This doctor has my highest respect as he has shown me thru numerous surgeries that he is very thorough, knowledgeable and caring. I have no complaints with him or his staff.
Ever since the first time that I seen Dr Graves when I broke my leg he has been nothing but good . I would recommend him to anyone .
Did not see Dr. Graves during my visit, but saw his excellent PA, Jim Bethune!
Very direct and thorough. He made me feel a direct bond of communication and answered my questions directly.
Informative and very helpful!
I have been seeing Dr Graves for16 plus years. Very caring and includes you in your choice of treatments. Takes the time to answer all questions. Wouldn’t go anywhere else.
Dr. Graves is the best. Very knowledgeable, explains everything well and never talks down to me. I've seen him for 25+ years. He's my orthopaedic surgeon.
Awesome Doctor!!!!!
Great Surgeon.
Seeing me for an initial consult, Dr. Graves was engaging and informative, and provided excellent advice that put my mind at ease. He provided much more time than I expected, and clearly set up next steps.
