My son has been seen by Dr. Grady and the staff at Childrens even before he was born. Dr. Grady first examined him in person when he was 4 days old and he is now 6. My son has a rare urology condition that Dr. Grady had never seen before. He has performed 4 outstanding reconstruction surgeries on him and he is perfect now. He's an amazing surgeon and his bed side manners are outstanding. My son gets so excited to go see Dr. Grady each year for his follow up appointments. He and my son seem to share a very special connection. At least that's how Dr. Grady always makes us feel. He has always gone above and beyond I would recommend him to anyone!! I feel Dr. Grady is a blessing handed to our family and to my son. I would travel where ever I needed for my son to continue in Dr. Grady's care!! So please Dr. Grady stay at Seattle Childrens until Ethan is 18!!

Dr. Grady sees my son, Steven, we travel from Alaska for clinic visits. Dr. Grady not only took care of Steven's urological issues, but went the extra mile to connect us with everyone else we needed to see. We always enjoy our visits when we have appointments with Dr. Grady, and want to say thanks for all he has done!
