Initially I was apprehensive, but Dr. Grossfeld was calm, confident and positive throughout the whole process.”

My recovery time took only six days before I played a full on 100% basketball game.”

“I am a classical ballet dancer with the Louisville Ballet. I appreciate Dr. Grossfeld as an orthopaedic because she makes best efforts to understand the mastery and consequence of dancing eight hours a day. Dr. Grossfeld has comprehensive resources for treatment and understands the importance of rehabilitation. But most importantly, she makes sure I can do what I love…Dance.”
“I have been a patient of Dr. Grossfeld’s since 1997. She has always been very professional, as has her office staff. It’s nice to come into the office and have the staff recognize you instead of being treated like “just another patient”. Dr. Grossfeld has always approached my treatment carefully and cautiously, including consulting with other doctors outside of her practice and even presenting me at a conference to best plan out my course of treatment.”
