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.

Dr. Graves was very understanding of my concerns. She was thorough and informative.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Graves?
I would not recommend Dr. Graves. She was gruff, did not communicate with what steps were next during the procedure, and lacked empathy for my questions. When I asked to clarify what the next step in my care should be, she told me I should be grateful my symptoms weren't worse, rather than looking into a cure that may be impossible to find. She also stated that based on my profession I should be "more tough" and placed information in my file labeling me as anxious. Her staff were similar.

Dr. Graves destroyed my wife during labor. She wouldn't get off her phone long enough provide proper care. After server tearing and continued problems 6 months later my wife still can sit without pain.
