I went to Dr. Grogan for hip pain. Dr. Grogan got me an X-ray (which he said was "phenomenal") and an MRI of my hip. He proceeded to tell me I had a stress fracture in my ischial tuberosity (which is not the spot that was hurting) and to just rest. When I called to ask questions on 3 separate occasions I was told he was "busy" and I would "get a call back soon". I never got a call back, so I proceeded to take care of my hip as if it was fractured. This was back in April, and now (in August) I am still feeling hip pain. I went to get a second opinion with the SAME X-rays and MRIs that Dr. Grogan was provided back in April. I was told I never had a stress fracture and I actually have hip displasia and a torn labrum and actually need surgery. I am extremely frustrated and upset to have wasted so much time and money to be misdiagnosed and thrown to the side. I don't understand how someone could have an MD and still misreads an X-Ray and MRI. Do NOT go see Dr. Grogan or his facility if you don't want to waste your money. read more

Dr Grogan is simply amazing. He's been there for me and my family for a whole host of issues. Back issues, broken leg, kids, etc. You will not regret. read more

Very thorough Dr. Courteous, and great people that work at his office, as well very professional. Lauren was such a sweetheart. She helped me through my whole case. Very nice individual read more

I know, you're skeptical about 5 stars (I would be, too), but when all your answers and needs are met, it's the right review. Have seen Dr. Grogan once-a-year for the past 5 years (don't call me clumsy), but my wrist, foot and knee are all working! Plus he has provided support/brace items at either no or reduced charge. And one hour of validated parking. No offense to urgent care, but for an extraordinarily reasonably priced ortho expert, (knowing my tendencies) I will be coming back. read more

Went to visit Dr Grogan after my son broke his collar bone. A friend referred him to us and visited as follow-up to urgent care visit. Dr Grogan was professional, attentive, and helped easy our worry. He even helped fix and issue we had with x-rays sent by urgent care...we were given a blank disc at UC. Explained my son's injury would heal on its own and provided us with proper brace for support. Should be able to return to his training in less time than we expected. His summer was not ruined by injury. We appreciated the time and care Dr Grogan provided. His staff was attentive, friendly, and respectful. Highly recommend him to all who need care for sports injuries. Dr's like him are hard to find, gives people in sports fields hope. Thanks again! If we run into any athletes with issues, we would send them your way without hesitation. read more

The best doctor visit experience I've had all year. He listens. He cares. He clearly explained things to me. I saw him last year and meant to post this then! Worth posting now albeit late because what a refreshing experience it was to meet a doctor who is honest and takes the time to explain details with you no other doctor is willing to take the time to explain. In my case it all the difference and helped me make an important decision to have surgery I needed. Now on the other side of that surgery I feel like a new person. I have my life back. Thank you, Dr. Grogan. read more

I drove all the way from Glendale to take my 4-year-old son to see Dr. Grogan, based on the recommendation of a friend. Little man had broken both bones in his forearm. We had been told by our original doctor that if his x-ray didn't look "better" next time, we'd have to go in for surgery. I wasn't satisfied with this, so we went to Dr. Grogan. It was very obvious to me that he is extremely competent. He reassured me that my kiddo was going to be okay, and told me both our options and which he would choose if it were his kid. Besides getting very good news (NOT surgery), I was struck by his positive way of communicating. He told us how it would be all right, how even if something happened later it was no problem, we can go in and fix if needed, how he's healing - no "uh oh, if it's not better we need surgery". He has a different outlook and attitude than other docs I've seen and I really appreciated it. I cannot complete my review without mentioning his fantastic receptionist, Jenny. On her own origination, she went ahead and made our appointment for later in the day than originally planned, so I didn't have to rip my kid out of bed before 7am to make the drive. She is totally pleasant and helpful. I think Dr. Grogan is lucky to have her. Overall extremely pleased and would not go anywhere else. Thank you so much to Dr. Grogan and Jenny for taking care of my family. read more

Wonderful Doctor! We first needed Dr. Grogans expertise 3 years ago when my son broke his wrist. He was able to see us late in the afternoon (5:30 ish) xray ,cast and done in less than 45 min. It healed quickly and my son was back playing baseball the same season. Now, 3 1/2 years later my son injured his knee playing football. Looked up Dr. Grogan and he was able to see us within 2 hours of my call. My son could not put any weight on it. Hobbled in on crutches. Dr. Did a thorough exam helped him bend it, put a different kind of brace than the one from the ER, helped him up to stand and put weight on it, and my son was able to walk gingerly out. MCL tear. We look forward to a speedy and complete recovery. He is the best! Doesn't take insurance but is honest and very fair pricing. The office staff is very friendly and efficient. The office has moved, It is now at 11710 Wilshire Blvd. L.A. 90025 just west of 405 between Barrington and Stoner. Pacific Coast Sports Medicine read more

I was referred to Dr. Grogan because my usual specialist is on vacation. He doesn't take insurance but, after a fiasco with Urgent Care yesterday, I was more than willing to come out of pocket. He was able to see me same day and took great care of me. I have an injury from last year that is being aggravated by Accutane and he was very understanding and helpful. I plan to take the MRI and CT images from my injury to him once I finish the Accutane course and getting a second opinion from him on that. His staff was friendly, helpful, and attentive. I will gladly come out of pocket to see him again, despite the fact that I have insurance. read more

A Standout real doctor's office. Straight forward, caring and professional treatment by Dr. Grogan. We took our chance reading the great reviews about Dr. Grogan and brought our son with a fractured wrist that was taken care of elsewhere. Dr. Grogan was excellent; he communicated easily with my son, explained and answered our questions and refreshingly didn't try to inflate the services or bill for that matter. The rates are very reasonable and his the integrity is outstanding. We had to see the Dr. again for the other wrist, and weren't disappointed, the second visit only solidified our first impression. The staff by Lauren & Jenny is a huge plus: really friendly, efficient, available and well organized-the best staff I have encountered in any doctor's office. If you have gone to other Doctor's offices where the receptions alone make you cringe; from being permanently irritable to snooty to obnoxious, then this Dr. front office will make you restore your faith in the medical service industry. I guess good doctors have good support team! A side note: we visited the office on 11710 Wilshire Blvd. not the Santa Monica location, per above address listed on Yelp here. read more

The best doctor i have ever seen, qualities, smart, knowledgeable, and best of all respects your time and quick and efficient. I can't ask for better, if you have any bone problems that's that doctor you need to see honest you will not regret it!!!!! Love love Dr Thomas thank you so much for your great help, me and my husband go to him and now we are sending our kids read more

I am a practicing physician in the community and I have never met Dr. Grogan but he has cared for my 11 year old several times. On Saturday morning my son crushed his hand and it was severely bruised and disfigured and we were scared it was broken Dr Grogan graciously opened his office on Saturday afternoon to see my son. Within about 45 minutes he was seen and treated. Dr. Grogan's devotion, attentiveness and kindness is inspiring and deserves the highest accolades. read more

Dr. Grogan is fantastic, very down to earth and to the point. Everyone was friendly and very helpful. Very short, if any, wait time. He has seen it all before...He is very conservative and genuinely wants to help. Thank you! read more

Just went to see him after I dropped a large pot on my foot! The office staff was fast and efficient and Dr Grogan was friendly and explained my injury throughly! I whole heartedly recommend him. read more

The smartest orthopedic problem solver I have met I would recommend him very highly. I had a problem that 4 other orthopedists could not solve and he figured it out quickly. I had persistent hip pain; while others were quick to suggest hip surgery or local cortisone, he saw it was referred pain from my spine (stenosis) and has been providing pain relieving approaches that are working (and shockingly easy and inexpensive. In a world where orthopedists have limited skills in diagnosing a problem (or having you do the procedure they know), it is refreshing to find someone who has the knowledge and perspective to get the diagnosis right. And he is a great caring guy also! read more

Dr. Grogan and staff were efficient, friendly and large hearted. Thank goodness there are still doctors motivated first by healing their patients and not the almighty dollar! read more

Simply the best. My daughter is a competitive gymnast and I run marathons. Dr. Grogan keeps us both going with expert guidance and top notch care. read more

One of the best doctor experiences I have encountered. He is clearly an expert and his manner is quiet and understated, which is a breath of fresh air. He cares and listens and is genuinely interested in his patients. All three of my kids have gone to him and recently he's basically cured my tendinitis with one appointment. Just wish there more doctors like him in other areas of medicine. One of a kind. read more

Dr. Grogan was referred as the best orthopedic doctor for children by a good friend of ours who works in the orthopedic industry and has met/worked with most orthopedic doctors in the Los Angles area. Dr. Grogan was referred to us after our sons arm broke and was set by a different doctor who's work we were not pleased with. My son and i really like Dr Grogan and recommend him highly. Dr. Grogan explained procedures clearly and well, showed us the x-rays and explained what we were looking at and what was going on with the bones, healing and expectations. Overall a fantastic experience. The staff in his office are great too! read more

I LOVE Dr. Grogan!! The best, nicest, most intelligent of all my doctors. He always knows what he's doing- and you can get in and out of there very quickly. I can't recommend him highly enough!! read more

There is no better orthopedic surgeon that Thomas Grogan. My entire family have been his patients for over 20 years. Four children, myself, my wife, her parents - all, at some time or other have been under his care. He is extremely knowledgable and knows bones, tendons and ligaments better than any orthopod I have ever met - and I travel, have been injured, and have met a few. BUT most important of all, Thomas Grogan is a good man, a caring man, a thoughtful man and someone you can really trust when you or someone you love is really hurting. You won't go wrong trusting this man to take care of you when you break, sprain, or tear. He is simply the best. read more

Excellent! Dr. Grogan is one of a rare breed of physicians. He is knowledgable and efficient. He is a medical problem solver, always a helpful skill when injuries are involved. As a bonus, he is courteous, friendly, and willing to answer questions. My family members have been treated by this physician many times over the years, and the experiences have always been highly positive. He really deserves SIX STARS! Highly recommended! read more

Referred by ladies at my tennis club in Pacific Palisades, I now understand why Dr. Grogan is the first name that comes up for sports injury issues and/or orthopedic care. From the time I walked into the office, it was the best experience ever. You could feel the sincerity of the staff, front office, X-ray technician, etc (who all clearly loved their job), and Dr. Grogan was not only professional and prompt, but also took the time to explain the mechanics of the joints involved with my knee irritation. Five stars! read more

Dr. Grogan was personable, had a super staff, and got to the heart of my ankle issue quickly. After several recent visits to other physicians, I applaud his ability to LISTEN to his patients... an increasingly rare asset in today's medical profession. I highly recommend Dr. Grogran and his very caring staff! read more

We were referred to Dr. Grogan by a friend, and unfortunately assumed a personal referral was enough. He misdiagnosed our child's injury and compounded the problem by mistreating it too. We have been to 2 other doctors, both of whom were astonished at the diagnosis and subsequently the mistreatment. It's safe to say we won't be recommending Dr. Grogan to any of our friends (or enemies). read more

I was recently in need of medical care for my knee. I called another physician's office in the area, a Dr M and they were curt when I told them I didn't have insurance and said it would be $300 for a consultation. I bummed and looked online and found Dr Grogan. There were all kinds of nice comments about him so I called. His receptionist could not have been nicer. I explained my situation and they got me in immediately. It has been a long time since I've met a surgeon who is compassionate and not motivated by money and places the welfare of his patients first. I did meet that man in Dr Grogan. I am soooo thankful I went to see him. My knee is better and it didn't cost me an unborn child. If you are in need of an Orthopaedic Surgeon, you should call Dr Grogan. I'm just a normal guy off the street who has a bum knee so this is a for real post and if you have problems then I highly recommend giving him a call. He actually even picked up when I had questions the first time when calling. Unbelievable when some DR's at my old HMO couldn't even find my test results once. If you want the best please give him a try. I did thank goodnesss! read more

My daughter broke her wrist playing soccer over the week-end. We had been to Dr. Grogan before for our son, but also received recommendations within minutes of the injury from from several friends that we "had" to see Dr. Grogan. We paged him on Sunday, based on the chance that he might be available so my daughter would not need to miss school on Monday (she had already been splinted at the ER on Saturday). His wife answered the page, notifying us that Dr. Grogan was on his way back from Portland. He called us when he arrived back in LA, and saw us that same afternoon - Sunday afternoon - at his closed office, where he read the x-rays, answered all our questions, fitted our daughter with a flexible cast, and had us on our way within 20 minutes, telling us to take care of payment later. Dr. Grogan is true throw-back to the doctors of old: he works tirelessly for his patients, even on week-ends as needed. He is brilliant and personable. Everything one would hope for, but too rarely sees these days in a doctor. We could not have had a better experience. read more
