St. Joseph's Hospital and Health Center Hospital

I am awaiting Ohip Approval and looking forward to first consult to discover the beginning of my thinner, healthier, hopefully diabties free future.;-) A Better life.

I have not had the priviledge to meet him yet, but can't wait!!rnI now have a consult date, Tuesday March 18th, 3:30pm.rnBrandy, bless her heart called to confirm my appt. next week, and she called me back within 5 mins--they had gotten word that I was approved from OHIP--Yahoooooo 10/03/08rnWell, yesterday March 18, 3.30 pm was my consult w/Dr. Graber. His office and staff were very accomodating--like everyone else has said, chairs that fi't--sooooo nice. Lisa, RN also very nice. Lisa, was the first to mention in the consult that their program was meant to be followed to a \"T\". If you have a problem, or question, \"call\". Don't assume that you know. Thats what their staff is there for--to help and answer questions. My first impression of Dr. Graber was good!!! Infact he was funny!! rn

Great doctor!! I would NOT want to be non-compliant however: he feels like someone who would be a very stern disciplinarian if you cheated or didn't listen to his post-op advice.rnrnJUST enough arrogance to be a successful surgeon (all good surgeons need some of this!), but warm bedside manner. Two thumbs up from this patient!

Dr Graber and Lisa were very helpful in guiding through the surgery and the aftercare. The knowledge presented was understanding and honest. If anyone is looking for a surgeon then Dr Graber is the one to choose.

I met Dr. Graber on the 11th of Febuary 2008. and was very impressed by his manners and those of his staff.He already had my approval letter and took the time to explain everything to myself and husband. rnI was very impressed by the way his office staff received us and how everything was done on time I am looking forward to meeting him on the 3 and 4th of April.

i had dr fitzer, graber's partnerrnmy first impression was that he was a very effecient knowledgable guy, and a little cutie ta boot. (I am old enough to be his mother so don't get any bad thoughts) My impression of him has not changed, I think he is great. The office staff is super. I think that he and dr graber should have a better aftercare program as far as after the 8 week out part. I needed a diet program for after 8 weeks. So I called his office, spoke to his nutrtionist and the diet was taken care of. The doctors were straight forward and honest, who could ask for more. Surgically and bedside manner are both great. I like him.rn

Dr. Graber is a very nice man. When I first met him I saw how he cared for his patients when in his building / offices he had purchased expensive chairs to accomodate his patients plus alot of other things as well to aid his patients ease into a new way of life.rnrnI found him to be a compassionate, informative Doctor who emphasized before, during after surgery and stressed support groups as a must! He outlayed in full detail the risks involved in this surgery!rnrnI would rate him as of now 1 being the lowest score and 10 the highest score a 10!!!rnrnBoth surgical competence and bedside manner are very important but because of obvious reasons surgical competence takes president over bedside. Which he has both of these qualities.rnrn

What can I say about Dr. Graber? The man is a genius. He's very likeable, you instantly feel at ease with him. His staff are amazing. Everyone is pleasant, polite and smiling. The entire process was made as easy as it could be and all questions answered without hesitation. His surgical skills are top notch. I was up and around the same day, the incisions healed without incident, and I've had no complications what-so-ever. Overall, the care I received was stress-free and very competent.

I really enjoyed sitting down and speaking with Dr. Graber. He was very personable and showed sensitivity to my concerns. He went into detail on the surgery procedure and took the time to explain it, as matter of fact he drew it out. He answered my questions and even gave me answers to the question I didn't ask.

Very good bedside manner- very professional
