Dr. Grisel began his sports medicine career in southern California where he received extensive training in equine surgery and radiology under the tutelage of a world-renowned veterinary staff. Upon completing a residency in equine surgery with an emphasis on arthroscopy, Dr. Grisel was recruited by Oregon State’s College of Veterinary Medicine where he spent time on the large animal teaching staff. His surgical interests focused on performance-related problems, and he developed and published many surgical techniques designed to better treat the equine athlete.

In 1997 Dr. Grisel built The Atlanta Equine Clinic, a state-of-the-art, full-service equine diagnostic, surgical, and emergency care facility located in Georgia. Over the years, Dr. Grisel has developed a reputation for his meticulous and accurate diagnostic ability, as well as for his effective treatment strategies for performance-related problems in the horse. He is regularly consulted on issues concerning lameness and pre-purchase examinations worldwide.
