Joseph S. Gruss, MD

Dr. Gruss is an amazing surgeon. I was born with a treble cleft-lip and palate along with other cranio-facial issues. He did such a good job with me through a series of 10+ surgeries! He is an good person and if he's your doctor than you're in good hands.

Dr. Gruss rebuilt my face over a series of six surgeries. I could not have asked for a better surgeon, and am so thankful that I was lucky enough to have him. If he is your doctor, you are in good hands.

Dr Gruss is the best surgeon in the northwest for Craniosynostosis surgery. He did an awesome job on my daughter back in 1994.

Dr. Gruss performed a Craniectomy on my daughter Sarah when she was five, after it became evident that her condition due to Saethre-Chotzen syndrome was impairing proper growth developement, despite a previous craniectomy years earlier. I am happy to report that not only is my daughter now age 22, but she has a daughter of her own who is now 13 months old. Without Dr. Gruss and his team, I don't know if we would be able to enjoy this small miracle.

My son had Dr. Gruss as his surgent for Metopic Cranio, and I am so grateful he was the one to do it! He is an amazing Dr. and we are lucky to have had him work on our son. It is because of Dr. Gruss that our son is living the life he was so meant to have!

Dr Gruss comes very well praised by many of his collegeues. I had a terrible time after cheek lifts and a neck lipoma removal. Many doctors told me that Dr Gruss was the guy to see to resuspend the tissues/muscles in my face to their proper placement so that I may lead a somewhat more comfortable life. I have a fabulous husband and family.I just want to be active again. To walk exercise and heal. I can deal with pain I think but it is the loss of physical ability that frightens me most. To get old, sick because I can not take care of myself...I am praying that Dr gruss has a plan for me. With Dr Anthony from SF, I keep my prayers and thoughts up and trusting. Dr Gruss is a wonderful, honest, talented doctor. I do believe that I can trust him.

My daughter has been a patient of the Craniofacial Center for almost 14 years. Dr. Gruss has done a fabulous job on all of her surgeries. I feel privileged to live in the Seattle area and have access to such a wonderful doctor and craniofacial team.

Dr. Gruss has been one of my doctors here at Children's Hospital for almost 14 years. 13 years ago last month he fixed my skull because the plates had closed before I was born. He is a very nice doctor, who makes me smile. He remembers who I am every time I see him. He also remembers that someone taped my surgery with him. Thank you Dr. Gruss for making me who I am today.
