The first outpatient vein clinic west of Toronto was opened by Dr. Grondin in 1985. Echosclerotherapy (ultrasound guided injection treatments for varicose veins) and ultrasound cartography (ultrasound mapping of the venous system) was performed for the first time in Canada at his clinic. He went onto pioneer the ultrasound guided catheter injection (Echosclerotherapy with Catheter) for difficult to reach varicose veins.Today, his technique is practiced worldwide and has not been associated with accidental arterial injection. As well, Dr. Grondin was the first physician to treat varicose veins with foam sclerotherapy in Canada.

In  2003 Endovenous Laser Surgery (ELVeS) was introduced to the practice. Within a short time, Dr. Grondin combined foam sclerotherapy with endovenous laser surgery which is another break through in the treatment of venous disease.

At the urging of his patients, Dr. Grondin expanded his practice to include cosmetic procedures. He is instrumental in the organization of medical and cosmetic meetings and workshops in Canada and abroad.
