James Graeter, MD

I was referred to Dr. Graeter by my sports med doctor after experiencing some recurring knee pain, but after this experience I won’t be back. Dr. Graeter seemed incredibly uninterested in what I had to say– taking very cursory notes, not really seeming to listen, and failing to ask questions. It would make sense that this lack of attention would lead to an incorrect diagnosis (IT Band). When I pointed out that his diagnosis did not correspond with my area of pain, he blustered about a bit, took another quick look at my knee, and gave me a few sheets of paper with hamstring and IT band stretches on them. I’m happy to do this, but it would have been helpful if he had given some details such as how often to do the stretches, for how long, how this corresponds with my injury cause and recuperation, when is it ok to start running, etc. Instead, it seemed as though his highest priority was getting out of the room and on to the next patient.
This visit was a monumental waste of my time– not only was he late in seeing me, but I feel that my knee pain has not been addressed and I will have to search for another doctor to do what Dr. Graeter should have done today.

Was referred there by my primary doctor for a foot pain and the staff was more than accommodating to get me in without an appointment and Dr. Graeter was very thorough and pleasant.

I’ve seen Dr. Graeter twice now, once for a foot injury that I thought was a stress fracture, and once for wrist pain. On both visits he was extremely prompt, kind, and thorough. He discovered that my foot injury was just a wart (which, on his advice I successfully and cheaply treated with over the counter wart remover), and I am optimistic that his advice will help me solve my wrist pain as well. I am extremely happy with Dr. Graeter and strongly recommend him.

Dr. Graeter is knowledgeable, attentive and (most importantly) conservative when it comes to his surgical practices. In the age of the total meniscectomy, Dr. Graeter breaks the mold and takes the approach that will benefit his patients both in the short and long run. Two thumbs up.

A superior Dr. Worked on both of my knees and my neck. Full knee replacement on one knee and orthoscopic cleaning on the other. Spends sufficient time with patients and answers question very clearly. Even takes the time to explain his answers.
