Dr. Grubb was my doctor as a child and now he is my sons who has been going to him wince he was born and now is 17 months. He is soothing and always calms him down when he's upset. He performed his circumcision and my son didn't even cry! He has been completely supportive of me when I'm being an over reacting first time mom who thinks everything means her baby is dying...I'm so thankful he is who I've chosen to help make sure my son is healthy! I recommend and rave about him to everyone!! read more

Provided little to no service. Woodcreek used to be our go to. Now its our run-away from as fast as you can

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Dr. Grubb is amazing! Very wise and absolutely loves babies. We recently moved to the Puyallup area and had been looking for a pediatrician. I did a lot of research trying to find one and am so happy we were able to get in with Dr. Grubb! If you're looking for a doctor who won't fill your littles up with medicine or push vaccines on you, I definitely recommend this doctor! He has a very simple way of treating kiddos and supports naturopathic views. We feel like he's an answered prayer to care for our son! read more

Defiantly not a fan, he made me feel like a crappy mom for giving my 3 year old children's Tylenol. My son had a 104 fever for 2 days, he was lethargic and I didn't really know what to do, so I took him to the "urgent care" at woodcreek. We saw Dr.grubb, he happened to be the doctor working that day for walk ins.... he asked me what I had been doing to break his fever these last few days, and I told him I'd been setting my alarm and giving him children's Tylenol every 4-6 hours like it says in the bottle (and every other flipping doctor I had seen in the past) he then laughed and shook his head, told me that he allows his patients to pick 1 day a year to give their kids Tylenol, he said I've used my day and my kid doesn't need it again. He literally told me if I called him in the middle of the night and said my son had a 105 fever, that he would laugh and tell me his body is just fighting an infection and to go back to bed... okay maybe it is, but the Tylenol helps him stay comfortable, Also- that's not something you say to a parent with a kid that hasn't eaten or laughed or smiled in 2 days.... this guy made me feel terrible as a mom and he also made me really upset because of his lack of compassion. We went to the doctor to be sure he was okay, not to get laughed at for being concerned for his well being. read more

Dr. Grubb is great! They seem to be short staffed up front with checking people in but that's not too much of an issue. I've never waited too long in the exam room. He is very thorough in explaining everything and answering questions. He even gave us his cell number after my son's circumcision in case anything seemed wrong. read more

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. read more

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. read more

I want to start by saying that I have worked in healthcare for over ten years. I am an extremely educated healthcare consumer and I have literally worked with some of the best cardiac electrophysiologists in the world. I expected to be treated with some level of respect when I came to see Dr. Mark Grubb at Woodcreek Pediatrics. Particularly where I had traveled a good distance from a remote island in Alaska because I am a concerned mother wanting to seek adequate healthcare for my child. I explained my situation with the healthcare available to me and that I wanted to see a doctor who sees a higher volume of children and someone I had a higher confidence would know what he or she was doing. Dr. Grubb was dismissive of my concerns regarding what I consider to be a large and growing lump on my daughter's neck. He did not listen to my concerns about our family history of cancers affecting the head and neck region, he did not allow me an adequate opportunity to explain the circumstances or health history related to the development of the lump, nor did he allow me the opportunity to ask questions. Instead, what came across to me was an over confident physician bragging about all the other cases of cancer or rare abnormalities that he has caught and the fact that because he has seen/caught those cases during his career means that the chances of my daughter having cancer are zero to none. I took several advanced statistics courses in my nine years of bachelor's and graduate level courses. Past performance has absolutely nothing to do with future probability. I don't care how many cases of x, y or z you may or may not have seen, diagnosed or treated. I care about my daughter and the very real chance that the lump that had been steadily growing (and has continued to grow since our visit) is something other than a benign lymph node. I needed a good doctor who could both assure me that my concerns were valid and help me to know how to handle the fear that wells up inside of me at the thought of losing my daughter to cancer because an over confident doc decided that it was a lymph node instead of actually listening to me and talking me through it in a professional, respectful manner. Ultimately, I am hopeful that Dr. Grubb is correct and that this lump is just a lymph node presenting closer to the surface of my daughter's neck because she is thinner than average. But I am extremely disappointed in the care that was provided in this case. read more

Dr. Grubb is incedible! I recommend him to everyone I know looking for great pediatrician. When my daughter got croup cough, he gave us his cell phone number so that we could reach him if we had any more concerns that night, so we could potentially avoid forking over more money for late night ER visits if it was something that could just be explained over the phone. I also LOVE the fact that he doesn't just prescribe unecessary medicine every time my child gets the sniffles or a tiny fever. When she was much younger and was having trouble gaining weight, he ALSO met with a couple different doctors to speak about my daughter's case. He goes ABOVE AND BEYOND what a lot of doctors would do and genuinely cares about each of his patients and takes the time to get to know their families. He is never rushed and takes his time to explain in detail what is going on. He's amazing. He came highly recommended by a couple of my friends back when I had my daughter and it is now clear to me why that is. Top notch patient care with this doctor. read more
