What type of medicine does the provider practice?
Top surgeon. Pediatric plastic surgeon.
Would you recommend this provider to others?
I’d absolutely recommend her to transmasculine people who are eligible for keyhole top surgery. She and her staff are very nice. Her scheduler even took care of getting insurance to preapprove and pay for my surgery! I saw Dr. Grunwaldt once before my surgery and she spent time answering my many questions and showed me results photos. Everyone at the hospital the day of my surgery was respectful to both my partner and I. My scarring isn’t visible, the contour of my chest is good, and everything healed smoothly. Because she’s local, I’ve been able to have multiple follow up appointments, which most folks who have top surgery can’t do because they need to travel for it. I’m in my mid thirties and was able to go to her, so don’t be discouraged that she operates out of Children’s and is generally pediatric.
