About Thomas

“I went back to school to obtain the M.D. degree not to change what I do, but to enhance my knowledge.  In this way I was able to become a more versatile physician in tune with the medical issues facing each one of my patients.”

Specialties

Dr. Graziano has developed a new propriety method of minimally invasive bunion repair. The procedure utilizes a patented guide that he designed allowing for precise reproducible repair of the deformity.
