Faxton St. Luke's Health Care Hospital
Dr. Graber and his staff has always been very helpful in answering my questions and orchestrating my appointments leading up to my surgery date. Dr. Graber is insistent on the patient being successful in their weight loss and actually has a "contract" that is signed by the patient as well as himself which states that both parties will do everything necessary for this to be successful. He was very clear in explaining all of the risks of the surgery and spent as much time with me as I needed to make sure that all of my questions were answered.
Someone once said if you are looking for all warm and fuzy, Dr. Graber is not it, well they were right, instead he seems very well educated, sincere, thoughful, helpful and from what I've heard a very well respected surgen. I believe in Dr. Graber and I am will to place my life in his hands. I am so thankful that God has directed me to him. In a nutshell, Dr. Graber is wonderful.

I have my initial appointment with Dr. Graber scheduled for 1/20/04. His name came to me from an acquaintance, who had him as her surgeon and speaks very highly of him. When i called his office, his staff was professional & caring and scheduled me for their soonest available appointment. I then received their "packet" of info in the mail, which very clearly spelled out the procedure and aftercare. Can't wait to meet Dr. Graber and his staff in person.

I had my initial consult with Dr. Graber a few days ago. He did seem knowledgeable , casual, and kind of nervous.Maybe that's just the type of person he is.They're booking surgeries into April/May. Oh yeah, and they need a few more things done first that my last surgeon(out on medical leave)didn't request, so I have a few more hoops to jump through.:(
When I asked someone about Dr. Graber, They told me if you're looking for 'Warm and Fuzzy' this isn't the guy, but if you want someone who'll be there for you, watch over you, and take good care of you, this is the guy. They were right. My case was difficult as I've had VBG before. It was 6 hours for this surgery.I developed a fever in the hosp., Dr G was there at all hours, checking on me supporting me. He's a talented surgeon, and I'm GREATFUL that he was willing to help me on this, my second time around!
