Patient Reviews
Dec 02, 2024
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!
