What happens when you grow up with no doctors in your family, no blueprint to follow, and still find your way to the top of one of the most elite, male-dominated fields in medicine? In this unforgettable episode of Doctors Eyes Only, Lauren Oschman CFP® sits down with Dr. Betsy Grunch, a board-certified neurosurgeon, mother, and the powerhouse behind the LadySpineDoc brand.
