for the whole visit!
Dr. Grimsby is kind, knowledgable, and makes information easy to understand. She had some great ideas for our child's care that had not been suggested by any other providers in the five years we have been managing this particular health concern. We are so grateful to have been given new avenues to explore to help our child feel as healthy as possible.
Thank you very much everyone. Professional team, clean place, warm welcome. I appreciate everyone.

Having relocated to AZ and really really not liking our experience with previous urologists I cannot say enough good things about this practice. Timely attentive and just overall kind doctor.
Dr Grimsby and her staff were incredible. Was able to get us into a specialist in under a week'_ Outstanding. Everyone was super knowledgeable, personable, professional, and took their time discussing what was going on with our daughter. Wait times were super low. We saw the doctor in under 15 minutes. Extremely helpful and patient, allowed time for as many questions as we may have had. We walked away with a much better understanding of what is going on and a reasonable care plan to follow. A+ to everyone involved. Thank you Phoenix Children's!
We traveled from out of state to see Dr.grimsby and she was very knowledgeable and helped us understand my child's condition. She made us feel confident that they will be able to proceed with a great treatment plan that we are comfortable with.
