Dr Grantham performed rotator cuff and bicep repair surgery on my left shoulder and arm. He was kind and informative before and after. It has been 6 weeks since surgery and almost no pain during recovery. The care he and the Lexington clinic staff have provided is A-Plus!

Review for Dr. Grantham

Dr Harrod did not rush in and out. He took time to make a diagnosis and develop a treatment plan while throughly explaining all steps. He was face to face the entire visit-no computer.
