Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Don't waste your time!
After sitting in the room for 30 to 40 minutes, he comes in and never even looked at my MRI! We talked and he informed me that nothing was wrong with my cervical spine, it was just age related. 5 months forward, went to another surgeon who actually LOOKED at my MRI, had muti-level disc surgery. I am doing much better now.Moving forward, 1 year after my initial appointment, with Dr Graham, they say I owe them more money.So, save your money and time for a doctor that will make time to actually look at your MRI. Especially since most of them require you to have one in hand for your appointment.

Dr. Graham replaced a disc in my neck. I had been suffering with neck pain for about 5 years before being referred to Dr. Graham. I am now one day post op and I already have feeling in my left arm and finger tips that I had been missing for several years. Also, I have no pain down my shoulder blades or up into my head that I had also been suffering with for several years. ONE DAY CHANGED ALL OF THAT! The only pain I have now is just the pain resulting from having surgery, and it’s not even as bad as the pain I had been experiencing on a daily basis for so many years. In a few more days I will see how my neck feels. I am so grateful to Dr. Graham! Without question he is a skilled surgeon. He doesn’t laugh a lot or tell knock knock jokes because he is very serious about helping his patients and getting the best outcome possible. I am so thrilled with my results thus far and if I need any other spinal surgeries I will definitely be calling on Dr. Graham once again. ~ S. Medina (Jan 2020)

I rue the day I let this man convince me that his surgery on my neck would eliminate my spinal stenosis. It didn't; it became worse. Today, both legs deliver constant pain and my left forearm and hand are numb. In a follow-up visit, he told me he only did the surgery to keep my condition from becoming worse. The man is an incompetent fraud. Steer clear of him.

Dr. Graham is a very good surgeon and I would recommend him to anyone. He was very through in his explanation of my condition realistic about the outcome of surgery. I have had very good results and if I ever need any other surgery, he will be my doctor of choice.

Dr. Graham performed neck surgery on me in 2012 - absolutely the best thing in the world - no more pain. He also did my back surgery in 2018 and I am very happy with the results. Dr. Graham is compassionate and does everything possible to relieve his patients of the pain they are experiencing and if possible provides permanent solutions.

Dr. Graham was thorough when explaining my options and I was very impressed by him and his staff. I found in him a caring, knowledgeable doctor with years of experience and education that he puts to use in a practical manner to care for his patients. I highly recommend him and would give 10 stars if I could! He explained everything in a very clear and concise manner and was very informative regarding my back issues. I was also impressed with the professionalism of Ashley in the office.

Got a cervical fusion from Dr. Graham today and thought his bedside manner was great. He came in and explained the whole procedure to my wife and even came out to the waiting room and told her when it was over, how I did, and what extra stuff was done while he was in there. He may not tell knock knock jokes, but he knows his stuff and is a professional.

I've been to a lot of back doctors over the years and pretty much know how this goes. However, Dr. Graham is Completely inept and as cavalier as a Doctor could be. Dr. Graham could never remember or previous conversations or that he had even ordered over $10,000.00 worth of tests, even though it was written in his notes. His bedside demeanor is the epitomy of old school physician rudeness and he never had time to discuss details.

I was referred to Dr. Graham by another doctor. I was in excruciating pain and he and his staff got me in right away. They scheduled surgery as soon as possible. I am three weeks out from the surgery. Dr. Graham is a fantastic surgeon with a great bedside manner. I would highly recommend him as your surgeon!

Horrible bedside manner. Very short and abrupt. He doesn't fully explain what's going on with you. He also doesn't review your history or fully know what's going on with you before or during your appointment. Each visit he told me something different. One visit I needed surgery the next one I didn't but nothing had changed. I think it's time for him to hang up his hat. Please get a second opinion as I am doing as I would not trust this doctor to do any procedure on me.

I had back surgery that DR. Michael Graham performed I had a double fusion . I donated my own blood and bone . He is direct and to the point . His nurse at the time was Brookes she was simply amazing ! Since the surgery which has been at least 10 years ago , I still feel amazing ! No more issues and I was bone to bone . I recommend him to others still to this day .He changed my life. I can not say enough about him . Good work Michael Graham !

Does not seem to care about his patients at all. Does not explain anything. Barely spend any time with me. I would never recommend him to anyone.

I had my L4-L5 fusion in 2000. 16 years later I still feel GREAT!!! Dr. Graham told me what to expect. He held nothing back!!! It was the BEST thing I ever did (besides having a hysterectomy!)!! I have had ZERO problems since Dr. Graham operated! Get it while you're young enough to heal properly. Thank you, thank you, thank you Dr. Graham!!! Awesome job!!!!!

I researched Dr. Graham after I was referred to him by my pain doctor and he warned me that he didn't smile a lot, not the friendliest but he was the best at what he did! I was reluctant after I read some reviews but kept in mind that reviews are personal opinion. I went to see him and was expecting the worst. And to my relief he was very pleasant and yes he did smile! I had my surgery two weeks ago and I AM THE HAPPIEST GIRL in the WORLD! He is an excellent Doctor! I recommend him highly!!!

Will not recommend to anyone, this Dr. only shows interest if it's in it for him. If you don't need any surgery he will not care. He was in and out in 5 min. did not care to even explain. If you are not going to need any surgery he will not give you the time or the day.
