John Thomas Grissom

Dr. Grissom and his team are in the field to actually help people and it shows by the attentive care they provide.
They listen carefully and provide educated advice you can trust. That has become lost in the medical money grab, but you do not get that absurd treatment from this office.
My primary pain doctor of over a decade retired and I was absolutely terrified trying to find another doctor who actually listened and was willing to try alternative methods, whatever it takes to get relief, without being medicated numb and regain some kind of semblance of a life.
My first appointment was outstanding! The scheduling was quick and quite accommodating. There was minimal wait time and this is not an exaggeration whatsoever! They are thorough and professional yet provide a comfortable atmosphere where you feel confident in being able to share the intricacies of your unique situation. They listen. They are able to establish a plan with plenty of options to tailor to your needs and expectations.
I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Grissom and his team.
I feel confident instead of terrified now going forward. I have two forms of Leukemia, Idiopathic Chronic Pancreatitis, and a destroyed lower lumbar, which all require intricate methods for healing and just to keep me comfortable when and if possible. I know I’m in great hands and look forward to the potential.

Dr. Grissom took a great deal of time with me to figure out why I had such pain in my back, hip and leg. He relieved that pain many times with infusions that made life and normal movement bearable. After encouraging me to have an MRI, he discovered that I would need rather extensive surgery to permanently fix my pain problem. He continued with the infusions until I was able to schedule the surgery with an excellent neurosurgeon he suggested. I have nothing but respect for Dr. Grissom’s professionalism and medical expertise. His office workers and assistants were consistently upbeat, welcoming, and of the highest caliber. I would recommend Algone Clinic in general and Dr. Grissom in particular to any person with a pain issue.

After being with this clinic for over 4 years I have seen five different doctors. Eventually dr. Grissom decided to put a pain pump in me. After many trials we scheduled a surgical date at which time they put me under and brought me back two Consciousness telling me that their representative for the pain pump had not shown up. I asked them if they had known this before putting me under and they had told me yes but they thought that she would show up in the next 15 minutes. I asked them how late she was and she was supposed to be in at 8 in the morning and my appointment was at 1 p.m. . They decided to hold off the surgery due to me having a 10 x 7 inch hernia repaired that would have some recovery time. Directly after which doctor Grissom sent me three different letters terminating my contract with their pain management company. One said that I called too often which was impossible because I was still not able to use the phone at the hospital due to sedation. One letter was sent saying that I talked rudely to his team on a recording. I asked him if he could could hear that recording because I had known that I did not make any call like that and he hung up on me. The third letter stated that I had additional drugs in my system. At which point I asked him to see my clinical report and it clearly stated that the morphine in my system was from my hernia surgery. This doctor is self-involved and only worried about the promotion of his popularity through the medical field. He will step on any patient he can possibly gain influence from. I would not trust this doctor with my life or any of my children's lives. After talking to him one time you can realize he actually thinks he's in a TV medical show
