    Nov 22, 2022
    If I could give Dr. Grandis a 10, I would. Knowledgeable (of course) caring, not alarming but candid, spent as much time with me as I needed. Very clear on diagnosis and prognosis and next steps. I am not happy to have a heart condition, but I am so grateful that Dr. Grandis is my cardiologist.
    Nov 22, 2022
    Dr G is awesome & always attentive to whole patient. I've been seeing cardiologists for decades & he is the best I've ever seen?
    Nov 03, 2022
    This was my first meeting with Dr. Grandis. He had a very kind manner, showed interest in my trip to the ED two days earlier even though it did not involve cardiology. Based on my pain symptoms, he suggested an MRI (which is what I had hoped the ED trip would involve but didn't). He was very impressive treating me as a whole person. He addressed my cardiac concerns accordingly.
    Nov 03, 2022
    Great doctor! Perfect compliment to our respective personalities. Reads me like a book.
