Dr. Thomas Edwards Grande, MD

I saw Dr. Grande a few weeks ago for the first time and I have to say it was the most bizarre experience I have had in a medical setting. To begin, I had to wait 30-40 minutes in the waiting room to even be called back. Once Dr. Grande finally made it to my room, he asked how I had been and commented it was great to see me again. I had never met him before so it was a red flag that he acted like he knew me. We continued the visit and when I asked him to go over contraceptive options with me, he asked me to confirm I was trying to get pregnant. As an unmarried, 24 year old you can imagine my shock. I'm not sure if he read the wrong file before our visit or what but I felt like he had no idea who I was or what my reproductive goals were. Towards the end of our visit, he finally went through each of the contraceptive options with me and gave me a lot of information to think about. The whole visit felt "off" enough to where I scheduled a new annual exam at a completely different clinic to… confirm his conclusions. As it turns out, he gave me COMPLETELY OUTDATED information in regards to IUDs and risks associated with the different contraceptive options. I have lost my trust in Metro OBGYN and do not feel comfortable scheduling another appointment there.

I've been seeing Dr. Grande for many years and I would never see another OBGYN again. He was not only extremely knowledgable, but also took the time to explain everything to me and answer all my questions even though he was running behind. He does tend to run behind a bit, but that's sort of the nature of the business being that he gets called out to deliver babies (Hello, OB clinic here). He is great about seeing me last minute when I have an issue, sometimes even staying later than his clinic hours just to see me. He is an amazing surgeon as well. I would recommend him to anyone who wants to see a knowledgeable doctor who actually knows his stuff and goes above and beyond to make sure I have the best care.

I have had my share of experiences with doctors, but my time with Dr Grande was one of the worst. I started seeing him during my 2nd pregnancy. We didn't know we were pregnant until the second trimester. He was rude, always late and wouldn't stop to answer questions. The pregnancy was complicated by the placenta being in the wrong place. When he did his exams, he would always pinch parts of my privates with the speculum. It got to the point that I would be fearful of just seeing him

I was referred to Dr. Grand from my primary doctor and have nothing but positive things to say. Yes, he does occasionally run behind, but that is because he loves his work so much he always wants to help with any emergency situation, and when you are seeing him he takes his time to answer any and all of your questions. He saved my life! He diagnosed me with Endometrial Cancer and performed every procedure to without any complications. Here I am eight years later and would highly recommend him to everyone. If you are concerned about waiting to see him just know if he is behind its because he is taking the time to address his patients needs. I would recommend an early morning appointment. He was always available to me and followed through with my care at each hospital. Thank you Dr. Grand.

Dr Grande delivered my 2 baby boys in 1980 & 81 . At the time I was with Dr Westfall, he retired in my 6th month of pregnancy,1980, so on board came Dr Grande , I was a little nervous with a new graduate, but after a few visits, I had so much trust in him. I loved him, he gave me the best obstetrics care ever, especially how young I was in 1980 & 81 . I couldn't of asked for a better Dr !, I even got the chance to try out the birthing chair,,he told me ,it would be great to do, I loved it on my 3rd birth of my son. I left Mn.in 1982, & had to find a new OBGYN, but Dr Grande was the best!! Thank you ... :) this review was based on when I was being treated by Dr Grande for my deliveries. ...

Dr. Grande saved my life. I will forever be grateful to him.

I waited for almost an hour to see Dr. Grande for a gyno appointment. After the nurse saw me for two minutes, she told me to undress and get on the table. 20 minutes later, after chatting outside my room about patients' personal health information (um, HIPAA violation much?), Dr. Grande came in to see me. My appointment was about five minutes. Dr. Grande was condescending and had absolutely no bedside manner. I will NEVER return to this doctor.

Cared about me as a patient and my babies. Very responsive, responded after hours to my requests even when he was not the on call doctor. He is very popular and due to the business he is in, he leaves for deliveries and emergency procedures therefore, he is frequently late.

rude, indifferent, extremely late.

Was referred to Dr Grande by another provider for an urgent health issue. It was a struggle to get an appointment even with a referral. He was an hour late for our initial consultation, never acknowledged it, and rushed us as a result. His communication skills are nonexistent --- I didnt see or hear from him or anyone from his office following surgery. I will credit his technical ability as I suffered no injury or complications following the procedure. I could not have been made to feel more anonymous or unimportant. I have since switched providers for the remainder of my follow up care. Avoid.
