“After Years of Debating Breast Augmentation, I Finally Did It! - Seattle, WA”
"Dr. G was such a pleasure to work with. My results are fabulous. I truly believe he is one of the best cosmetic surgeons in our area. I was impressed from start to finish with him. He took the time to email, call and was always available for questions. I can't say enough as to how pleased I am with Dr. G and the experience I had with him and his office. And my results exceeded my expectations."

Mommy Makeover
"Dr. G's work speaks for itself. He did both a tummy tuck and breast reduction for me and the results are some of the best I've seen (and I've done a lot of comparisons with other women who've had similar surgeries). He took the time to explain everything to me - including setting realistic expectations as to results. I feel so blessed that I selected Dr. G as my plastic surgeon. He gave me back the body that two pregnancies took away. Actually, I look BETTER than I did before having kids. I couldn't be happier!!!!"

“Perfect Breasts - Seattle, WA”
Breast Implants
"I researched several surgeons and interviewed my friends who already had breast implants before making the big decision. I knew I wanted the surgery but was understandably nervous. A friend used Dr. G for her implants; I thought they looked great..better than others I had seen; very natural not plastic. Dr. G made sure I was informed and knweledgeable about the procedure and what to expect all the way. Additonally he worked with me on what I wanted my breasts to look like, what I thought a pretty breast was shaped like, he took the time with me and did not just assume. Long story short my breasts are amazingly beautiful and look so natural!! I have not had one regret. I highly recommend Dr G, he is thorough, diligent and precise; the results for me?... my breasts are perfect! His staff is just as awesome."

"Dr G was very caring and spent time explaining what to expect. His office staff are all helpful. Most importantly though are the really beautiful results I'm enjoying due to his working on me.
Healing was uneventful and I was off work for less then a week. I wasn't able to lift weights or do push ups for several weeks or jog for about 6 weeks.
I had full sensation back within a few months."

My experience and post-operative results all mirrored their high pre-operative praise for Dr. G."

"Very professional and personable. I had many questions because this was my first time going through a major surgery and my first experience with breast implants. He answered all of my questions thoroughly with very direct and detailed responses that reassured me if his knowledge and experience with the breast augmentation procedures. I started out nervous about going through with the surgery and after meetings with Dr. G I felt comfortable with understanding the process and excited to move forward with my decision. The entire staff was always friendly, helpful and quickly available. The surgery turned out wonderful! I've had so many compliments from woman on my implants and asking of who I went to because they turned out so natural. Dr. G is not only a plastic surgeon, but to me he is also an artist with a vision for making a woman's body more beautiful."

His staff, professionalism, certifications, knowledge and client testimonials/photos on top of him answering all of my questions (I had never had any type of surgery so I had a gazillion of them) all exceeded my expectations."

“So Very Very Happy :) - Seattle, WA”
"Dr. G was recommended to me by a friend. After checking out his credentials and photos on the website, I decided with a free consultation, why not meet with him? He spent about 45 minutes with me, explaining everything in detail in "layman's terms." It sounds crazy, but I booked my surgery immediately following the consult. When you find *the one* you just know.
Now, a few months post-op, I'm beyond thrilled with my results. Aesthetics aside, I love that at all my appointments, I never feel rushed, and he fully answers any questions or concerns I have. But it's not just a one man show, his office staff has been helpful and absolute sweethearts. At the on-site surgery center, everyone I dealt with, from the anesthesiologist to the nurse in recovery, was professional, kind, and most importantly, eased my nerves!
Finally building up the courage to go through with surgery was a hard decision, but I'm so glad I found Dr. G and his skilled hands! I can't say enough good things about my experience."

“Best Doctor for Any Cosmetic Procedure! - Seattle, WA”
"I would highly recommend Dr. G for any plastic surgery procedure. I had my first procedure in 1989 and had my last in 2009. He and his staff are very professional and treat their patients as if they were their only patient. I have actually worked at other surgeons offices over the years but would only go to Dr. G for my own procedures. Many people get confused when a doctor is a Cosmetic surgeon vs. Board Certified Plastic surgeon. Don't be fooled. Board Certified is what Dr. G is which is a world of difference in a doctor's education. The prices may be a little higher but the work is immaculate and they take great care of each patient."

“Do Your Research! - Seattle, WA”
Breast Augmentation
"I had breast augmentation surgery done by Dr. G in August of last year (2010). After having done loads of research on the procedure itself and then on different surgeons, I chose Dr. G over the other surgeons I had considered for 3 specific reasons:
1. His credentials: his education, both initially and continuing are stellar. He maintains more certifications than are required of him and he partners with Swedish for several reasons, all which benefit his patients directly.
2. His patients' before/after photos for the procedure I wanted were beautiful - I found no (what I call) "googly boobs" where the nipples point in different directions. That was dissimilar to any other surgeons' portfolio photos I had seen.
3. After meeting with Dr. G for a consultation, I felt better informed than I had been, walking into his office. It would seem that that is to be expected but his office is the only place where that occurred; like I said, I did LOADS of research before even starting to read about surgeons in particular.
I knew I had made the right choice when:
After my surgery, I discussed the procedure and precautions used in my recovery with my sister, who had had the same surgery years prior by another surgeon. She had had a much different experience and unfortunately, much different (less) afer care and instruction.
Dr. G and his staff kept communication with me as often and as consistently as they had before and during my procedure/recovery. I feel that my health and satisfaction has been as important to them as it is to me. Even after nearly a full year, they still reach out to me and I've been glad to be able to tell them each time that I'm still as happy as the day of "my big reveal"... or maybe happier! I have since referred several of my friends and family to his office - for all types of cosmetic enhancement inquiries they have had."

“Perfectionism at It's Best - Seattle, WA”
"I had wanted a face lift and a tummy tuck for years. I eventually had the good fortune to have Dr. Grenley do both surgeries although several years apart. I chose the face lift first. I swear he gave me the Hollywood face lift. It has been almost nine years and I look every bit as good as when he first reshaped my face. The tummy tuck was one year ago. I wrote about it before. The #1 thing to know about Dr. Grenely is his commitment to doing the best job he can for you, whatever the cosmetic procedure may be. I would recommend Dr. Grenely for any cosmetic procedure you would like to have. He is a perfectionist!!!"
