Overview

Philosophy of care | I strive to provide compassionate, quality, patient-centered care. I make sure to listen and fully understand each patient's needs and concerns regarding their condition and treatment, because doing so helps the patient establish and achieve treatment goals. I find great satisfaction in improving a patient's quality of life and getting them back (through effective disease management) to the activities they previously enjoyed. Rheumatic autoimmune conditions are often complex and chronic, so developing a long-term, trusting physician-patient relationship is paramount to treatment success. | Why I entered medicine | My interest in medicine was evident early in my life. My desire to become a physician peaked during my pharmacy education and continued as a practicing pharmacist; I realized I wanted to play a larger role in the overall care of patients. During my medical training, I became intrigued by the nature and complexities of various autoimmune rheumatic conditions. I decided to become a rheumatologist to help patients better understand and optimally manage their disease and live their best possible lives. | Personal interests | I enjoy cooking, traveling, sports and spending time with my family and friends.

Philosophy of care | My goal is to provide the highest level of professional care in a compassionate manner. To spend time with each patient listening closely to their concerns, providing explanation on often complex medical conditions, making treatment decisions together, and building long term relationships. | Why I entered medicine | Rheumatology captured my interest as an Internal Medicine resident. The ability to diagnose and treat often challenging autoimmune conditions, as well as additionally being able to treat other non-inflammatory musculoskeletal processes, continues to make my days interesting and enjoyable. | Community involvement | I have enjoyed my years being very active in youth sports programs. Particularly my coaching and administrative positions with youth basketball and baseball leagues. Now I enjoy watching those athletes I coached and my own children from the stands at high school sporting events. | Personal interests | I enjoy spending time with family and friends, such as taking trips with family and attending sporting events – especially at colleges our children attend. I enjoy running for exercise. Dr. Grady is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Giant Cell Arteritis (GCA).
