I met Dr. Graber and his staff today, for my consultation. I've had a 4hr. drive home and all I can say is wow!rnrnFirst off his staff are amazing. He has to have the friendliest most helpful staff ever! It's the first time at another Dr's office (aside from my family Dr.) that I felt they actually cared about me and my health. His staff are truly there for you and to help you!rnrnSecondly, Dr. Graber is a very delightful man and very likeable. I was extremely nervous going into this appointment, I was seriously worried for nothing!rnrnAfter meeting and consulting with Dr. Graber, I am entirely at ease and very ready to start my \"new life.\" I seriously feel that I am in very capable hands. I will admit at first I didn't know how to \"take\" Dr. Graber, but after talking to him for a lengthly period, I am very happy to have him as my surgeon I know for certain I am in good - no - great hands! He is the perfect mix of personalities for his job - he made it clear that the surgery is a tool for weight loss, not an answer! and that there are complications and one is and could be death, so it is very important to do your post-op care and listen to them!rnrnSome things that really put me at ease were: (1) His office chairs are for \"BIG\" people, it sounds awful but after so many years of :::squeeeeezing::: into waiting room chairs these were heavenly! My legs didn't even touch the sides! (THANK YOU DR. GRABER)...(2) His \"triage type\" nurse was amazing, she had so many answers for me, she was amazingly easy to talk to and so down to earth...(3) Dr. Graber is the perfect mix of \"to the point\" and \"easy going\", I didn't leave feeling like he was a total jerk, and I didn't leave feeling like he was a total joke who didn't take is seriously, I am confident!...(4) The hospital where the surgery happens is not a teaching hospital, I know it sounds awful cause' everyone has to learn, I'm just not comfortable with them learning on me :SrnrnI could go on forever, but I will stop now until I have my surgery and experience his bed side manner.
The first time I meet Dr. Graber he was very encouraging. He knew exactly why I wanted to have the surgery. I'm sure most doctors are supportive but my family and friends were not . So it felt good that he was. He put me at ease about the surgery and me recovery. His staff was very nice and welcoming. They answered all my questions every time I called. I called alot. The thing I wasn't crazy about was that I didn't see him much after my surgery. I saw his PA three times and she sat and talked with me about going home and my diet. I wouldn't change a thing all went well. I am happy and healthy. That makes me very appreciative.
My First appointment was Oct 30th 2007. I met with Lisa his nurse first and then the doctor. It was a very positive expierience for me. All his staff were great! Both Lisa and Dr Graber were very pleasent and answered all my questions. I have to say that going into the appointment I was very nervous about the whole thing but after talking with them I felt much better. Still nervous but not as much. I think having a better idea of the whole process helps alot. I know this may sound silly but after sitting in Doctor office chairs over the years I felt a great deal of relief after sitting in one of Dr Grabers wonderfully comfortable chairs. It was built just for people like me. It's a little thing but knowing that they had prepared for the comfort of people my size made me feel they really did care.
My first impression of Dr. Graber was great he was very informative and his staff is wonderful. I would have liked to hear more about the after care I will be needing, and overall I would say he is a good surgion and has a good bedside manner.
I have yet to meet Dr Graber. I have my consult scheduled for Oct.8th.rnrnI met Dr Graber on October 8th and I thought he was GREAT!!rnI would highly recommend Dr Graber to anyone, he was very informative, confident, friendly and has a great sense of humour. He answered all my questions patiently and doesn't rush me out the door. He really helped put my mind at ease over the whole procedure.rn
I met with Dr. Graber on 10/02/07. First off his staff is very helpful and they put NO pressure on you! Then I met with Dr. Graber, he has a good sense of humor. He made me feel at ease right away. He let me know upfront that I was under no pressure, but so far nothing has worked and that is why I was there. There is no doubt about it, he puts his patients first. How awesome is that. I am looking forward to having my surgery in December.
Dr. Graber was great. His office staff is even greater. They are helpful, patient and courteous. His skill was a surgeon was amazing! Very minimal pain and I felt great in no time. His bed-side manner is very short and to the point but overall he was great to have and he is very informative in the very short amount of time he does see you.
