What David's patients have to say:
Janet C.
Patient
Green Bay, WI
Dr. Groteluschen is my go to doctor because he knows me well (12 years cancer free). He covers all the bases checking to see if I remain cancer free. Heads me in the right direction for aches and pains that I have as an eighty-two year old!
Rachel J.
Patient
Sheboygan, WI
I had my newborn with me. They explained where I could walk her if I needed to help calm her. Also was able to turn the lights down in the room and Dr. Groteluschen was okay leaving them that way while we talked!
Kathleen M.

I have confidence in Dr. Groteluschen. He tells me the truth and listens to me.
Gloria V.
Patient

I was being put on immune therapy and my husband and boys were all there for the discussion. Dr. Groteluschen answered all their questions and we were not rushed! Left feeling less nervous about the therapy.
