"Dr Graber was quite thorough in explaining all that could be expected if one had this surgery.rnHe went over most of the problems and/or side issues that could occur, with this surgery.rnrnHe spent a goodly amount of time trying to ensure that one understood exactly what they were about to have done.rnrnOver time so far, He is available if you have questions or need to be checked or examined.rnrnHis office staff are very curteous and try to be as helpful as they can.rnrnHe does emphasize aftercare. I have been back to New Hartford 3 times so far.rnrnI will then have to see him 4 months after that in May 2006, then 6 months out after that appt. Not sure after that?rn**rnI will give these questions more thought and update with any negative thoughts of things that happened...before and after surgery.**rnrnHe did not emphasize risk of the surgery but of course there is always risk and one had to sign many papers that one understood what the risks could possibly be.rnrnI give Dr Graber a very good rating. He was thorough and paid strict attention to making sure that I would be OK.rnrnEven with all my medical problems, Dr Graber told me that it was a \"beautiful\" surgery and that he had no problems with me, in the operating room.rnrnSurgical competence is most important, but bedside manner is also important. Dr Graber gets good marks on both accounts.rn*********************rnThe above information is just my personal impression of my surgery and care from Dr Graber and his staff. I am making no statements about what other people may experience.**********************"
