Dr Graves and his staff are amazing. He did my TKR on my left knee in May. He did a fantastic job. I'm very happy with my recovery. His staff has been extremely helpful and friendly even tho I've had a million questions! Dr Graves will be performing my TKR on my right knee the end of August. I have full confidence this surgery will go well and that I will be well cared for. I highly recommend Dr Graves ! Thank you all for taking sure good care of me !!!

Dr Graves treated my left shoulder rotator cuff. I thought I would need surgery. After examining the X-ray he said no treatment was necessary. He recommended an injection in the shoulder. After the injection there was instant relief. Truly amazing!
Staff was very attentive and knowledgeable.
Highly recommend Dr Graves and his staff.

I had both knees replaced three months apart and it went very well. Dr Graves is a great doctor but more than that a great human. The staff is first class and fun to work with. Excellent experience. I hope I never have to go back for any other joint that wears out but if one does Dr Graves is da man.
