Erik M Gracer, MD

This place sucks. We wanted for 1 hour and told we had to leave as I had to pick my other children from day care
They do not care, finally after waiting for an hour of scheduled appointment we were greeted by a nurse rather than a doctor
Please avoid this place at any cost

This place got better than before. The back office staff are excellent! Especially May and Janlie, they are courteous and helpful. Thumbs up to Dr. Gracer! He’s awesome!

I actually found Dr. Erik Gracer through Unilocal and after reading the reviews and seeing that he was close to my home it was an easy decision to make an appointment. I typically visit the doctor only when I need to and my last check up /​physical was about 3 years ago. So I figured I was due for a check up and blood exam to make sure things looked good.
Dr. Gracer’s office is easy to locate with plenty of parking and the receptionist and his medical assistants were all very polite and helpful. The initial new patient paperwork was much easier than I recall in previous scenarios and I only waited about 10 minutes before I was seen.
Dr. Gracer was a total pro. Since it has been a few years since I saw a doctor, I had a list of questions and he was very thorough in his review and feedback. Dr. Gracer made me feel totally comfortable and he spent plenty of time answering all of my questions which was rare with my past doctors who were always in a hurry. I highly recommend Dr. Gracer and this was by far the best experience I’ve had on a doctor visit! I will be going back next year for my check up!

Dr. Gracer is very knowledgeable in his craft. I like him and his staff because when they said they will return my call with my concerns they really called me back in less than a day, 3 times with different issues! Dr. Gracer also tried to accommodate me in such a short notice. I had important paperwork that were due for school and work and Dr. Gracer took a moment from his busy schedule to fill my requests.

I have been a patient of Dr. Gracer, for over 10 years. He is very thorough and is very knowledgable. You can ask him almost anything, and he more than likely will know the answer. He is great at finding the problem.

Dr. Erik Gracer is a good doctor. Very knowledgable. Just too far of a drive for me from Concord so I had to change doctor.
Otherwise I would have kept him as my Dr. I would recommend him to anyone.

Dr. Gracer is the greatest. Caring, straightforward, compassionate with a down to earth demeanor that makes me feel like I’m visiting with a small town family physician. He has decisively diagnosed and with appropriate levels of aggression treated my health issues over the past 10 years, always keeping the big picture of my overall health in focus. Even though I come from 25 miles away, the drive is well worth the piece of mind I gain knowing my well being is in Dr. Gracer’s capable and caring hands.

Pleasant Staff and a doctor who listens to everything you say and cares. He doesn’t rush & listens to everything you say and gives you all the info, advice and suggestions he can. Very pleasant and prompt and gives you the right treatment and prescription’s. I’m glad I chose him as a family doctor and he definitely deserves a 5 star.

I started with Dr. Gracer when he was in Lafayette. I have followed him to San Ramon and now to his new location at Bollinger Canyon. Despite his office moving farther and farther from where I live, I stick with him because he is one of the best doctors I have ever had. Never rushes through an exam, makes sure all issues are addressed, straight forward advice.

When I couldn’t get in to see my regular doctor for SEVERE back pain and numbness in my foot, I called Dr. Gracer’s office and they were able to get me in same day. As he was the second doctor I saw regarding this condition, I was thrilled that he said it WAS a pinched nerve, gave me prescriptions for a steroid and a pain killer, and sent me on my way. His staff was pleasant and made for a pleasant experience.

My husband loves Dr. Gracer! Great person, great staff.

Dr. Erik Gracer is a gem!
My family and I have been the Doctor’s patients almost from the opening of his practice.
The Doctor and his staff are modern in their techniques, but «old-​fashioned» regarding their focus on listening, being caring, kind and compassionate — difficult attributes to find in today’s medical environment.
Finally, the Doctor is very responsive to requests for appointments, referrals and prescriptions.

Dr. Gracer is extremely professional and courteous. His staff was able to fit me in right away when I needed a last minute appointment and I liked that he really took the time to listen to what was going on with me. I didn’t feel rushed — I am more than happy with my experience with him, and I’d definitely recommend him as a great family doctor.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Gracer’s for about 10 years now and couldn’t be more happy with the level of care and attention I have received. I have had to be seen at his office for everything from scrapes, to bad knees, allergies, asthma, and the usual colds and the flu over the years. Every visit is great because he remembers me, asks the right questions, and honestly provides his advice. He is very straight forward with his thoughts, his advice, and his suggested treatment options. And I honestly feel that Dr. Gracer goes out of his way to be sure he understands what is ailing you and what can be done to make you better.
The office staff is also very friendly and responsive to phone calls and questions. I can always find an appointment time if I need one and I never feel rushed or hurried with the staff or with Dr. Gracer. He and his office staff have also been really great in working with my insurance provider (which can be quite difficult) to make sure my prescriptions are managed and charged correctly.
If you are looking for a very competent, friendly, and qualified family practice doctor, I couldn’t recommend anyone more.

I was a patient of Dr. Erik’s father, Dr. Richard Gracer. When Dr. Richard stopped taking my insurance, I switched over to Dr. Erik… It was the best move I could have made! Dr. Erik is the most caring, considerate, polite dr. that I’ve ever seen. He makes me feel like he’s glad I came in… in other words, my problem is legitimate, not in my head. I have NEVER felt rushed when talking with Dr. Erik. He makes me feel that he is truly listening to, and digesting, all of the information I give him. He always explains WHY he is sending me for a test, giving me a Rx, etc. And, he ALWAYS has a «Plan B». If this doesn’t work, then we’ll try that… or…Let’s try this before going to that. Recently, I went in for severely swollen feet & ankles during a heat spell, but I KNEW the heat wasn’t the source of my swelling. To make a long story short, I ended up being severely anemic. Through a series of tests, it was determined that my internal bleeding was gynocological. Dr. Erik personally called a GI dr. & my OB-​GYN. Within a few days I was receiving iron infusions, & within a few weeks I had a hysterectomy. For the first time in a loooong time, I feel so much better! Granted, this wasn’t a catostrophic illness, but the quickness w/​which Dr. Erik responded and followed through, makes me feel very confident in his care should something more severe arise. I do want to note that Dr. Erik has a very calm, low-​key personality, But this should never be misconstrued as being inattentive. Clearly, as seen through my experience, Dr. Gracer can «turn up the gears» when neccessary. Dr. Erik’s calm, caring nature and excellent medical skills are truly a gift to his patients!

I met Dr. Gracer about 15 years ago in San Ramon where he shared a practice with his father, Dr. Richard Gracer. His father had been immensely helpful to me in minimizing the symptoms of CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome). I continued with Dr. Erik when his father decided to practice only out of their Lafayette office. As my symptoms got worse, he told me that we should arrange a sleep study to test for apnea. That was done and it turned out I had severe sleep apnea. It took awhile to get me set up on the correct CPAP machine and medications with Dr. MacDannald through the Walnut Creek Sleep Center, but it was worth it. In my view, Dr. Erik saved my life. He has since helped me through acute and chronic bronchitis and honed in on the correct medications to relieve a debilitatingly painful pinched nerve. I live in Walnut Creek and consider it a blessing that he is as close as San Ramon. Here’s hoping he never moves or retires until I have moved on to my next assignment.

He is a wonderful and thorough doctor. Very warm and caring as well as professional. Doesn’t make me feel rushed or like I am being a nuisance. Office staff is helpful too.
Warning Erik Gracer is NOT Richard Gracer! Totally different doctor!
