Horacio P Groisman, MD, FAAO

Not even worth one star, still getting over the bad experience.
ARROGANT, Hot/​Cold.
Acts very friendly when he comes in, then just as quickly becomes agitated especially if you ask questions. Bad Mannered, No Empathy. Dry.
HORRIBLE with Seniors, and Middle Aged. Talks down to them. Wont let the caretaker speak on their behalf. The senior I speak of is MY MOTHER. Over 87 years old, and he coldly looks at me and says «why do you speak for her» …well because I remember what you told us the last time I brought her…
…I can speak on her behalf ask her and she will tell you i can. I love my mother.
…because your entrance comment to her was inappropriate.
My mother has ringing in her ears… doctor says we will have to amputate her ears.
Funny? No Empathy.
Gave the doctor 3 chances incase it was a bad day for him. Apparently, he ALWAYS has a bad day. Unless you agree with him. Even if you bring up another solution he mentioned in the previous appointment. Forget it, he walks out on you. «HE has spoken.»
Not worth his experience. FIND A DOCTOR who can communicate with you as person. Who is not arrogant, in addition to being robotic and all mentioned above.
Staff is really nice. But even they notice he is self absorbed, and unprofessional.
AVOID, AVOID.

Unfortunately, my experience with this office wasn’t as stellar as the review before mine. I left with questions and frustrations… and a determination to not return.
So, I’m allergic to Miami. Since moving to the 305, my sinuses have decided to go into overdrive. Sometimes this means stuffy nose. Other times this translates into a sore throat, rapidfire sneezing and spitting up stuff that would make Linda Blair get the vapors. No es bueno. During my eight years in Chicago, I had great luck with medical care going to the local university. Northwestern, you’re alright by me. So, with that experience, I looked for care from the local university system. Perhaps I need to spread my wings.
Apropos of nothing, the building has seen better days. Call me shallow but when I head to the doctor, I like to see glistening glass, cold steel and modern invention. It makes me feel as though I am in the arms of state-​of-​the-​art technology. These building… is old. As in, it smells old. The paint is cracked. The elevators have those giant buttons you might remember (or have seen) from the 1970s. The shell doesn’t inspire much hope… and neither does the reception area. I went to this office a few times. My shortest wait time was 23 minutes AFTER my appointment time. That’s unforgivable. If my time doesn’t matter to you, why should yours (or anything else), matter to me?
This is how we start things.
Given the length of which I’d been suffering from my ailments and the weird onset of symptoms, I was concerned that I might have a couple of different (big) problems. I wanted to rule them out. I’d been in pain (my throat and neck) for over three months and I was a wee bit freaked out about it. I did my research, brought a diary of my symptoms and tried to be as thorough as possible to aid in my diagnosis. I was given an allergy test. You know, the kind where you’re pricked and you blow up like a doll only to find out that you’re allergic to dust, pollen and pet dander. That one. Wonder of wonders, for the low low price of weekly shots for a year+, I might be cured.
Yay… but no. A.) I know I have allergies. B.) I’ve had them since I was a kid. C.) I can tell the difference between allergies, post-​nasal drip and a throbbing pain in my neck that I’ve had for months. Not satisfied with getting allergy shots (something I didn’t even need while being a child in the allergy ragweed bowl that is Louisville, KY), I finally persuaded the physician to look in my nose and throat. Seems reasonable while at a ENT, no? The numbing agent his assistant used wasn’t very effective, however, and the long scope that went in my nose and down my throat? I felt every inch of it for the entirety of the procedure. Pain. Discomfort. Slight panic. Seeming disregard for all the above? All checked. The result of this test? I have acid reflux AND allergies. I left with a raw throat, hurt nose and a ‘prescription’ for Prevacid.*
Defeated and in pain, I continued on my allergy and reflux meds until a doctor friend of mine asked me what I was doing all that for. A run down of my history and symptoms and he opined that I was suffering from something related but not entirely what i was diagnosed with. After getting the second opinion (and confirmation of his diagnosis), I was given a different treatment that’s enabled me to happily stay amongst the land of the living in the Magic City. Doctors aren’t magicians. Some times they get it wrong. I understand. But, in addition to being picked, prodded and ignored in the waiting room, I didn’t feel listened to. No one knows your body like you do and rather than playing a guessing game, I think, it makes the most sense to have a dialogue with your physician so as to rightfully determine what’s wrong and how to fix it. I’m a fairly smart guy. I can articulate my thoughts and what I’m feeling with some skill. I’ve used these skills with great success in other medical environs. Unfortunately, for me, things didn’t work out so well this go ’round.
*Thank God for good medical insurance. Between those three visits, i would be in serious trouble without it.

I’m happy to contribute this review as it’s my first of a more serious nature and hopefully helpful to folks.
Nothing worse than a combo toothache/​earache/​headache and add a dash of nausea. Oye. I couldn’t quite distinguish WHAT or WHERE the pain was coming from-​one of those spots, but it’s been KILLING me. I figured I’d begin with an ENT and then a dentist.
One really hard thing about being a new transplant is leaving a world where I’d known my dental and medical practitioners for years.
So, I did a bit of research and after checking that this group takes my insurance, gave it a shot.
Dr. Groisman is located in the U. of M. outpatient bldg (I guess the neighborhood is referred to as «downtown Miami») which is conveniently close to the parking garage. The actual bldg is super dated and kind of cruddy-don’t let it deter you.
The receptionist greeted me immediately and gave me the necessary new patient paperwork. I was called back to the exam room no more than 15 min later where the technician/​assistant administered an exam to gauge ear pressure. The doc came in about 5 minutes later. He was friendly and funny.
He was extremely thorough and explained what his thoughts were and several courses of action we could take and what he thought would be best. He was receptive to my input and very clearly outlined our plan of action. The office staff were all professional, friendly and on point.
I left very pleased and feeling like he was a good choice. I’m hoping that any follow up will go as smoothly and again, feel good about letting him treat me.
