I know at least 3 people who go to her. 1 loves her. 2 go to her because she's the only one available; 1 of them think there is a better dr in the same practice (but I forgot her name). I saw her once and I honestly couldn't stand her. She did the roughest papsmear on me ever. And I was disappointed that their nurse practitioner didn't know about the kind of procedure I had.
I saw another doctor in the same practice, Dr. Hsu, who no longer practices there. I saw Dr. Grouse once when Dr. Hsu was on vacation. She was alright, not incredible and not bad. I saw her NP once too, and she was great - very gentle when she performed the exam, very sweet and took lots of time to talk to me. I wouldn't highly recomend her, but I wouldn't say don't go to her either.
Sorry I couldn't be more help - for what it's worth, I don't think you have to be in love with your OB - what matters is that they do a good job and deliver a healthy baby! All the touchy-feely stuff is nice when you are pregnant and emotional, but in the end it doesn't really make a difference.
I saw her twice. My 1st experience was fair so I thought I'd give her another chance. I did and she wasn't very nice. I'd never see her again. She wasn't my style and was too abrasive for me.
I have a good friend that goes to her though & likes her. good luck!
Hello~. I am not Dr. Grouse's patient, but I go see Dr. Strachan who practices out of the same office. The staff is very friendly. I don't know about Dr. Grouse but Dr. Strachan is awesome. You should be in good hands - I always see pictures of Dr. Grouse's patients and babies and they look happy and healthy!
Re: Anyone see Dr. Grouse?
I think her office is in Irvine. ?Her name is Deborah Grouse if that helps. ?
