Testimonials

“Dr. Grafe is one of the most comprehensive and compassionate physicians I’ve met and worked with. Many people consider orthopedic surgeons to be “hammer/nail” types; in other words, they have the expectation that what they see is “a nail” because they are “a hammer”–one diagnosis, one solution. Dr. Grafe, on the other hand, functions as a skillful and broad thinking internal medicine doc who also happens to be an impeccable surgeon. He worked with me to outline a strategy for my treatment and was able to quickly respond to new information and draft a revised strategy. Most of all, however, he also knows when to take the time to really listen and see the patient with authentic compassion. His assistant, Ashley, was also terrific–professional and kind.” -Janet Durgin
