Mark Grubb, MD

Amazing experience. We were referred to Dr. Grubb by our midwife, Dr. Marie Wakefield. We are a very holistic based family, and Dr. Grubb is beyond anything we would have ever imagined in regards to not only respecting our holistic views, but supporting them. He’s one of the few physicians around who isn’t all about the over prescribing of pharmaceuticals — especially antibiotics. He is a very nutrition-​based physician, and encourages parents to become self sufficient in terms on the health of their children.
I would suggest Dr. Grubb to anyone who shares these philosophies on life.

Dr. Grubb has been the best dr I could find after going through many doctors with my first born who either A. Take a cookie cutter approach to medicine (a pill for everything and anything) or B. Don’t seem to be truly concerned of about my child’s overall health and look at symptoms alone. Dr. Grubb takes the time to look at all aspects of health from diet to home life (which I see some others think that home life is not a part of health) to help not just heal but grow and flourish. I have never had any issues with him (he is polite and gentle) or his office which is a great place for traditional family medicine.

Is it too much to ask for a doctor to listen our concerns and not treat us like we have no idea what we are talking about? .as the other reviewer described it– dismissive. We explained the symptoms or our baby and believed it required a different solution (after much of our own research) then the one he suggested but went along with him at the time. He thought his solution would fix the problem for sure. The procedure literally took less than 3 minutes, and we were charged $ 400. For the record, I dont know if that was the office (woodcreek) charge or the doctor’s.
After waiting a month and giving it time, the symptom has not changed at all.
Will not recommend or return.

My family absolutely loves Dr. Grubb!
He came highly recommended by multiple friends and family members (some of my GROWN friends still see him, ha!) and we could not be happier with our decision. He is kind and patient (explaining things to me, the worried mother, as we go), he is great with my son, and he has a wonderful sense of humor.
During our last appointment — the dreaded circumcision for my infant son — he explained what he was doing and made me laugh when I was worried I was going to cry. He gave me all the stuff that I was going to need for my baby over the upcoming weeks — beyond the circumcision — and took the time to explain to me the hows/​whys as he loaded us up with all the newborn supplies. I love healthcare providers that take the time to educate you, rather than just rambling off instructions like a script.
On our last visit, he quickly wrote down his phone number for us so that we can call with any questions; he reminded us that some things are best addressed quickly by the phone, so we don’t need to spend money and pack up the family for an appointment every single time we have a concern. If he can help us right then and there by phone — he’s happy to do it. I really loved that. It just showed us how much he loves what he does, and genuinely cares about the kids that he looks after. The office staff is amazing, too.
I feel so blessed that we were guided to Dr. Grubb! We won’t be going anywhere else, and I am quick to recommend my friends with kids to him, too.

I am shocked by the 1 Star reviews listed below — that is the furthest from my experience. Dr. Grubb was my pediatrician and he was the FIRST one I thought of using when I found out I was pregnant with my daughter. The entire staff at Woodcreek is second to none!
Dr. Grubb takes a very national approach to treatment and doesn’t just prescribe unnecessary medicine each time your child has the sniffles. He is patient, kind and extremely caring. My daughter loves going there. I cannot imagine using another pediatrician and recommend him to anyone of my friends that are expecting.
We have had a relationship with Dr Grubb and Woodcreek for over two decades and wouldn’t ever consider using a different doctor!

This physician is a little weird. He doesn’t give medicine to children and asked a lot of questions about our family status. I just wasn’t comfortable there.
After reading other person’s review, I will be changing doctors before my son’s next visit. I won’t support someone who treated (let alone threatened) a family that way. It’s unacceptable and he shouldn’t be allowed to practice.

I don’t know about Dr. Grubb — but my recent experience with the Woodcreek Clinic was not a good one. I went in on a Sunday afternoon, No MD’s were available instead I saw a medical assistant (I would stress the ass part of the word in assistant here) as the assistant I saw was indeed an incompetent ass. I would have gotten better advice from a stranger on a public bus! I left with no help at all and his so called diagnosis was so far from left field that it was laughable! I got my money back and left. I will not be back again and I would not recommend this clinic to anyone. Note: if you go to them make sure that you see an actual MD; I mean that is what you’re paying for. I would have been better of going to the hospital emergency room for help. My review of this clinic: No Real Help Offered so keep on driving!

Dr. Grubb has been practicing pediatric care in Puyallup for a long time. I know, because my brothers and I (4 of us) all were his patients growing up (toddler into adolescence).
As a child, I remembered the Woodcreek Pediatrics office fondly. I recollect both Dr. Grubb and Dr. Reitzig being friendly, not at all intimidating (as a child), and patient.
Recently, my wife and I had our first child at Good Sam hospital in Puyallup. As chance had it, Dr. Grubb was the on call pediatrician and did our pre-​release inspection.
He took plenty of time to check our child, explaining what he saw, noting any concerns (even minor ones), and detailing what we should watch for if they continued.
When he was done, he took some time to address some of our questions– we were curious about his positions on antibiotics, immunizations, and vaccines. Dr. Grubb answered each question very thoroughly.
He offered background info from clinical trials, recent studies and research, as well as his personal experiences. After he left I researched him and found out he’s well accredited and has patented some medical devices towards the treatment of ear infections. Needless to say, he will be our child’s physician.

Mark Grubb was my sons pediatrician. When Dr. Grubb found out that my son had two dads, everything change. Here is my story. On our last visit, my son with ADHD was having a bad day. He was having a hard time focusing on the visit. Dr. Grubb didn’t like the way he was acting and quickly grabbed my son by the neck and applied so much pressure that it made my son cry and jump off the table and hide in the corner of the room. I was shocked by the doctors actions and called the police, he told the police that we were unfit parents and he was going to call CPS on us. The police did not arrest him, but turned over the case to the attorney generals office. Dr. Grubb never called CPS because he had no good reason to. We got our sons records and a new pediatrician. This doctor has his own agenda, be careful.
