Absoutely 100% pleased with Dr. Graber and his staff!

I have only one complaint. I have only seen Dr. Graber for my initial consultation and once in the Hospital when I was readmitted for a small problem. I realize this is a large practice, but when a patient you have done surgery on comes back for a followup visit, I believe they should be seen by the physician who has done the surgery. It is almost 2 yrs since I have had my surgery and I have not seen him since February 2012.

The nurses were absolutely wonderful. I can't complain about the care one bit. I never had to ring for a nurse, someone always came in to see if I needed something. My only complaint is with the visitation. I don't feel patients should be allowed to have visitors after 8:00pm. People are in a hospital because they are sick and need rest. My roommate had visitors at 2:00am and woke me up. I couldn't get back to sleep. This should not be allowed but unfortunately there are no set visiting hour rules. On other thing - do they really need to draw blood at 3:00am?? It seemed like every 2 hours all night long someone was coming in and waking me up for something. I had no sleep the 5 days I was there.

Dr. Graber is really nice, and very supportive. I loved meeting him after my consultation, as he was very funny :) His office staff is amazing! They are always SO nice when you come for appointments or call with a question. His nursing staff is also really nice! It's a really well run practice and I would recommend him to anyone that is looking in to getting bariatric surgery. He did great with my surgery and I'm well on my way to a healthier thinner me!

My first impression of Dr. Graber was good. He is quite funny! His staff are amazing. Dr. Graber is very thorough. Care while in hospital and aftercare was great. He explained all risks. I would rate him with a 10!
Surgical competence and bedside manner were great. I didn't see him much after but his staff and hospital staff are amazing. I would do this again if I had too!

Dr. Graber was FANTASTIC. His office and support staff have always been very timely, helpful and plesant. He visited me before and after my surgery to ensure I had no concerns, and even called my GP back in Canada the same day as my surgery to let her know all was done and done well without any complications!!!!

I was St.Joesph's first bariatric patient. On a 1-10 I would rate St.Joseph's a 10 on care and all around help. During my stay they were very helpful and caring

I am so happy to have Dr William Graber as my surgeon.

Have been to his seminars and found him to be a very well spoken and informative doctor that has his patient's best interest at heart.

Very fortunate to have had Dr William Graber as my surgeon, as other patients have told me that once their surgeon started the procedure and saw they had a fatty liver and stopped the surgery. I thank my lucky stars that I had Dr Graber as he saw the condition of my fatty liver and continue the surgery. It is a miracle.

I so appreciate the fact that he had faith in my body to heal itself and with the surgery to get my liver back to being healthier. I am not sure whether if I had another surgeon, if they would have continued with the surgery or not.

Thank you Dr. William Graber, without your expertise I would not be on the road to a healthier body and longer lifespan.

Wish I had done this years ago.
