St. Joseph's Hospital and Health Center Hospital

Dr. Graber started out great, has remained great, and I will always be in debt of gratitude to the new life that he and his staff have given me.

Dr. Graber is a surgeon that you can count on to answer all your
questions in a complete and simple manner, He gives you the facts
up front without pulling punches about the risks or benefits.
He and his staff are there for you before and after the surgery always
getting back to you in a timely manner. It is rare to make a call to
a Doctor's office with a question or concern and have the Dr. call you back even
nights and weekends if necessary.

I met Dr. Graber yesterday for the first time and he was very nice and very informative. He was very personable and i felt very comfortable after a few minutes of him talking w/ my fiance and I. Our first meeting went better than i expected that it would and i would recommend anyone to see him. I was very impressed w/ my first appt.
His office staff was very friendly and his nurse answered all 30 of my questions and if she wasn't sure of an answer she would tell me to verify it w/ him. There was nothing that i didn't like and i look forward to going there again. Everyone there was very helpful, knowledgeable and down to earth. I had a very positive experience and i know now that he is the surgeon for me!

I have my first consult with him on Oct. 7 I hope everything goes well.

I felt very comfortable with Dr. Graber. He was very patient and straight forward with any questions I had. He tells you how it is, there is no beating around the bush with him.

I was impressed with Dr. Graber and his staff. The nurse, Donna, was fantastic. She answered all of our questions. Dr. Graber was very nice. He explained the procedure and what could happen. Also how important it was to follow his instructions. When we were done with the consult, he even asked if we wanted to have it. we both said Yes! When he first came in, he did say you're not both getting done on the same day. I liked that he was upfront and didn't pull any punches. I would highly recommend him.

My frist impression of Dr Graber was he looked younger then I though.

It haven't change he was right to the point and didn't say nonething that I didn't hear from my other dr.
They are very nice people and they answer your qustion .
Everything was ok untill I was told how much I weight.
That he don't pull any punchs.

ok

Yes that what I was told.

It is somewhat of a risk because of my size.But other then that it will be ok if I luse some weight
ok

I don't know I will have to tell you that after I have the surgery.?

my first impression of dr graber was that he was quite young. what I liked most was that he took his time and didnt rush me out of his office. He explained the operation in full details and made me feel comfortable. I knew within 10 minutes that I wanted him to preform my surgery.

I met Dr Graber at a support group meeting. I liked him alot, he seemed to be down to earth and open to answer all questions. Also I thought it was great if there was an answer he did not know then he would say us surgeons dont know or I'll check on that and get back to you. He didn't seem to sugar coat anything or to persuade anyone to have this surgery. I am going to meet him on April 22, 2003 and have him evaluate me for lap RNY which would be sometime in May or June. His nurse and secretary seemed to be most helpful on the phone as I haven't met them yet. I wish Dr Graber has had more experience than he does. He is a master laparascopic surgeon but has only done about 25 or 30 of these. I like the fact that the waiting period is only a month and that he's close to home. I have been told that he calls patients at home to check on them and does the aftercare including nutrition himself. I think he is a wise choice for me. I will update after our meeting in s couple weeks.

Dr. Graber is right to point, and tells you everything that is going on. It's so hard to put into words just how much I respect and trust him as a doctor. I know there isn't anyone better than him. His staff is also great. They called me everyday when I came home from surgery. Even Dr. Graber called, and how many doctors would do that? He tells you everything about the surgery before and after. There is nothing that you don't know before you make your decision to have it. He also did more to me besides the bypass, and had no problems, and no pain. There isn't anyone better than Dr. Graber.
