Three years ago, my wife and I moved from New York City to Rancho Mirage, CA. Since we are seniors, quality medical care was a priority. After some searching, we found Dr Grimm. In the years that followed, we received the best medical and health care of our lives. He and his practice are outstanding. He is thorough, professional, up-to-date, and cares about us.

Signing up with Dr Grimm MDVIP was the best health care decision I made as a new arrival to the US and with no experience of the healthcare system. Dr Grimm takes a holistic view of your health profile. I was networked into the relevant specialists and am on a treatment protocol that should address the issues I have.
It’s barely two months and the experience thus far is positive both with Dr Grimm and his excellent responsive team at the clinic.

I love Dr Grimm so much, it's hard to articulate just how much. He is one of the few physicians I have ever met who knows his stuff, is funny when I need a laugh, and serious when he needs me to know he means business. He listens to my needs and always finds a solution to my problems. I have never one left his office thinking. "Well, that sucked," whereas every other doctor I can think of has left me feeling that way at one time or another. He better never retire until AFTER I die, that's all I can say! Dr. Grimm, you rock.

Dr. William Grimm was sued for disclosure of confidential medical records.
The case below is not my case. I post it to expose Dr GRIMMS patterns of this violation. Below the lawsuit info, I explain how DR. WILLIAM GRIMM illegally violated my privacy rights even more directly.
CASE # PSC 15036434 RIVERSIDE SUPERIOR COURT CASE
MICHAEL R. SOLOMON Vs. DESERT HEALTHCARE DISTRICT ) et. al.,
Defendant Kay Hazen, along with Mark Mathews, Glenn Grayman, M.D., and WILLIAM GRIMM, M.D., and other members of the Desert Healthcare staff, and attorneys Best, Best, and Krieger and disclosed the confidential medical information of SOLOMON she obtained WITHOUT SOLOMON's authorization or consent from SOLOMON's personal physician (Dr.Sidiqui), Defendant Desert Healthcare District staff, Tenet Healthcare and the Desert Regional Medical Center (C.T. Case Number: 065066, 92:19 - 95:19; 99:10 - 103:21).
Dr. William Grimm clearly has no regard for the oath he took. He thinks he is above the laws of protecting patients medical records. Dr. William Grimm violates HIPPA privacy laws. In my situation Dr. GRIMM allowed his X-LOVER, Dr. Charles Sophy (who does not work at DR. GRIMM'S private practice) to access/snoop my private medical files. I barely knew Dr. Sophy. Dr. Sophy was not my doctor. I never gave him permission to access my medical records. Nor, did I ever give Dr. GRIMM permission to allow anyone to access my private medical records.
I have tried to get DR. GRIMM to return my calls so he can explain to me how and why he allowed such an illegal violation to occur. DR GRIMM has not even had decency to return my many calls. GRIMM is highly unethical.
So, now I must file a lawsuit against Dr. Grimm. A complaint with the medical board
Beware of this "doctor."

Dr.Grimm has been our Primary Care physician since the early '90s, and it's hard to put into words just how much we value the care he has given us over the years. He's knowledgeable, compassionate, and truly listens. His integrity, kindness, and dedication set him apart. We feel incredibly fortunate to be in his care and recommend him wholeheartedly.

My 88 year old mother moved out here from St. Louis six months ago and our biggest concern was how to find an awesome doctor who cared for her, and Dr. Grimm has surpassed all our hopes and expectations! She says, "He is so darling, I'd love to adopt him!" Honestly, he is very thorough, caring, kind, understanding, funny and a really fabulous listener. Thank you so much for being our Doctor, Dr. Grimm!

Going to a new doctor , especially when you move to a new state is really difficult. Even more so when you are prone to certain conditions. From my past experience Its terribly intrusive and just uncomfortable. Well, not this time. Dr.G is great. As a doctor , he is professional, knows his field and is courteous to your time, not his, which is quite a change. Also, he's just really cool. When you speak to him he listens and responds to you rather than at you. I must also mention here that his staff, everyone, nurses, front desk, the whole team are just a bunch of good people. They smile and refer to you by your name! Always go above and beyond. If i could give more stars I would.

One of the most caring physicians in the Desert. Most complete physical I have ever received and when I left I knew I was in great health.. His office staff is kind, caring and goes the extra mile to assist you. Going to see Dr,. Grimm is going back in time, you have an opportunity to ask questions, get the answers, have a friendship and at the same time great healthcare. Unfortunately he is concierge and not everyone can enjoy him as their physician, but if you can, it is well worth your investment.

Dr. Grimm is the best....personality and medical knowledge, he is always for the patient's best interest, health wise. . plus he is pretty funny!!! Very comfortable in his office, his staff is an asset in his practice, espec when they offer me an expresso, so who turns down an expresso?
And what doctor calls his patients at 7 pm to go over patient recent test results, Dr. Grimm does😁😁😁

Frequently Asked Questions
Doctors who operate in the MDVIP models typically see far fewer patients than traditional primary care doctors. That gives them more time to develop deeper doctor-patient relationships that can lead to better outcomes. They can also offer conveniences that most primary care doctors can’t, including same- and next-day appointments. They’re available after hours for urgent matters. And they have time to focus on prevention. That focus begins with the MDVIP Wellness Program, which patients pay for with their annual membership fee.
Most MDVIP-affiliated primary care practices accept insurance (your physician can tell you whether they accept your specific insurance plan). Your annual fee pays for preventive care medical services that insurance usually doesn’t cover (e.g., advanced diagnostic testing and screenings). Your MDVIP-affiliated physician will continue to bill your insurance and charge copays, co-insurances and deductibles as he or she currently does for other medical services like sick visits.
MDVIP makes wellness and prevention easier by providing your physician with innovative tools and technology. MDVIP supports your physician’s practice and seeks to eliminate barriers to a positive healthcare experience. Your doctor will determine whether and how to incorporate these tools at his/her discretion.
