"My first impression of Dr. Graves was that he seemed kinda old..the pictures and diplomas on his office walls were ancient. Would he remember how to do the surgery right? Would he leave an instrument inside me? Well, I couldn't have picked a better surgeon! He is one of the best in the South and is well-respected among his peers and his patients. He visited me every day when I was in the hospital and I felt he treated me like a father would--told me what to do and not do, and although stern, I knew he cared. He has THE BEST staff!! The nurse always remembers little details about me, is very personable and always tells me how good I look. The dietician on staff is always upbeat too and happy to guide me in the right direction. I couldn't have picked a better surgeon or better program for my life-changing event!"
