I visited the E.R. for a cut on my forearm and Dr. Grannell personally contacted me after I did not see him for a follow up exam. He insisted I see him so he could diagnose my situation. I did not think I had serious damage but he showed me I had severed a tendon and could not move my hand normally. He performed surgery and Because I followed his instructions I still have complete function of my arm.

This is the worst example of a doctor that I have ever had to deal with. Do not go to him unless you like being treated worst than dirt.

From the moment he walked in he was EXTREMELY rude! He mocked me, discriminated against me and made assumptions about my personal life. He said there is no way I have pain and that my arm going numb and tingly was tissue problems. He disregarded what my medical team has diagnosed me with and said "that's why Im the surgeon". He never once gave me a recommended treatment plan, the entire appointment was ranting and put downs with no conclusion other than him storming out of the room. There is much more that I do not want to put. I will say that I DO NOT recommend him to anyone!!!!!! AND I DO NOT SAY THAT ON A LIGHT NOTE!

I had carpal tunnel surgery on my left hand and everything went as he explained it. The pain immediately after surgery and in the week to follow was never enough to ever have to take any medication - just as he promised. I will be having my right hand done in two weeks.

I had to get a second opinion, he told me my pain was psychological and not medical and he was very wrong. He is the roodest doctor I've ever dealth with and he makes quick decisions that are not accurate.
