General Info

Born and raised in San Diego, California, Dr. Grady grew up in a pair of shorts. He attended UCLA where he majored in micro and molecular biology while learning some French along the way. He received his Medical Degree at McGill University in Montreal, Quebec, where he quickly learned that surviving the elements would depend upon long pants! He completed his internal medicine residency at McGill at the SMBD Jewish General Hospital and next ventured to Boston, Massachusetts for a fellowship in Endocrinology with an emphasis in sleep medicine and clinical research. Tiring of harsh winters and grant writing he returned west landing in beautiful Portland, OR at PDEC. Dr. Grady believes quality medical care is built upon patient education and the patient-caregiver relationship. Patients are best served when they understand the reason for medical recommendations and treatments. He tries to convey the scientific background to medical decision-making to all of his patients and strives to involve them in all such decisions. This works best in a collaborative relationship which can only really exist if there is trust. Trust follows from hearing out and trying to answer the unique concerns of each patient at each visit. His primary interest is in the management of thyroid disorders including nodular thyroid disease, thyroid cancer, and functional thyroid disorders. He also sees patients with full spectrum endocrine disorders including all types of diabetes. Like his two greyhounds, he is a retired runner. He remains an avid exerciser by hiking, biking, and swimming. He enjoys cooking Middle Eastern, Persian, Indian, SE Asian, and Mexican dishes and reading fiction and history. He creates mosaics in his spare time. He is the chief cook and bottle washer for a beautiful wife, two daughters, two greyhounds, and one chicken.
