Grant Lindee, MD

Bio

I was born in Denver, Colorado and grew up on the Stanford University campus where my father served as Associate Dean of the Medical School. I attended the University of Colorado and subsequently Tufts University Medical School in Boston. Following my post-graduate training in San Francisco, I repaid my medical school financial obligations by living on the beach in Hawaii for three years while serving at a large Army Teaching Hospital in Honolulu, Hawaii. This bliss was interrupted briefly by my assignment to run a Radiology department at an Evacuation Hospital in the Saudi Arabian desert during the first Gulf War.

My Medical Specialty

More details about my specialty:

Medical Imaging includes all forms of diagnostic "pictures" such as MRI, CT, Ultrasounds, and X-rays. I enjoy the inherent problem-solving as well as the wide interaction with physicians from other specialties.

I was exposed to medicine while young through my father. The compassion and the desire to help patients was reinforced while living with a college roommate who was undergoing treatment for Hodgkin's Disease.

I joined Kaiser Santa Rosa in 1992. I feel that the Kaiser Permanente system currently serves as the model for what is "right" about medicine.

Travel

One of my recent trips:

My family and I enjoy returning to Hawaii and visiting with old friends. I try and take annual personal trips centered on some kind of biking/hiking adventures to the Southwest Desert. I have recently returned from a camping/canyoneering trip in Southern Utah.
