Knowledgeable, professional and approachable. Unfortunately, we did not see him after the surgery as the doctors rotate.

Right to everyone! Such an amazing human. 2010 he did a semi urgent procedure and I was terrified, but his presence is immediately calming and he can really connect with / understand people.

Dr. Graham performed my double mastectomy incredibly skillfully - it looks great, and he even made a point to preserve my tattoos. On top of this he has approached me with kindness and open-mindedness, making sure I understood my procedure and treatments as they come along. I am transgender and he provided great gender affirming care with my breast cancer diagnosis.

He puts a lot of heart into his work and this also reflected on his staff, who were kind and professional while also providing me with many resources.

I still have more appointments with Dr. Graham and so far I have been very impressed and very comfortable. He has made this journey a lot easier, and I am grateful for that.

I can’t say enough good things about Doctor Graham. He shows an amazing, compassionate bedside manner. He remembers you and your family and brought a human level back to my cancer journey. He removed the tumour in my breast in March 2023 and made sure everything was explained thoroughly and precisely to my husband and I. He played my favourite music as I was falling asleep prior to surgery which created a peaceful and calm atmosphere for me, and my scar is very minimal and clean. Thank you Doctor Graham for making a tragic diagnosis an easier experience, and showing the level of care and compassion that you do, that is not something that can be taught in Medical School, he was meant to be a Doctor and a healer.
Count yourself lucky if he is your surgeon!

I’m shocked by the last review because I’ve been Dr. Grahams patient since Nov/2022, and he’s been the most incredibly patient, thoughtful listener and communicator throughout the entire process of the most horrific time in my life. I fired my first public appointed surgeon because she wanted to chop off my nipple without testing it for cancer first. I called the best implant boob doctor in Calgary and him and his colleagues all recommended Dr. Graham for breast cancer surgery. Dr. Graham does does many other surgeries, but his attention to detail, expertise AND his calm attentive demeanour, instantly assured me I’d found the right surgeon for my needs. He agreed there was no harm in testing the nipple margins FIRST to see if it was clear of cancer, which it was. He had no issue to have to go back with another surgery to remove it if it had cancer unlike the other horrible surgeon that told me vanity should be the least of my concerns! Dr. Graham respected the fact that I didn’t want to cut off a perfectly healthy nipple just because it was irritated from the tumour beneath. He spent time showing me with a pen on paper where he’d cut and how it will look after. He made me feel respected and cared for unlike the other surgeon who was too lazy to even look me in the eye and agree to test my nipple first, making it about vanity when it wasn’t. Dr. Graham did such an amazing job, no one can see my scar or any difference in my nipples! He helped ne save my nipple and gave me a beautiful result so I can forget about the nightmare I went through. He removed my nodes and the scar was tiny too. The whole surgical procedure was quick and relaxing. Before he went home after I’d woken up, he was in his regular clothes and backpack on his way, and he was caring enough to stop by my bed to ask how I was doing and how easy the surgery went and that he’ll have my nipple margin results in under 14days and was very calming about maybe needing to remove the nipple. His tone was always positive and caring. He was like the nicest uncle I ever had that I completely trusted. The whole experience was great. He never rushed talking to me and it didn’t bother me one but that he was late for a consult once because I could faintly hear he was trying to listen and talk to another patient in the next room. Sometimes patients are really scared and have lots of questions, so I understand if he needs to take extra time chatting with someone because my sitch was just a follow up. He is not the impersonal non-listening doctor the last reviewer portrayed. There was probably a miscommunication or misunderstanding. Because every one of my consults has been extremely kind, caring, attentive and informative. Exactly what you want from a doctor. Given he was highly recommended by the beast plastic surgeons in town I knew I wouldn’t be disappointed and it was true. He’s truly one of the best. It’s crazy to say this, but my surgery day was actually the most relaxing and fun time of my whole cancer situation because I got really high from the meds and I was just having such a relaxing carefree time with zero pain. Everyone was SO nice and professional. Even Dr. Grahams staff Diana she’s SUPER nice! I feel like I won the lottery finding Dr. Graham he saved my nipple and my life and didn’t hack me up or upset me. So I hope anyone reading this will feel reassured that YES him and his staff are amazing and you’re in expert hands that care. I recommend him to everyone because every woman deserves to be heard and cared for in the way he cared for me. I’m SO lucky I can move on without a scarred up hacked up breast that the other surgeon who thought I was an idiot, was going to do to me. She was wrong Dr. Graham was right, the proof is, I still have my nipple which was cancer free.

My Wife was in Rockyview General and the doctor never came to discuss options with us despite our multiple requests through the nurses. My wife suffered through tremendous pain through this time for 4 days. Very disappointed with this specific doctor , in that he saw himself as quite above discussing concerns with Patients. arrogance, entitlement.. I wonder!
