I experienced a cervical spine injury from a fall. The day of the accident I was air lifted to Springfield Memorial Hospital. After assessment I was blessed that Dr Graves was on call that night. He preformed surgery that night to fuse C-spine. After surgery he advised my family that a 2nd surgery might be necessary. Even though it was a holiday weekend, when my wife told him Sunday/Monday would be the best day for my 2nd surgery he said no problem I'll assemble my team. I still have a long road to recovery but I know that Dr Graves and his staff have given me the best opportunity to recover to a somewhat normal life. From my experience I can say Dr Graves bedside manner and compassion are above and beyond the standard! He done everything possible to give me quality of life after a near fatal injury. I will sing Dr Graves praises from now until the end of time. You could not ask for better care!

I highly recommend him he is very personable. Takes time to talk through with his patients shows them everything that needs to be done or has been done to them. Very thorough follow through every aspect of the process. Oci themselves is very well qualified very caring from secretary to radiology down to their professionalspecialty they are all very good at what they do and Dr Graves is top-notch. I’ve had three surgeries with him to fix three separate issues and I have no complaints. No concerns I highly recommend him to whoever has any concerns with their spinal aspect of their life at all.

My appt time was 7:50 am but I was told it was 10:30 so I showed up at 10:30 and they still saw me. Dr.Graves was kind, professional and listened. He made sure I understood the plan for my care. He answered all my questions and genuinely cared to help me to be pain free.
