excellent, easy to talk to Orthopedic doctor. He isn't an alarmist and will try to avoid surgery only as a last resort. Went to him about 12 years ago and found a similar bedside manner.
Doctor and staff were welcoming and professional. I felt they were concerned with my issues. Excellent experience @

Short wait but we'll worth it. Dr Graves was very professional, spent time listening, then conducted a through exam. He explained what he was doing and what he found as he went alnog. Very happy I found him and definitely recommend.
Verified patient
Dr. Graves gives a thorough exam, gives his opinion of what he thinks the problem is and what tests are needed to confirm the diagnosis or detect the cause of the patient concern. The x-ray department is friendly, efficient and you are back in the exam room in no time and Dr. Graves is back in there to go over the x-rays with you pointing out areas of concern or how the x-ray looks normal. You are given an option of treatments and if needed, he refers you for further testing or therapy. Dr. Graves is open and very matter of fact regarding the diagnosis and treatment. The office staff is friendly, efficient and helpful. The environment is quiet and if your problem turns out to be better handled by someone else, there are other specialists in the practice.

I never bother to leave feedback on anything but my experience with Dr. Graves was so great I felt I had to let others know. I arrived fifteen minutes before my scheduled appointment and was called in to see the doctor right at the scheduled time. The doctor took his time and listened to what I had to say. After a quick x-ray he was back going over the results 5 minutes later. I was in and out within thirty minutes and the procedure solved the issue I was having. I also must say that his staff was excellent and friendly. I could not have had a better experience. You are in great hands with Dr. Graves!
Verified patient
He was very good and was able to tell what was wrong with my knee right away. Before the MRI, I had to have fluid removed from my joint. It was very painful, to say the least, but he was very comforting and understanding of the pain to do the procedure quickly.
Dr. Graves performed a hip replacement on me 5 years ago. I was having some pain in my right knee and wanted his expert advice on the cause. I would not trust any orthopedic problems with anyone but Dr. Graves.

Good
Verified patient
I didn't get much of an impression. He was only in the room for 2 minutes of my entire 2 hour stay. Put a shot in my hand, without an actual examination, and sent me on my way.
It was quick and painless.
SUPER!!
Verified patient
Great! And I really liked ZocDoc!
Verified patient
I liked the Dr. - he was practical in his recommendations. However it's hard to have a great experience when I was waiting almost 90 minutes to see the Dr. - I work too so respecting my time would be appreciated.
...Excellent !
Would visit again - and highly recommend
Great office and staff!
It was great. Dr Graves very professional, well versed with excellent people skills.. Staff pleasant, polite and efficient. You don't see that very much these days. It was a pleasant experience.
Excellent. Shortest possible wait. Fast xray and excellent information. My only complaint is that Jesus didn't show up and heal me while I was there....Someone should look into that.
