Robert D Graham Md's Online Review Report Card

Graham is awesome. He fixed my left shoulder after 2 failed surgeries by other Austin drs who are supposedly highly regarded. I am thankful that he was the first one to do my right shoulder. I haven't had issues with either since.

If you are looking for even half of a decent patient experience, this is NOT the place for you. Dr. Graham may be great (we didn't get far enough to find out!) but his new office staff is ruining his business. My parents just drove over 2 hours to a SCHEDULED appt only to be told that the practice changed over to Seton and they had dropped his appt and couldn't "fit him in"...to an appointment that was scheduled and confirmed. He even spoke with them over the phone in advance to confirm it was set for 10am today. This is completely unacceptable. Even more so for patients who have to drive hours out of town just to get there. After calling the main Seton line to discuss, even THEY were shocked. I'd give lower than a 1 star if it was possible. Leaving this review in hopes of preventing this extremely frustration experience for at least 1 person.

Wonderful staff and excellent physician's assistant who explained my X-ray and MRI articulately! Injection and meds did the trick!Thought it was odd though that on both visits, I never met the dr.

I recently underwent shoulder surgery with Dr. Robert Graham in Austin, Texas and it was a major success. After less than a week I'm already moving my arm around and was able to hit the gym for cardio, stretching, and light band work. At this rate I think 3 weeks post op I'll be back to full workouts.He debrided the AC joint and removed a severely inflamed bursa (bursitis). Initially we were thinking it was a torn rotator cuff (supraspinatus) but thankfully it ended up being much less severe of a diagnosis after he got in there with the arthroscope.Doctor Graham is extremely intelligent and is an obvious expert in his field. I'm friends with 3 very good doctors in unrelated fields and they all had rave reviews for Dr. Graham. I would absolutely recommend Robert Graham for any shoulder work you need done.

I recently had a reverse shoulder replacement surgery, new ball and socket. Dr. Graham did a great job and I recommend him highly.

Dr. Graham is a stud with shoulders. He is the best in Austin IMO.I had a shoulder injury, saw another orthopedist and their recommended PT and my shoulder continued to get worse. The first orthopedist then recommended shoulder surgery. Fortunately, I had a friend with prior shoulder complications who told me, "with shoulders, make sure you see the best." I researched the best and Dr. Graham came up. He's got an undergraduate degree from MIT and MD from Duke. He first told me he wouldn't do surgery on me because of my lack of mobility and high pain which he attributed to locked shoulder. He told me surgery with a locked shoulder would spell poor post-op results. He told me I needed to take a month and stretch through the pain to get better range of motion. I came back and my shoulder was starting to feel like it was improving, but still very, very much worse than prior to my injury.The then gave me a list of only 3 people in Austin I should see for aggressive PT (3 people, not three offices). I went to one - Michael Tillman at Tillman PT. It was 3 months of hard work that involved PT several times a day (many at home) every day, but my shoulder was back to normal again afterwards. I'm so thankful for both of them.

Although I have not met Dr Graham yet, his physician assistant Mr. Steven Griffin is outstanding. As is the office staff. IMHO the confidence of the staff says allot about the confidence of the doctor.

Nine Years After the Surgery still good.My experience with Dr. Graham has been a long one involving both shoulders. After a long period of managing my right shoulder, I went to Dr. Graham who tried a couple things and we decided on surgery. Went flawlessly and after some brief motion therapy I was good to go. My left froze up a few years later. I returned and after several fresh attempts we scheduled surgery. I had an extended trip prior and Dr. Graham agreed to a steroid shot in the joint to get me through the trip. I had had these before with great short term affects but no long term cure. Well, this was the one that worked and a month later at the consult I was good. Dr. Graham immediately cancelled the surgery and instead we went to a yearly follow up and now nothing. Lots of guys could have told me that I still needed surgery to fix the underlying issues but Dr. Graham was honest about what was needed. I am pain free and fully functioning all these years later. Great guy, great doctor.

I am scheduled to go in for surgery in December. Havard outstanding things about doctor Graham. I can tell you his medical scheduling assistant Miss Leah not sure if that's spelled correctly but is totally awesome outstanding extremely polite well knowledged on everything about the surgery and insurance needs. If my surgery goes as well as my dealings with Miss Leah it will be fantastic. not sure if that is the way she spells her name but if you are lucky enough to talk to her you will know who that is.

Dr Graham and his PA Steven came highly recommended to me by 2 different Physical Therapists, so I made an appointment to see him. I am very happy to have done so. In an unusually short period of time, I had my first visit with Steven on a Thursday followed the next week with Dr. Graham and then Reverse shoulder replacement Surgery the following Monday morning. Very little pain. My post op visit yesterday went well. Stitches removed, and a lengthy discussion with doc re phys rehab, limitations and limits. An excellent surgeon, excellent PA, and excellent staff.
