From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Peter H. Grossman is a Board-certified plastic surgeon who directs Grossman Burn Centers, one of the largest burn centers in the world, headquartered at West Hills Hospital in Los Angeles, with branches that have included facilities in Santa Ana and Bakersfield, CA; Phoenix, AZ; Kansas City, MO, and Lake Charles, LA. In addition to treating people with grievous burns through the Burn Centers, he also has provided cosmetic and reconstructive surgery through his private medical practice, which includes Grossman Medical and Los Angeles Laser, treating many actors, producers and directors, and others in the Los Angeles area.[1][2][3]

He is also co-founder of Grossman Burn Foundation, which provides burn-prevention education and self-sustainable burn treatment communities in the United States and around the world. His work with burn-injured patients, especially from other countries, has received attention from major American media outlets.[4]

Education[edit]

After acquiring a BA in history from Northwestern University and an MD from the Chicago Medical School, Dr. Grossman completed his general surgery residency at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, a plastic and reconstructive surgery residency at the University of Missouri, Kansas City, and fellowships in breast reconstructive surgery and aesthetic and endoscopic surgery at the University of Alabama, Birmingham.[1][2][3]

Cosmetic Surgery and Plastic Surgery[edit]

Complemented by his reconstructive surgery experience, Dr. Grossman's cosmetic surgery practice includes facial rejuvenation surgery (e.g., facelift, brow lift and eyelid surgery, rhinoplasty), body contouring, breast surgery, et cetera as well as laser tattoo removal and other minimally invasive and non-invasive rejuvenation procedures.[2]

He also owns Los Angeles Laser Spa, its website noting that Dr. Grossman's practice, "spanning over 20 years, has been recognized as an industry leader utilizing lasers long before they were 'cool'."[5]

He has been recognized as an "Industry Favorite" by Hollywood Reporter, which has listed him among "Hollywood's Top Doctors: Best Plastic Surgeons in Los Angeles," describing him as "one of the most in-demand medical experts in his field," whose clientele includes "on-camera stars plus many producers and executives who live in the area surrounding his San Fernando Valley offices."[6]

He played himself as a cosmetic surgeon in the TV series documentary Vivid Valley (2004).[7]

Grossman Burn Centers[edit]

Dr. Grossman divides his practice between cosmetic and reconstructive surgery and care for burn-injured patients. The son of Dr. A. Richard Grossman (1933-March 13, 2014), prominent Los Angeles surgeon, Dr. Grossman joined his father's practice, Grossman Medical Group, in 1995, and together helped build the practice and its original burn center.[4][8]

History[edit]

According to Dr. Grossman's description of the history of the Burn Centers, his father had originally established the first burn center after "a tragic event back in 1958, when a catastrophic fire struck Our Lady of Angeles parochial elementary school in Chicago." "Four nuns and ninety-three children, several of whom were so badly charred it was impossible to tell if they were girls or boys, perished. Many of the bodies were taken to Cook County Hospital and evaluated by emergency room resident, Dr. A. Richard Grossman, my father. The experience had a profound effect on the young doctor and was a driving force behind his vision to create a world-class comprehensive burn treatment facility dedicated to providing the best burn care anywhere. My dad subsequently moved to Los Angeles and set about achieving that vision. In 1969, he convinced Sherman Oaks Community Hospital, located in a suburb of Los Angeles, to devote two beds exclusively to burn care. By 1978, the burn center had expanded into a free-standing, 30-bed specialty unit."[9]

Dr. Grossman's father had developed many pioneering techniques that have become standard practice in burn treatment.[10] "His office was one of the first to use a hyperbaric chamber to put fire victims in pressurized vessels, to help fight infection and preserve blood pressure levels." His father ultimately treated numerous firefighters and other burn victims in the Los Angeles area, including celebrities like Richard Pryor.[8]

After joining his father's practice in 1995 (the same year that the center officially became named Grossman Burn Center, in honor of its founder),[11] Dr. Grossman first became Associate Director of the Sherman Oaks facility[4] and ultimately co-Director of Grossman Burn Centers. In 2010, the original Grossman Burn Center left its 40-year home at Sherman Oaks and moved to West Hills Hospital & Medical Center, its current headquarters.[12] By 2013, the West Hills facility had expanded to 35 burn care beds, remaining "one of the largest and most comprehensive burn centers in the country."[9]

Expansions[edit]

As co-Director (and as sole Director since his father's death in 2013), Dr. Grossman has overseen the expansion of the single burn center into several facilities comprising "Grossman Burn Centers" — both within the state of California and in other states.

Expansions have included the burn center at Western Medical Center in Santa Ana, CA[4][13] (the Medical Center was also known as Western Medical Center Auxiliary, and it is today named Orange County Global Medical Center[14]); Bakersfield Memorial Hospital[15] in Bakersfield (formerly at San Joaquin Community Hospital[16] in Bakersfield); Our Lady of Lourdes Regional Medical Center[17] in Lafayette, Louisiana; St. Luke’s Medical Center[18] in Phoenix, Arizona, and most recently Research Medical Center[19] in Kansas City, Missouri.

Louisiana[edit]

In 2009, an expansion was underway in Southwest Louisiana at Our Lady of Lourdes Regional Medical Center in Lafayette, Louisiana, described in the local news coverage: "Now, Southwest Louisiana welcomes its first and only specialized burn center. At Our Lady of Lourdes Regional Medical Center in Lafayette, a six-bed intensive care unit for both adult and pediatric burn patients becomes the only center of its kind on the I-10 corridor between Houston and Baton Rouge. Chief Nurse Officer Michelle Crain says, 'The problem has been that our patients were having to go as far north as Shreveport or as far west as Galveston to receive care and that creates a hardship on our families.' Crain has been working alongside Grossman Burn Centers Medical Director, Dr. Peter Grossman to get this state-of-the-art burn unit off the ground and operable for patients. 'Our goal is to take care of the patients from the time they get burned throughout their entire hospitalization and then following up on them,' says Dr. Grossman, 'making sure that they can heal to their fullest ability.' This is a task that will be under the direction of Dr. Grossman, who's actually based out of the Grossman Burn Centers in Southern California. It was recognizing the need for a burn unit along the Gulf Coast that led him to Lafayette."[17]

Phoenix[edit]

The Phoenix facility was described in local news coverage: "PHOENIX -- Thanks to a unique partnership with Grossman Burn Centers, St. Luke's Medical Center cut the ribbon Tuesday on a new burn center, the second in Phoenix.... Working in collaboration with GBC medical director, Peter H. Grossman, M.D., FACS, Grossman Burn Center at St. Luke's Medical Center will offer comprehensive treatment through all phases of recovery for patients of all ages, infants to adults. Not only will the center offer critical care and reconstructive surgical treatments, it will also offer outpatient services, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, psychology services and rehabilitation. 'An important part of our program includes collaboration with local fire departments, as well as community physicians and organizations, to bring prevention education and resources to the communities we serve,' said Lorena Silva, Chief Nursing Officer at St. Luke’s Medical Center, in a news release."[18]

Kansas City[edit]

The Kansas City facility is described on its webpage: "The Grossman Burn Center (GBC) today announced it has signed an agreement to establish a burn center at Research Medical Center in Kansas City, Mo. The eight-bed GBC facility will offer a full range of acute and reconstructive surgical care as well as an outpatient clinic. The new burn unit is scheduled to open on October 1, 2013. The Grossman Burn Center at Research Medical Center is GBC’s first facility in the Midwest and its second collaboration with the Hospital Corporation of America (HCA), the nation’s leading provider of health care services.... In addition to serving the greater Kansas City metropolitan area, the new burn unit also is expected to draw patients from the eight additional HCA Midwest Health System hospitals located within the surrounding 150-mile catchment area. 'Our new Kansas City burn center marks a milestone in the history of the Grossman Burn Centers,' says GBC Medical Director Peter H. Grossman, MD. 'Expanding beyond our traditional base of operations in California and the Southwest not only validates our surgical achievements, but our business model as well.'"[19]

GBC Services[edit]

With the establishment of the Kansas City facility, Grossman Burn Centers, in totality, were described (on the webpage of its Kansas City facility) as "the largest plastic surgery-based burn practice in the United States,... plastic surgery-based medical centers of excellence specializing in the comprehensive treatment of burns - from acute care and reconstruction, to rehabilitation and psychological counseling." Their approach is to work as a team including "burn surgeons, specialty surgeons, pediatric critical care physicians, medical physicians, nurses, physical and occupational therapists, nutritionists, social workers, respiratory therapists, chaplains, psychologists, and volunteers," offering services such as "2-stage surgery - homograft and autograft; Community safety and prevention education; Debridement under anesthesia; Helipad for rapid transport; Hyperbaric oxygen therapy; Plastic surgery-based; Psychological support; 8-bed dedicated burn unit; Continuum of care; Dedicated burn surgical suite; Hydrotherapy; Outpatient burn services; Post discharge programs; Telemedicine."[10]

Grossman Burn Foundation[edit]

In 2007, Dr. Grossman and his wife Rebecca Gray Grossman founded Grossman Burn Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the Grossman Burn Centers. He is the President and Rebecca is its Chairwoman. Headquartered in Los Angeles, the Foundation "works to provide burn prevention education and self-sustainable burn treatment communities in the United States and around the world." The Foundation was formed shortly after they learned of the trials and tribulations of loving a young burn survivor from Afghanistan, for whom Dr. Grossman performed over thirteen reconstructive surgeries and the Grossmans became legal guardians in the process.[4][20]

According to the Foundation's website, "GBF is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization and signature projects include helping to open the first highly specialized reconstructive surgery and burn center in Kabul, Afghanistan, publishing a Humanitarian Assistance manual for worldwide distribution, developing a Triage Training Program for physicians in developing countries[,] and Project Faith, an ongoing program to support the needs of burn victims. Faith Wanjugo, the inspiration behind the program, was one of the patients GBF brought here from Kenya, Africa for reconstructive surgery after suffering a severe burn injury."[4]

The Foundation also has a training, treatment and telemedicine initiative and as well as the Stop Violence Against Women Globally campaign.[21]

Other Positions[edit]

In March, 2013, Grossman was elected President of the Los Angeles Society of Plastic Surgeons.[22]

Along with his wife Rebecca, Dr. Grossman has been appointed by the United States Department of State as a member of the Health Advisory Committee for the U.S.-Afghan Women’s Council, and has worked closely with Vice Chair Laura Bush and others committee members and officers.[4][13]

According to a State Department description announcing the launch of the Health Advisory Committee, its first meeting was held at the U.S. Department of State on July 26, 2004. "The Committee, comprised of leaders in government, medicine and other health-related fields, will seek to match public and private sector resources with health needs on the ground in Afghanistan, particularly for Afghan women and children." The committee at that time was chaired by Margaret Spellings, Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy, and its members included "Dr. Julie Gerberding (Centers for Disease Control), Jeffrey Gloss and Linda Gloss (Carelift International), Dr. Peter Grossman (Grossman Burn Center, Sherman Oaks Hospital) James Kunder (U.S. Agency for International Development), Dr. Lee Morin (State Department, Bureau of Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs), Dr. William Steiger and Dr. Howard Zucker (Department of Health and Human Services), and Nazanin Samari-Kermani (White House Fellow)."[23]

Dr. Grossman has also been a Clinical Instructor of Medicine of the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA,[24][3] and he has served on the National Faculty of the American Burn Association’s Advanced Burn Life Support Provider Course.[25]

He has also served as chairman of Region 9 of the American Burn Association,[26] which included California, Oregon, Washington, and Hawaii, and he has been appointed as an expert reviewer by the Medical Board of California since 2001.[13][4]

Media[edit]

Dr. Grossman's work has been featured in media, nationally and internationally. Some of the widest coverage has come from his reconstructive surgical work on patients from foreign countries, whose faces were disfigured because of accidents or intentional abuse.

Zubaida[edit]

One of Dr. Grossman's most famous cases was that of Zubaida Hassan, a 9-year-old Afghan girl whose disfigurement caused by an accident with a kerosene lamp required 13 corrective procedures over the period of a year in 2002. When it appeared that Zubaida would have to return to Afghanistan before the series of procedures could be completed, the Grossmans decided to become her legal guardian. Zubaida became like a daughter to the Grossmans, and the story of her transformation from a horribly disfigured girl into a beautiful, happy girl was widely reported. The story was featured on ABC's Prime Time Live, which aired September 11, 2003 (Prime Time Thursday "Zubaida's Miracle" on Prime Time Thursday, hosted by Charles Gibson and Diane Sawyer, and reported by John Quinones,[27] as well as on the Oprah Winfrey Show,[28] Good Morning America, and numerous other television shows.[4][29]

In addition, a documentary profiling the story of Zubaida and the Grossmans aired on the Discovery Health Channel in Season 1, Episode 20 of the Super Surgery series, Feb. 20, 2004, as "Super Surgery: A Face Restored." The video, which was produced by Alan Goldstein FBPA, who worked at the Grossman Burn Center, was nominated for an Emmy Award and was given an Award of Excellence by the BioCommunications Association (BCA) in 2004.[30][31]

The story of Zubaida's journey to recovery with the Grossmans was also made into a book, Tiny Dancer: The Incredible True Story of a Young Burn Victim's Journey from Afghanistan,[32][33] which was featured as "Editor's Choice" in the 100th Anniversary issue of Reader's Digest for August 2005 as well as a 9-page spread in the May 2005 issue of Reader's Digest.[29]

Yulce[edit]

Yulce Dailongi was a young Indonesian girl who was disfigured in 2002 while pouring kerosene into a lit oil lamp. She underwent a year of treatment under Dr. Grossman. Her story was covered in a documentary, "A Face for Yulce," which aired in 2006 on The Learning Channel. Produced by LMNO Entertainment and Elizabeth Massie and edited by Kevin Hudnell, it won Freddie, Hugo, and CINE Golden Eagle awards.[34][35][36]

Aesha[edit]

Bibi Aisha (Aesha Mohammadzai) is a young Afghan woman whose nose and ears had been hacked off by her husband for having attempted to flee her abusive in-laws, possibly being a sentence ordered by a Taliban commander. The Grossman Burn Foundation paid for her trip to the U.S. for reconstructive surgery and ultimately to receive a prosthetic nose. The image of her maimed face was on the cover of Time magazine in August 2010, under the headline, "What Happens if We Leave Afghanistan."[37][38] The famous cover has been described as "the magazine cover that horrified the world" igniting a heated debate.[39] Her story was first reported in The Daily Beast in December 2009[40][41] and later appeared on World News with Diane Sawyer as an ABC News Special in March 2010 (and again in 2014), documenting the story of her reconstructive surgery in the U.S.[42][43]

Presentations[edit]

Since 1990, he has presented medical research and lectures at more than 40 academic symposia and medical conferences, including Midwest Trauma Conference,[44] NECA Safety Professionals,[45] Pediatric Trauma and Critical Care Conference,[46] Kansas City Plastic Surgery Society,[47] California Society of Plastic Surgeons,[48] Los Angeles Society of Plastic Surgeons,[49] American Burn Association,[50] American College of Surgeons,[51] and other societies,[52] as well as litigation committees,[53] hospital meetings,[54] and grand round presentations.[55]

Publications[edit]

Dr. Grossman has authored and co-authored articles for medical journals, such as JAMA Dermatology,[56] Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery,[57] Journal of Burn Care & Research,[58] and Lasers in Surgery and Medicine.[59] He has also contributed to text books on aesthetic breast surgery,[60] forearm fascial flap surgery,[61] and other topics.[62]
