I've known Dr. Graves over a century. He is a great doctor and always knows how to resolve my concerns. Honestly, my last visit with him he seemed so peaceful and understanding and I loved that energy on him. Thank you Dr Graves for all you've done and all you do and also to your PA Jim Bethune..xoxo
Dr. Graves always takes the time to explain my condition and give me my options.
Only saw him for a few minutes after seeing Dr. Welch who was not all informative. Left knowing or understanding new information. No thorough explanation. Very disappointed.
