Jonathan Grinstein, MD

Assistant Professor of Medicine Director, Mechanical Circulatory Support

25 Insurance Plans Accepted

Jonathan Grinstein, MD, FACC, is a highly respected cardiologist specializing in the medical management of advanced heart failure. Dr. Grinstein treats patients who require long-term IV medications or continuous infusion pump medications, mechanical circulatory support, such as left ventricular assist devices (LVADs), and heart transplantation.

Along with his devotion to excellent clinical care, Dr. Grinstein is passionate about furthering medicine through research. Dr. Grinstein has evaluated and perfected echocardiographic and computed tomography techniques that noninvasively monitor the pressure and volume inside the heart for patients with an implanted LVAD. This technique allows cardiologists to analyze how well a patient is responding to the device and make necessary adjustments in real time. Additionally, Dr. Grinstein is conducting research to develop a “smart” LVAD that can intuitively adjust its speed based on the physiological needs of the patient. He is also using computational fluid dynamics to study and predict blood flow patterns through the LVAD to maximize device performance.

Dr. Grinstein’s research has been published in several high-impact, peer-reviewed journals, including the Journal of Cardiac Failure, American Society for Artificial Internal Organs Journal, Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation and JACC: Cardiovascular Imaging.

Why does this provider not have a star rating?

Our goal is to provide our patients and visitors with correct and useful information. We only post provider satisfaction information from clinic surveys when they are returned from patients.

This provider has not had surveys returned that meet the necessary sample size

About Our Star Ratings and Comments:

Randomly selected patients are sent patient satisfaction surveys after their visits. We get thousands of survey responses each year. The responses are used to improve patient experience and recognize staff members for the care they provide. Patient survey responses are also used to make star ratings for each provider.

For the star ratings and comments, all feedback on the provider web page is posted as it was given from patients. Comments that do not apply, risk patient privacy, or are not appropriate are not posted. Star ratings and comments come from a number of survey questions. A star rating is not given if a provider only has a small number of survey responses.

We now offer video visits, so you can see a doctor from your mobile device or computer.
