Dr. McGraw made this entire experience as easy and informative as anyone could possibly expect!
October 18, 2022
Dr McGraw always takes time to provide feedback to assist with decision making on treatments. He answers every question with interest and honesty.
October 5, 2022
Dr. MacGraw spent more time with me than any physician I've seen in 20 years.
October 5, 2022
I didn't realize until I got home, that there were 3 blood tests that the dr ordered that were flagged and the dr didn't address them. They were pertinent to my problem too. I sent a message through the portal asking specifically about each test so I will see when they get back to me.

May 18, 2022
Sat down and explain test and treats provided in . How he was going to start checking previous diagnosis .Dr. McGraw included my husband, He was impressed, no other MD has before.
April 27, 2022
The road to my diagnosis has been long and very difficult. Having been treated by 3 previous neurologists, I am so grateful to finally have been accepted into Dr. McGraw's care. My husband and I value his expertise and opinion so much so that we have chosen to forego our retirement relocation plans to Tennessee because we are afraid to lose Dr. McGraw and Dr. Ben Gabr (Upstate Rheumatology). We can't thank them enough for the care they have provided.
February 23, 2022
Dr. McGraw listens attentively and provides thoughtful responses to my concerns and treatment plan. I appreciate his candor and trust him.
February 23, 2022
I have been to 3 neurologist since my 2019 neurological event. Two of them misdiagnosed my situation and one completely disregarded my symptoms once he decided I did not have MS. Dr. McGraw was caring, easy to talk to, explained some of the new tests he was going to order and actually ordered a lumbar puncture so that we can officially rule out MS. He also ordered a few other tests that the other doctors never mentioned. I feel like I am in very competent hands now, no matter what the tests reveal.
February 15, 2022
Overall experience was very helpful
February 9, 2022
Excellent
January 18, 2022
I am so thankful I have Dr McGraw for my doctor. He is so kind,smart and patient. I finally got a diagnosis after many years of different doctors, even through it's a hard one to except, I feel totally confident I will get the best care possible with him and his team by my side.I am also thankful for having Dr Meyers before Dr McGraw who was the one of the most thorough neroligist I have seen.
January 3, 2022
I was very nervous about meeting my new doctor prior to my appointment, but from the time I met Dr. McGraw, he put me totally at ease, and I felt like I was talking with a doctor who truly cares.
December 15, 2021
Very compassionate.
December 14, 2021
This was a consultation visit about enrolling in a trial study. Dr. McGraw was very thorough and answered all of my questions. I especially liked him taking the time to let me know he looked through my entire medical history of MS and actually apologized that I had to deal with my MS symptoms on a public stage. He acknowledged that couldn't have been easy. It was a very enjoyable visit.
December 12, 2021
A very positive first visit.
November 9, 2021
Took time to explain every aspect of a new MS drug we are considering. He even screen shared MRIs to show comparison of new lesion development
October 10, 2021
My results of scan wasn't given to me until appointment 1 1/2 months after scan back, I had messaged for results sooner. Given a diagnosis of MS alone. I would have appreciated he tell me this with a family member in the room or at least on the phone.
October 10, 2021
Dr McGraw always explains everything very well!
September 22, 2021
Dr Mcgraw listened to me and answered every single question or concern I had. He was amazing and informative.

August 23, 2021

Very good
May 11, 2021
I saw the resident Dr. Xia first and then both Dr. Xia and Dr. McGraw.I do feel that my concerns about the vaccine passport (a real idea being floated around, I didn't make it up) was sort of dismissed. Not as me being crazy or making it up but more that it was less of a worry in the grand scheme of things. Which I agree with but there wasn't a lot of concern showed generally.
May 5, 2021
Dr McGraw is wonderful!
April 14, 2021
Dr. McGraw is amazing. He's clearly very smart, but he's also a good teacher and authentically kind and caring. It was clear he'd reviewed my records before the appointment and he took time to go over them with me. He's the only doctor who has ever asked me what my goals are in terms of my symptoms and care. And because he was looking at me, and not his computer screen the whole time, he made a clinical finding none of my previous neurologists had. I almost cancelled this appointment because I've been so discouraged by my past neurological care; I'm glad I didn't. Upstate is very fortunate to have Dr. McGraw.
March 14, 2021
I have been under the care of Many Neuological Physicians over 32 Years of having MS.and Dr McGraw has been the most informative and up to date on information and care for me with this condition! I feel very confident with any procedures and suggestions that Dr. McGraw has given me. Sincerely, Cynthia Benedetto
February 23, 2021
Dr.McGraw always communicates very well whether answering questions or providing information.
February 16, 2021
Dr. McGraw very patiently listened to me read the results of one of my tests and helped me to understand the results, even though it wasn't one he ordered. I very much appreciated his assistance.
January 12, 2021
Dr. Mcgraw is clearly an outstanding doctor. He is extremely knowledge and has amazing people skills. I consider myself very lucky to have him as a doctor.
December 27, 2020
I feel this manner of communication was a very good alternative to an in office appointment.
December 23, 2020
medical terminology is Greek to me, and Deborah was patient with my ignorance and so careful in describing what her concerns were with maintaining my health.
December 13, 2020
just wish the first time meeting the Dr was in person. this was a good first meeting
December 6, 2020

November 17, 2020
Dr McGraw speaks so you can understand & listens to what I say
October 4, 2020
Dr. McGraw drew out a diagram about my MS progression and confirmed what I thought was happening. He is re-assuring with his confidence and answered all my questions. He even offered to have my prescriptions go to Upstate's new pharmacy because I am changing insurance carriers. My agent contacted Aetna to call Upstate to see if they can be added on as a primary pharmacy. I would recommend him!

Dr. McGraw is a super nice dude and seems very knowledgeable overall. I have multiple sclerosis and was diagnosed a few months ago (by a neurologist named Neil, can't spell his last name offhand and don't want to butcher it but he's a local dude and is awesome).anyway I was diagnosed with MS a few months ago. Dr. McGraw has been great. I had a couple of MRIs (I was hospitalized when I received the MS diagnosis) and am taking a drug to hopefully slow disease progress. I'm supposed to have follow up MRIs to check my condition but it isn't clear when.
June 30, 2020

Dr. MacGraw is a very caring and thoughtful doctor, describing in detail what you are to do & how to do it in layman's terms. I didn't think that you could find a replacement for Dr. Jubelt.......but you did and he is as compasionate and very knowledgeable with his patients as Dr. Jubelt.
