Jim and Dr Graves have taken care of my orthopedic needs since 2015. I have always been very pleased with their professionalism and attention to my needs. They take the time to explain everything in terms I can understand and do excellent surgeries.

I actually saw Jim Bethune, he is great, the only reason I give him five stars is because I can’t give him 10 stars. His treatment is always spot on,I love him.

Dr. Graves is an amazing doctor. He goes above and beyond, by explaining this in detail. His knowledge and experience are the best I’ve ever experienced. He’s done my total knee replacement on my right knee, and will do the other soon. I am confident is his ability and skills.

I appreciate how Dr. Graves explains throughly what procedure he is performing for you and the care being provided. He is not pushy about surgery but allows you time to think about your options and explains what may be the best approach to take care of your needs. In addition, I appreciate how he schedules timely follow-up visits to ensure you are healing properly. He has performed two knee replacement surgeries. The care I received during my surgeries and follow up visits made me feel happy and satisfied that I chose him to be my Dr.
