I think that every patient deserves a personalized treatment plan and should be treated like family. Educating my patients about their diagnosis, what it means, and all of the treatment options available allows us to become a team – which is how I view our relationship. As a team, we make informed decisions together to come up with a treatment that is best for them.

Dr Gruber and nurses were awesome. I was very anxious but they explained everything and how it was going to happen. I would certainly recommend Dr. GRUBER.

I was not overly enthusiastic about the why but based on the what, I looked at a variety of reviews and chose Dr. Gruber. He performed a procedure on me this morning. He took all the time I wanted to explain and answer questions (and I had a lot of them), performed the surgery with great precision, and followed up appropriately. Things were and are exactly as he said they would be. Equally importantly, he is personable, jokes around a little bit, and is generally a very pleasant guy. In his office he feels more like a friend than a surgeon but performs flawlessly. If Google offered more than five stars that is how I would rate him. I have nothing but great things to say about the entire team. Thank you to Forefront Dermatology for your excellent work!

Dr Gruber is very personable and does an excellent job. I know where my scar is, but still have to look hard to find it even though it's smack dab in the middle of my nose.
One-stop shopping for Moh's Surgery and the cosmetic surgery to hide that scar. I hope I never have another bout with skin cancer. But if I do, I will definitely go back to Dr. Gruber.

Dr Gruber and his staff were wonderful! I was a bundle of nerves going into my surgery, but Dr Gruber made sure there was music I liked to listen to, and both he and his assistant kept my mind busy to ease my anxiety. Dr Gruber took his time and made sure I understood what was happening and why. I hope I never need his services again, but if I have another skin cancer, I will return!
UPDATE: Unfortunately, I did have another occurrence to need Dr Grubers services, and it was like a replay of the care and kindness from the last time. Dr. Gruber and his nurse and I sang together to the music that was playing while they were putting in the sutures! Talk about putting me at ease!
HIGHLY recommend this team!

Dr. Gruber and all the nurses at Forefront took great care of me during my procedure. They all made sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed to make the operation as pain free and as stress free as possible.
