ABOUT
Dr. Grimm brings to Diana Health his passion for compassionate, empathetic care. With over a decade of experience in OB/GYN care, Dr. Grimm believes in a truly whole health approach, one that focuses on your emotional and social needs, along with physical care.
“The longer I do this work, the more I realize that traditional medicine is important, but it doesn’t always have the answers. Many times our greatest needs are less physical and more social-emotional. Sometimes just being present in someone’s life and supporting them where they are (particularly in moments of sorrow or hardship) is far more important. “
