Dr. Reid Vaughn Graves, MD

I recently had my first appointment with Dr. Reid Graves of Florida Urology Partners, Saint Petersburg, and I could not be more pleased with how well everything went. Dr. Graves and the three members of his staff that I had contact with were all friendly, courteous, patient, and thoroughly professional - exactly the kind of people one hopes to encounter when dealing with medical problems. Dr. Graves was particularly impressive in the way he patiently helped me understand my situation and what could be done. As a completely satisfied patient, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Graves and Florida Urology Partners.

How many stars can you give a doctor that saves your life? He ordered an MRI to pinpoint the cancerous spot in my prostate that had been missed by two previous biopsies from other Urologists. He then successfully removed the cancerous prostate via DaVinci robotic surgery, Today was my 6 weeks follow up. I feel great and my PSA is an "undetectable" .002. In addition to being skilled and thoroughly trained Dr Graves is kind and easy to talk with.

Great improvement since my procedure. Much better quality of sleep and function , thank you Dr Graves.! Let's not forget Lisa, his assistant , she is hard working and very caring. Dr Graves has a great support from her.

I would highly recommend Dr Graves, he has excellent credentials, not only that, he explains a procedure clearly. His office staff is very organized and friendly. What really impressed me while I was recovering in the hospital, 6:30 in the morning I opened my eyes and here is Dr Graves checking on me. That is dedication to his patients.

? ? |? ? ? I can unreservedly and enthusiastically recommend urologist Dr. Reid Graves. 1. Crucially, he carefully listens to the patient. 2. He asks questions, and incorporates the patient’s answers into his thinking. 3. He reads and refers to the history/chart multiple times during the diagnosis process. 4. He and his staff perform all necessary and appropriate tests, and he explains how they apply. 5. He performs a complete urologic exam. 6. He considers and frankly explains the treatment options, benefits and associated risks. 7. He’s empathetic, accommodating, and not in the least bit arrogant. 8. He makes, and takes the time to clearly explain, his diagnosis and recommendation. 9. He brings consummate surgical skills and experience into the operating room, and works with the patient and the anaesthesiologist to obtain an optimum surgical and post-op outcome. In my case, Dr. Graves discovered and addressed an unusual BPH condition, which he was able to expertly… resolve with a green-light laser procedure, performed under spinal, rather than regular, anaesthesia. 10. I experienced no post-op pain, and virtually no bleeding. Dr. Graves prescribed a course of oxycontin, in case I needed it. His recommendation of o.t.c Alleve, however, sufficed to control any potential pain or inflammation. 11. His follow-up, and that of his staff, is superb. 12. Post-operatively, my system is functioning properly once again. 13. In short, Dr. Graves restored my health and quality of life. Lest anyone suggest this is what is to be expected of any surgeon or urologist, experience indicates otherwise. It took considerable time and effort to find Dr. Graves, whom I did not previously know from Adam. It was well worth travelling to St. Petersburg to avail myself of his skill and expertise. The proverb holds true: “All excellent things are as difficult as they are rare.” RICHARD JACKSON Sand Key, Florida ? ? |? ? ?
