Always attempted to my needs and offers great advice. His physician assistant, Jim, is superb as well.
DR. Graves is the best.
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.
Awesome Dr.
Df Graves always takes the time to explain your condition, answer your questions and includes you in the treatments. He is a wonderful doctor. Been going to him for 10 plus years.
Great doctor, not pushy, lets you decide about surgeries or what you want to do about going forward. He’s done a knee surgery and rotator cuff surgery and I’ve been very pleased with the outcome. Been with this practice 14 years and they are great..
Listening to what I have to say.
great doctor
