Profile

Dr. Gopal Grandhige is a board-certified surgeon specializing in body contouring, high-definition liposuction, and incision-less weight loss procedures. More than “just a surgeon”, he is also the visionary behind the Formation brand. By focusing on his specific areas of interest, he creates and innovates — constantly challenging himself, educating his peers, and helping his clients realize what is possible.

After completing his undergraduate at The Johns Hopkins University, his medical school at The University of Michigan – Ann Arbor, and his surgical residency and two fellowships at Yale New Haven Hospital, Dr. Grandhige moved to Tampa in 2009 with his husband Darin and their GSP, Winthrop.

Over the years, he has flown around the country to participate in national research studies, speak at national meetings, and proctor/teach other surgeons the latest endoscopic and laparoscopic techniques. This allowed his book knowledge to crystallize into life experience, the foundation on which he built his vision of housing other innovators under one “roof” — Formation.

Everything Dr. Grandhige does at Formation is inspired by the belief that just like the “outsides” of ourselves can be chiseled and sculpted, so too can the “insides” be focused and strengthened. And true, lasting change only occurs when patients address both the external and internal aspects of themselves.

Dr. G and staff Lissette and Rochelle is very polite, patient, kind, and listeners. You can ask all of your questions without feeling rushed. Dr. G performed a Hiatal Hernia Repair, everything went great. I had some complications, trouble swallowing after I got home and was resubmitted to the hospital. He came to the hospital every day to make sure I was doing better and my medications was working. His "bedside manners" are superb. When I've called his after hour service, he called back within 10-15 minutes, he's great. I told them today that I've never experienced this type of patient service that I have with their office. They truly care about the patient. If I could give them a 100% I would...

Dr.Grandhige is an excellent, knowledgeable physician. He takes the time to thoroughly explain the cause and procedures to patients. He’s definitely someone I’d trust to medically treat me and highly recommend.

I went to see Dr. Grandhige at Formation for Morpheus8 treatments. Prior to the treatment Dr. Grandhige and his clinical staff spent a significant amount of time with me going over what to expect before, during and after the treatment. During the short recovery time- slight bruising, swelling and redness, I had no concerns because of their careful attention to detail. Dr. Grandhige and his team provided personalized care during the procedure to ensure I was as comfortable as possible. I have been SO pleased with my results and the care provided by the Formation team. I could not recommend Formation more.

****READ THIS REVIEW BEFORE CHOOSING THIS DOCTOR**** Dr Grandhige spent a grand total of 5-10 minutes consulting me concerning my reflux damage that caused vocal cord cancer. ****THAT'S CAUSED CANCER**** Grandhige seemed detached and very distant.....he talked about office redecorating while I'm dealing with increasing leukoplakia that "could" cause more vocal cord cancer.....not to mention---difficulty in swallowing and speaking! BIG DEALS FOR ME!! Never even looked at my throat. Had his staff administer ambulatory Ph monitor--expedience---(affixing numerous sensors in my throat via nasal canal)....yes you can imagine the extreme discomfort for the 24 test. *****Did I mention none of Grandhige's staff are nurses? **** Hmmmmm..... I had to repeatedly call to ascertain test results---it took weeks to receive test in mail. Called by "office staff" (not nurses...) and was told Idoctor wasn't scheduling surgery due to lack of acid reflux incidents. ****WHY DIDN'T DOCTOR CALL HIMSELF?**** Instead of lay person working front desk? ****SHOWS HOW LITTLE MY HEALTH MEANS TO GRANDHIGE**** I had 18 incidents of "reflux" in 24 hours. Again explained by office girl---NOT THE EXPERT DOCTOR. Amazingly, this doctor only sets surgery for 50 incidents in 24 hours....NOT CONSIDERING the EXTREME leukoplakia covering my vocal cords and throat! And Grandhige stated it wasn't "acid" reflux (I had gastric bypass---so I knew it was NOT acid----but I suspect "bile" reflux---much more damaging.) I had told Grandhige I thought it was NOT acid causing my problems..... So Grandhige in essence is treating by "charts" rather than than actual physical conditions! I'm going to file a claim with insurance and Medicare; *****NEVER have I received LESS PROFESSIONAL courtesy from a physician charged with my best care!!!***** Who cares about his avante garde Southie Tampa address and decorated offices......I went to Grandhige for expert care and professional treatment. *****I received neither***** -----------BEWARE----- ==========RESPONSE FROM DOCTOR'S STAFF======= Talked around all the facts---and Dr Grandhige even chose to delegate this response to someone else. Totally impersonal....seemingly unprofessional....NEVER COMMUNICATED with me----and we're talking "LIFE THREATENING" conditions! In 70+ years of medical care, the way Grandhige failed to even acknowledge let alone respect me shows complete lack of compassion not to mention expertise.....again with potential loss of life. "IF" Grandhige is the "expert" he claims to be....logic dictates he'd have knowledgeable answers for my worsening condition.... BUT THERE YOU HAVE IT-----nothing! THanks Doc----NOT!!!
