Dr. Gruenwald is a 1969 graduate of Duke University School of Medicine. He completed a surgery internship and year of general surgery residency in New York City, at State University of New York, Kings County Hospital. Following this was completion of a three-year residency in otolaryngology at Harvard University Medical School, in Boston. He finished formal medical training in 1978, completing a two-year plastic surgery residency with the University of Utah College of Medicine, in Salt Lake City. Dr. Gruenwald began his plastic surgery practice in 1978, when he helped establish "Associates in Plastic Surgery" in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He was one of the principal plastic surgeons for that group for 3 decades. For 25 years of that time, he also was affiliated with LSU as an associate professor in plastic surgery for the Division of Surgery, LSU School of Medicine. In early 2010, Dr. Gruenwald availed himself of the opportunity to devote full attention to the area of his professional …passion, the current and dynamic field of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. To make this possible, he relocated to a new contemporary office, specifically designed to accommodate his active aesthetic surgical practice. Dr. Gruenwald is now able to provide an enhanced personal and professional experience to those patients wishing to explore the many facets of contemporary aesthetic surgery. He is, of course, maintaining the same level of expertise and skill for which his distinguished professional reputation has grown and thrived in the Baton Rouge community. Dr. Gruenwald has been nominated to the list of Best Plastic Surgeons by his peers.

Dr Gruenwald was the only Surgeon I consulted with in 2000 and my consultation visit was very informative and made me feel so comfortable and the only problem was keloid in the lower abdominal area. Dr Gruenwald saw it and immediately corrected it. Now 19 years later and at 54 years old my body still looks FANTASTIC!!! Thanks to Dr G & his Staff..

Had a breast reduction with him and had terrible scarring and an poor stitches. Went back and nurse told me it was my body's fault. Dr. Gruenwald did redo the work and used a different suture material which yielded an ok result (not great). The big issue was his jagged stiching which resulted in jagged scars. Jackie, his nurse, was rude and had no bedside manner. I would not recommend going to him for any extensive work like a breast reduction.
