"My first impression of Dr. Graber during my first visit was that he is professional and that he is very thorough. He told me about the entire process from start to finish. He went over the appointments I needed to go to and things that needed to be done before the surgery, described the surgery procedure itself, what the surgery is intended to do, the risks involved, and what to expect post-op. He was very open and honest with his success rate and at the time had done about 1,000 RNY's. He also stresses how important it is to go to the support group meetings before and after your surgery. rnrnHe is happy to answer any questions you might have and makes you feel that you are important to him. I never felt rushed and he took his time with me. He also has a good sense of humor which made him even more appealing to me. I left his office feeling that I had made a great decision when choosing a surgeon.rnrnHis office staff is very friendly and always able to help me out if I have a question or to check in to see whether they had all the info they needed in order to get my insurance approval. Once they had all my info they submitted it to my insurance (RMSCO) and I had an approval within 3 days. I honestly think that having an office staff that knows what the insurance company needs is essential in getting through all the red tape with the insurance companies. rnrnI would wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Graber to anyone looking for a surgeon in the Central New York area. In fact I know that there has been many patients who have traveled as many as 6 hours one way and as far away as Canada for an appointment with him each month. I feel very lucky to have him as my surgeon."
