  • [redacted] She made sure the strong points were clear, ie: follow up with vital signs and change in medications. She also scheduled me with PA in 8 weeks for follow up and to call as needed. My disease is quite rare and I'm so grateful to have her on my team. She answered my questions thoroughly and guided me through impending surgery. Best, [redacted]

    2026-05-29

  • Dr. Gracin was AMAZING! I had started avoiding going to the doctor because I have had mostly bad experiences, but Dr. Gracin restored my faith. She listens deeply and is a thought PARTNER. She believed what I had to say about my personal experience in my body and used it to guide next steps thoughtfully and with great care. As someone who has a "complicated" constellation of "rare" health challenges, I actually felt understood, which is rare. As a very sensitive patient I am used to either being dismissed or injured by aggressive and intense tests and procedures, but Dr. Gracin made me feel safe by taking a less is more approach and starting with the safest and gentlest possible options first. I feel confident in my care for the first time in a very long time. Dr. Gracin seems to understand that is the most important part of the "medicine" and health, because her actions reflect it. So grateful!

    2026-05-21

  • Dr Gracin is awesome. She is strict and kind at the same time.

    2026-05-20

  • Would like more direction on holistic/natural and specific lifestyle recommendations rather than pharmaceutical medications.

    2026-04-27

  • It would be nice if the Doctor listened to my concerns and all my symptoms before deciding that she knew best. If a patient has valid concerns about a serious underdiagnosed disease, why some form of testing wouldn't be done so the patient knows for sure.

    2026-04-26

  • Dr. Gracin, explains things in a wonderful way and makes me feel confident that the right things are being handled for my healthcare

    2026-01-22

  • This provider dismissed me, cut me off mid sentence, did not believe my own reporting about my behavior, and judged me based on my appearance. She has made comments about my weight and how many steps I get in in the past (even when I was experiencing significantly disabling injuries and paralysis). I have been working to increase my mobility and shared at my appointment two years ago that I was proud of myself for waking over 10,000 steps during a vacation to another climate. During this visit, she immediately asked how many steps I got in, and when I answered on a good day (I have a dynamic disability), I can manage between 6-10k steps but it causes me pain, she cut me off and said "Well my staff tell me you can do 10,000 steps on vacation, so I guess you can walk when you want to, huh?" I tried to explain about my disability and chronic illness but she didn't listen. At the end of the appointment, she felt my legs and said I was wearing compression socks so it didn't matter. I said no, I'm not because they inhibit my muscles from engaging fully. She said, "Oh, well I saw your stiff neck and I figured you never walked! Well then you're a rockstar, you're my hero," implying that she didn't believe my reporting on my own mobility (which we have discussed over years), and judged my activity level based my neck appearance. My neck is stiff because I have an occipital bone to C2 upper cervical spine fusion and have limited range of motion. She has known this for 9 years. [redacted]

    2026-01-19

    2025-10-26

  • I wish she would stop blaming everything on my POTs diagnosis. Not everything is due to pots. Chest pain can be more than just pots. I wanted a greater work up done and she refused and blamed it on pots now I have a bigger issue going on
