\u201cTaking care of patients is an extremely satisfying experience. Patients come to you with a lot of hope and trust, which no other profession can provide. As an oncologist, you can make a difference in patients\u2019 and their family members lives,\u201d Dr. Grewal said.<\/p>\n

After earning his medical degree, Dr. Grewal completed residency training in internal medicine and fellowship training in hematology and medical oncology.

From cancer-fighting drugs to patient care<\/h2>\n

After completing his fellowship training and his doctorate in tumor immunology, Dr. Grewal took a job with a pharmaceutical company in Boston. His plan was to spend his life developing drugs to fight cancer.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, just a couple of weeks into the job, I realized I missed taking care of patients,\u201d Dr. Grewal said. \u201cThat was a real eye-opener for me. Even though I\u2019m driven by science, coming back to patient care was something I needed to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr. Grewal\u2019s wife, Preetkanwal, is also a physician with Norton Healthcare. She is a geriatrician at nursing homes and rehabilitation facilities.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe really felt that Louisville was the right fit for us,\u201d Dr. Grewal said. \u201cNot only is Louisville a livable city, people here are very personable and bond with each other.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr. Grewal said he wanted to work at Norton Healthcare because of the focus on patients.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t forget who we work for and what we work for \u2014 patients,\u201d he said. \u201cI am certain that this is where I belong, and I look forward to offering my patients the best treatment options and clinical trials<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr. Grewal sees patients with any type of cancer or blood disorder and focuses on gastrointestinal (esophageal; gastric; small and large bowel; pancreatic; liver and biliary tract cancers), head and neck cancers, melanoma and other skin cancers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
