Jay W Granzow, MD

Never got to see the doc, although reviews of his work are great. His scheduler was so patronizing and condescending and unpleasant on the phone it would be hard to contemplate paying $ 1000 for a consultation to be talked down to by staff.
A shame, his work is really exciting, but such a bad taste after calling that office.

I called Dr. Granzow’s office 2 weeks ago after finding Dr Granzow was on the list in my network of preferred providers. I was told that Dr Granzow was not a contracted provider with UCH Choice Plus PPO. So I call United healthcare about my plan and United healthcare did inform me that Dr. Granzow is in fact a contracted preferred provider with my particular UHC health plan. Can anyone here advise me as to why there is a discrepancy between United healthcare records and Dr. Granzow’s office? I would really like to schedule some surgeries with Dr. Granzow but I need somebody to confirm with your office as to why dr. was not listed in your records as an in network preferred provider. A supervisor with United healthcare did email me a current list of providers and Dr Gransow was indeed on that list. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Marybeth F

Saw Dr. Granzow for my post surgery followup. I cannot say it enough, best doctor and staff ever. Dr. Granzow is never rushed, he answers all questions. Everyone in this office, gives you all the time you need to get all the answers you are looking for. My lymph node transfer was a success. My leg looks and feels wonderful. The surgery was not difficult. Am so glad I decided to move forward and have the procedure done. Many thanks to Dr. Granzow, Julie, Gretchen and Shayla. What a fantastic team!!!

Went to Dr. Granzow’s office today for my first ever Botox treatment. Have to admit I was a little nervous heading there, but from the moment I arrived that disappeared. Shayla and Gretchen were amazing. They both took the time to listen to my concerns, answer all my questions, and explain exactly how the procedure would go. Gretchen was a true professional. She was gentle, precise, and thorough with the treatment. Before I knew it I was on my way back to work. No pain and no swelling. I highly recommend Dr. Granzow’s office to anyone considering Botox.

Dr. Granzow is truly amazing and I will gladly give Dr. Granzow a 5 star rating! I wish I could give him a higher rating because I think both he and his staff are outstanding in every aspect!

I am a cervical cancer survivor and development lymphedema in my leg from all my cancer surgery and treatments. For 18 years I struggled to manage and maintain my lymphedema but was not successful. My lymphedema got worse and limited my daily activities. Until one day my PT told me about a doctor and the surgery he could do to help my lymphedema. I sought out Dr. Granzow and schedule my first appointment to see him. From the first minute I nervously walked into his office, I felt I was in good hands. Everyone in the office made me feel comfortable. Dr. Granzow took the time to examine me and explain what he could do to help me. From there I meet with several other people in his office that each explained all the next steps that would follow to more forward to my surgery. This first appointment was long but very informational. I knew exactly what to expect in the next few months before my surgery. I want to add that I have been in lots of doctor’s offices but Dr. Granzow and his staff are the BEST! Not only are they each individually very friendly and helpful but they all work together well.
Now that it has been 6 months since my suction assisted protein lipctomy surgery, I can honestly say that Dr. Granzow has transformed my life. My leg has almost returned to normal size but most of all I have gained back my mobility that was so limited before this surgery. It is back to daily walks with my dog and the gym for this girl! I owe this all to this amazing surgeon and his professional team that made this possible for me. I know I still need more surgery but with Dr. Granzow as my surgeon, I do not worry.

I had been thinking of getting botox and fillers for several years. Recently, I went to see Gretchen at Dr. Granzow’s office for my first experience. Shayla started out my appointment asking me what I wanted to see and was very personable and made me at ease. Gretchen then did the same and really listened to me. This is important because what she was about to do will effect my face which is the first thing people see. Gretchen was patient, detailed, and gentle. I wanted to keep a portion of my wrinkles and lines as removing them all was not an option. Gretchen made me look refreshed, younger, and I feel more confident. I will be back again. Thank you Shayla and Gretchen for making the experience wonderful and providing great results!

Dr. Granzow does amazing work! His conservative and natural approach when using injections is amazing. When I get Botox it opens up my eyes in addition to eliminating my wrinkles. The best part, people think I am younger than I am and ask me why I look refreshed after my treatments set in… Dr. Granzow also fixed a botched scar from another doctor. Whether you are looking for surgical or cosmetic work you will be in great hands! The wonderful staff is just icing on the cake and it enhances the overall experience!

I had my breast done several years ago by a doctor that decided to give me what he wanted, not what I asked him for. I walked in asking for C’s, let me tell you, I walked out with 500cc implants! I wasn’t even close to a C and I had a uniboob. I am a small person with a small frame and those implant weighed a pound a piece, it was horrible and to boot, he promised to fix it in 9 months and when I went back to see him he was a complete jurk and he was mean. Its been five years of unhappiness. So that’s the sob story…
Now for happy story… I went to see Dr. Jay, who I heard from a girlfriend loves to fix other doctors mess ups… And that what he did! He is meticulous. He sat with my husband and I, and explained the procedure step by step. wasn’t bothered with too many questions. Not only am I happy, but he is a wonderful person on top of it. Cares about the patient… I am very happy, he fixed both a bad boob job and a horrible tummy tuck… He truly is the cats meow!!! Thank you Dr. Jay!!!

Dr. Granzow is my plastic surgeon. I had my breast implants removed with a breast lift, AND fat from my abdomen put into my breasts. My breasts are the same size now as they were with implants! I am now a 36C, but all my own.
Dr. Granzow is the best surgeon I know. I trust him more than any other surgeon I know. I am a registered nurse on a post-​operative floor at an acute care hospital in Torrance. I have seen the results of many different plastic surgeons. I can honestly say that Dr. Granzow is the best. He has the best results, and the least post-​op infections (none that I know of). He always has the best looking results of any other surgeon. Women fly into Los Angeles every week just to have surgery by Dr Granzow.
I really can’t say enough about Dr Granzow. He has a gift. He has the talent and skill like no other. I am proud to say that I have a body by Dr Granzow!

Dr. Granzow is absolutely amazing. I had a couple cysts on neck/​throat and he took immense care to get them out. He took a great deal of time to answer all of my questions and really cared about my well-​being. The procedure should have only taken one hour, but Dr. Granzow took two, just because of how complicated my situation was. As a result, I healed up much faster and there is no sign of reoccurrence of my symptoms. I should have had a huge ugly scar on my neck, as the holes were quite massive, but Dr. Granzow took extra care in stitching me back up (hence the extra time on the procedure) as a result, I barely have a scar left and it look just as good as before the surgery. In a nutshell, he’s awesome and is amazingly skilled. I HIGHLY recommend to anyone.

Dr. Granzow did my second stage DIEP flap breast reconstruction revision. I went to him to even out the boobs, make the right one larger to match the left one and to decrease the nipple/​areola size (incision) to a smaller area. He did this by using liposuction to remove the fat around my hips and injecting that fat into both right and left boobs to even them out.
He did simply a phenomenal job. He made me look so nice. The incisions were not bloody at all, the wounds healed super super well, and on top of that he fixed my belly button which i didn’t even think he would. (it was an extra feature).
For all ladies considering doing DIEP Flap breast reconstruction or just going for a touch up on their breast reconstruction surgeries or (anyone wanting plastic surgery done): please choose Dr. Granzow. He is very professional: he wrote down all my concerns and goals, he completely explained everything he was going to do, and he did simply an amazing job! usually the day after surgery, your whole body is in a bloody mess and you can’t distinguish the results very well, but second day out of this surgery, i was able to tell that he did a fantastic job. He will give his absolute best to every patient; he stitches the wounds well, he makes nice belly buttons, he essentially will do his best to give you a high quality result that you will be satisfied with. He explains everything in all of his appointments, i never really felt i had to email him after hours for questions, he was able to answer all questions. All breast cancer patients in los angeles area, choose him to make your boobs look beautiful

After spending several months researching and having consultations with multiple doctors, I very wisely chose Dr. Jay Granzow as my surgeon. During my initial consultation, he was informative, performed the most thorough examination I had received so far and made me feel completely comfortable. I immediately knew he was the doctor for me. He spent as much time as I needed in order to explain everything and answer my many questions. He gave me homework which helped him to make sure that he was meeting my every need. His bedside manner before, during and after is wonderful. He is kind, patient and truly cares about you. His staff is just as lovely. Veda was right there with him taking care of me and exudes the same bedside manner that you can expect from him. Shayla was phenomenal. She was helpful, kind and supportive guiding me through the entire process from my first appointment to my post op appts. I am absolutely thrilled with the outcome. He gave me exactly what I was looking for and I am so grateful. I feel much more confident, in proportion and love my new body. Thank you Dr. Jay and the entire staff!

I recently had a mole removed from my nose. Since it was on my face, I needed someone that would do a flawless job. Dr. Granzow is phenomenal! He explained the procedure in detail, answered all my questions, but really — I knew I could just trust him to do what he thought was best.
Dr. Granzow is a perfectionist, in the very best way. That is exactly the type of surgeon you want to have for procedures. Having someone you can trust is extremely important. You can tell immediately that he is knowledgeable, intelligent and advanced, but also learn that he is really sweet. He took the time to understand my goals and fears. I felt like I was talking to my brother.
Veda, Shayla, Yvette, Ashley and the rest of the staff were all very professional, efficient and personable. I could not be happier with the results or the care I received. If/​when I have procedures in the future, I will only use Dr. Granzow. HE IS THE BEST!

I recently had Dr. Granzow perform surgery on me and I cannot reiterate enough how incredible this physician is. He is extremely professional, a true perfectionist (which is essential when looking for a plastic surgeon), unbelievably kind, and (most importantly) an exceptional surgeon. I was deciding between Dr. Granzow and another surgeon, and I am so relieved that I chose Dr. Granzow for my surgery. In addition to him being an incredible person and physician, his staff was equally amazing. Yvette at the front and Shayla in the back (the manager) are friendly, helpful, attentive, quick to respond, and all around awesome. I cannot say enough amazing things about Dr. Granzow and his staff. I would give more than 5 stars if Unilocal would let me!!! :)

I was in a Motorcycle accident, and fractured several bones in my face, around my eye, and fractured my sinus. I also suffered numerous facial lacerations that were very severe, and ripped half my face off, because I was only wearing a ¾ shell helmet and my face was exposed during the accident. Dr. Granzow and his staff has taken care of me since the day of the accident, and I can’t express how happy and grateful I am to him for the amazing work that he has performed on my head and face. I was in the hospital for nearly a month, so you can only imagine how severe my injuries were. If you were to look at me now, you would never know the severity of my accident. Dr. Granzow is truly a gifted and skilled surgeon, and he is so approachable and explains everything in grate detail, and in laymen terms, so it is easy to follow exactly what he will be performing, and what to expect for an outcome. I truly feel that had I not had Dr. Granzow as my surgeon, my results wouldn’t be as successful as they have been. He truly is as good as it gets, and his staff is equally as amazing and tentative as he is. Amazing!!!

I first met Dr. Jay Granzow very shortly after I was diagnosed with a very aggressive breast cancer with lymph node involvement. I was very lucky to have gotten a referral from another extremely qualified surgeon who works on these cases with Dr. Granzow. I also was lucky because Dr. Granzow, though very busy, blocks time on his schedule for newly diagnosed patients. While hospitals and oncology offices may handle a cancer diagnosis like it’s business as usual, Dr. Granzow and his staff understood my need to schedule surgery as quickly as possible.
When we (my husband and I) first met Dr. Granzow, we didn’t know what we were facing or whether or not I would come out alive. Dr. Granzow was looking far into the future, ensuring that his work in the initial surgery would be done in line with my specific desires for the outcome of future reconstructive surgery. At that juncture, when I was consumed with issues of life and death, it seemed a little bit silly to be worrying about my cleavage. I realize now how important it was to be concerned about issues of future appearance. After my hair fell out from chemo and my face got that cancer patient’s sunken-​eyed, hollow cheeked look to it, and my limbs were laden with fluid, I did not recognize the person in the mirror. Having had that experience, I now realize how important it is to be able to look in the mirror today and recognize the healthy, happy image in the mirror — and I’m really happy to have nice cleavage!
Dr. Granzow spent an incredible amount of time answering questions at every stage of the process. He also asked really important questions about my preferences and listened carefully to the answers, using those responses to guide his surgical plan. Dr. Granzow is a leading surgeon, having trained around the world to be able to offer multiple surgical techniques. Usually, a patient ends up getting a surgical technique because that’s the one the surgeon knows. In Dr. Granzow’s case, he is able to offer patients an array of surgical techniques to address their individual reconstruction needs.
After the initial surgery, and after all of my cancer treatments (chemo and radiation) were complete, I returned to Dr. Granzow to plan my reconstruction surgeries. I had developed lymphedema during cancer treatment and I showed up wearing a lymphedema sleeve. Dr. Granzow was — no exaggeration — more upset about the lymphedema than I was. I had no idea that I was sitting in the office of a surgical pioneer in the field of lymphedema surgery.
Dr. Granzow performed an amazingly complex reconstruction surgery that basically moved my belly flab to my chest, and at the same time moved lymph nodes to my underarm. Every single surgeon I have mentioned this to told me that they didn’t even know that a lymph node transfer was possible. Every single physician who has seen the results of my reconstruction, at every stage, has been very impressed by how good it looks. Dr. Granzow spent extra hours so that he could work through a small round incision, and then later he used that round area to build a new nipple. Bottom line, I don’t look like I had two mastectomies and reconstruction, and I have no trouble showering in the locker room at the gym. And by the way, that nice cleavage came in handy when I celebrated my newfound health by spending more time at the beach this summer than in the previous ten years combined, and even took my first surfing lesson!
Sometimes, we encounter doctors who didn’t graduate at the tops of their classes, but they’re really warm, nice people. Other times, we encounter doctors who are really good technicians but not so good with patients and nurses. It is rare to find a world class surgeon who is knowledgeable in both western and eastern medicine, is adored by the nurses, is accessible whenever his patients need him, and who also is a very understanding and considerate physician who treats the whole patient. Dr. Granzow is all of this and more. I would recommend him to anyone.

I can’t rave enough about Dr. Jay, his expertise and his incredible office staff. Having had some very poor experiences (horror stories one in which was on National Television) with doctors in the past, it’s so comforting to deal with someone as professional, kind, with A + bedside doctor manners like Dr. Jay. (He is also a REALLY cool guy). As a self proclaimed perfectionist, I have never met with a doctor who understands and sees things and than is able to point them out and explain in perfect detail like Dr. Jay has with out judgement. Feels great to meet with someone else who thinks like I do but isn’t over the top or out to do anything that will change your appearance in a non natural or over exaggerated manner.
His office staff Claudia in the front and Shayla his Manager are amazing gals. They make you feel so comfortable and special even going above and beyond to assure your satisfaction. The office is clean and welcoming and I am blessed to have been referred to him by a very close friend who also highly recommended him. She couldn’t have been more spot on!
Again rave enough and on a scale from 1 to ten I give him an 11! :)

They say kids will be kids. One unfortunate morning, I heard a scream unlike any other. Within seconds, I found my four year old daughter with her ear split in half after trying to jump from our leather chair to the sofa. We rushed her to Little Company of Mary hospital and the ER docs all said to call in a plastic surgeon. One day, she will want to wear earrings or her hair up on her wedding day, best to try and make it look as good as it used to be. So we agreed.
Dr. Granzow was paged and once he finally arrived, we knew we were in good hands. He was impeccable with us, sensing how scared we were to put our daughter under anesthesia. He spent a considerable amount of time ensuring certain stitches were done perfectly for the various layers of skin. He explained why he had to do certain stitches at certain parts, the curve of her ear provided a particular amount of skill to bring it back precisely etc.
My daughter metabolized the anesthesia faster than the amount of spare drugs they had on hand. But that was no fault of Dr. Granzow per say… but it did cause us all a considerable amount of frustration every time she kept waking up in the middle of him stitching her. They had to keep running to the pharmacy to get more ketamine to knock her out again. Despite the stress of that, Dr Granzow kept calm and took control of the nurses and how much more drugs to bring into the room. He really showed a great bedside manner and at our follow up visit, he was just as great with us. We are very happy that we listened to the ER docs and that Dr. Granzow happened to be be the one to perform the surgery. Highly recommend him!

I am a 2 time breast cancer survivor who has gone through multiple surgeries for reconstruction with several plastic surgeons. I was referred to Dr. Granzow by my previous plastic surgeon. He told me that Dr. Granzow was a skilled surgeon in performing the DIEP Breast Reconstruction.
Dr. Granzow is a perfectionist when it comes to his work. He has the best bedside manners, answered all my questions and made me feel comfortable about my decision to do the surgery. I feel good about how he has made me look and feel about myself. Because of him, I have been able to regain my self-​confidence back. Even my oncologist, as well as any doctor who has seen me, all say the same thing… that it’s the BEST reconstruction that they’ve seen.
Dr. Granzow is a wonderful doctor! He is the only plastic surgeon I’ve had that actually asked my opinion as to what I thought about what he was going to do before he even started. I liked that he included my input and that my opinion mattered.
I think very highly of Dr. Granzow and would not hesitate to recommend him to any breast cancer patient considering the DIEP Breast Reconstruction. He is a very skilled surgeon who cares about how his patient looks and feels and takes pride in what he does. He is the kind of surgeon that anyone would want to have.

Last year is was diagnosed with breast cancer, thought I would never look natural normal again. I was referred to Dr. Granzow by my Oncologist. She said he was the best and she was so right. Had a mastectomy & reconstruction at the same time. And today, I feel natural, normal and really can’t feel that I ever had cancer.
Dr. Granzow is unbelievable, he’s kind, sincere & a hell-​of a doctor. Shayla, the surgical consultant, is wonderful!
I never felt like a patient there, it was more like a friend making me better.
I can’t say enough great things to say about Dr. Granzow, but thank you…
