Went in to remove Basel cancer from my face. He has the best bed side manner! Made me feel comfortable from the start. Put on music of my choice when stitching me up. He made it fun, is that possible? But he did make it a very positive experience. And I feel confident that I’m not going to end up as Mrs Scar Face! Thx Dr Gruber!!!

I had a blast! Let me explain… I’m an old nurse so fear of surgical procedures isn’t in my nature. I recognize medical professionals who have been highly educated and are therefore skilled in their fields of practice. I hold them in deepest respect. I could immediately recognize these traits in both the doctor, and the nurse. I trusted them fully, which I’m often reluctant to do. The area (skin cancer on the front of my upper biceps) was large and resulted in a long incision in a very visible place, but the closure was smooth and I’m pleased with the results. I experienced absolutely no pain. I was asked what music I’d like to listen to, which was played softly…but I had a blast just chatting along about silly things. They have the GREATEST PERSONALITIES! That was the best part. Smiles and laughter mean more than stitches in stressful times and I don’t even know how long I was there…felt like 5 minutes before the doctor said he was finished…so yes, I had a blast!

It was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. Paul and his whole team were very professional to me. They made me feel comfortable like I was part of the family. I am so glad that he’s the one that did the surgery on me. I will recommend him to my friends and families for sure. Thank you once again, and God bless you

The staff was friendly and helpful. Dr Gruber did a fantastic job on my nose with Moh’s surgery. I got lots of compliments about how good it looked. I would recommend him to anyone who needed surgery.

Impressively efficient and gentle.

Dr Gruber is very caring. I was a bit anxious about my surgery so he met with me beforehand to explain the procedure. He also prescribed diazepam to calm my nerves before the surgery. His staff is wonderful. The only thing that was difficult was the scheduling itself. I played a bit of phone tag before I was able to get scheduled. But still a 5 star rating from me!

I was very nervous about the whole procedure. It took less time than I thought it would because I was listening to Dr Gruber and staff singing to the radio. I went to the plastic surgeon afterwards and they said he did a great job.
