Alan Mackenzie Grosset

I was first connected with Dr Grosset in October of 2018. I didn't think I was ever going to be assigned another oncologist after being shuffled around between drs during treatment. I've had him for almost 2 years and now he's abruptly no longer a Dr at my oncology institution, also. I won't bash them on here because I've no where else to go. He was wonderful in diagnosing the many problems that arose from my chemoradiation, I miss him already as now I'm going thru more problems and been assigned another (new to me) oncologist. Have a great life and I hope you achieve all of your dreams!

I first met Dr. Grossett in my hospital room late in the evening. I did not have cancer, I did however have a mystery blood clot in the portal vein of my live. Dr Grossett sat on the bed next to me pen and paper in had an explained in detail what was happening to me, and what we were going to do. I even participated in a woman's blood clot study. To learn that I have to be on a blood thinner for life. I went through a difficult personal time, and Dr Grossett was so kind, helpful even offered to be my advocate. When I received the letter in the mail that we were loosing Dr Grossett because Kootenai Medical Center was going in a direction he didn't agree with. And boy was he correct. I miss you Dr. Grossett.

They often don't prescribe radical treatment for 79 year olds. But without that I would definitely not be here today. And although it was intensive it was something I could get through and then do well.

I had several options for my situation. This doctor was able to help me weigh the pros and cons. My decision was helped a lot by my consultation.

I met Dr Grosset when the diagnosis was stage 4 inoperable rapid growing brain tumor, less than one year to live. He CARED. He told my husband exactly how he would treat him and became a good friend to him along the way. Was always present mentally and physically. Very kind and funny. My husband loved him throughout his 6 YEARS of treatment. After he passed, my children begged to visit Dr Grosset in order to thank him for all the extra time we got to spend with their dad. I would highly reccomend!

If they would thro in a facial and pedicure as I waited for him everything would be great. That's the only extra thing I need. As for medical care, I get the best.

Dr. Alan Grosset was my Doctor for over 10 year's until he was FORCED to moved to Miami Florida. Throughout ALL those year's I found him to be a very very compassionate as well as a highly intelligent Doctor! He truely cared about my medical treatment as well as me as his patient! Coeur d'Alene's loss is Miami's gain regarding Dr. Alan Grosset! Miss you soooo much Doctor Grosset!

i just have to say that of all the oncologists I met at his workplace only he had the courage to tell me the difficult news about my dad, and then go on to treat him compassionately and with open and flexible human touch; stil touch base occasionally by email

pleasant visits that help me understand my options a lot

Quite different from my previous oncologist. Sometimes very intense and detailed, if something new has come up. Otherwise, when I'm doing well, he can be very funny and supportive. Great encouragement! Glad I found him.
