Grant Fankhauser was born and raised in Wichita, Kansas and attended the University of Virginia for college. There he studied finance while completing his pre-medical requirements. He returned to Kansas to attend the University of Kansas for medical school where he began his research in surgery. Grant received his general surgery training at the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, Arizona, and continued research in plastic, general, and vascular surgery. He stayed at the Mayo Clinic to complete a fellowship in vascular surgery.
After completing his surgical training, Grant started his academic surgical career at the University of Texas Medical Branch, where he was appointed as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Surgery. He continues research in vascular surgery and surgical education. After moving to Texas, Grant earned a Master of Business Administration at West Texas A&M University and is working toward a Master of Health Administration degree.
Grant’s clinical practice includes vascular, general, trauma, and acute care surgery, although most of his time is spent in vascular surgery. His clinical interests include aortic and carotid surgery, endovascular surgery, venous disease, aneurysms, and arterial disease.

Why do some providers have no ratings?
A provider may have no ratings for several reasons. A provider's ratings are only posted when she/he has a minimum of 30 completed surveys within the past twelve months. New-to-UTMB providers or individuals in less common areas of practice may be temporarily under this threshold. Also, the UTMB Health provider directory includes listings for independent community physicians and other health care providers who serve patients in our facilities. Ratings for these individuals, who are part of their own private practices, are not currently available to us.
