Admittedly I've not seen her since about 2018 but I am shocked at the reviews on here. We found Dr Graves informative, patient and very knowledgeable. She helped me find a pregnancy safe epilepsy drug. She answered a myriad of questions that we had about the risk factors for epileptic women in pregnancy, making sure we understood and providing us with great resources. She even spotted signs that I had undiagnosed depression and anxiety, for which I have since sought treatment. I now have 2 healthy babies in no small part due to her excellent care.

I cannot believe this doctor is still allowed to practice to be honest. A friend of mine had a terrible experience with her and so when I had no choice about who I saw, I was dreading it being Dr Graves and it was! I have autism and so had my carer with me as I struggle with new situations and new doctors. I forget what I need to say and so I was hoping as that's on my notes, she'd at least be ok with me. She turned up half an hour late to my 9am appointment and I was first on the list. She didn't say much and wasn't very friendly. She appeared to not have looked at my notes and acted like I was a problem for her. She didn't introduce herself to me and that was already an issue. She made me feel on edge and questioned why I'd been referred. She acted like I was making up my symptoms as well. She then agree to do the tests she had been asked although she was like a grumpy toddler in a tantrum and didn't really want to do them. She didn't explain to me what they were for and what she was doing so I felt very uncomfortable, violated and uncared for. I have never had such a bad experience at an appointment ever. I don't know what happens next as she is a hospital doctor people seem to think they are better than some doctors. So they believe them and not me. I don't want to go back and see her ever again.

Having had problems for close to a year, and waiting for almost 4 months for an appointment with a neurologist, it's fair to say my hopes were high when I met with Dr Graves. They didn't last long. My entire appointment lasted less than 20 minutes, including a full history and exam. She barely listened when we went over my issues, her manner was anything but comforting, and the neuro exam was conducted at light speed. I felt utterly unheard, disregarded, and that she did not care at all about actually trying to help me. She even joked that the physio who had referred me was not a real doctor, and that they get excited when they think they find a problem, and were usually wrong. How was this helpful? It's fair to say I cried when I got home, feeling that I had spent 4 months hoping for answers and instead got a kick out of the door, with absolutely no path forward. Do not see this doctor if you have any choice in the matter. Truly terrible, and lacking any compassion and empathy for her patients.

I am a carer for my husband who has Parkinson's and decided to transfer from Addenbrookes hospital to Hinchingbrooke,as the travel was becoming difficult.We saw Dr.Graves on several occasions and quickly came to the conclusion that it was a big mistake.Her attitude was awful..she didn't appear to be listening to us and we felt she didn't give us full attention.We needed to get my husband off a tablet that was causing him to have a sugar addiction,but we're told to just decrease the dosage gradually.I tried to do this over a year,with no success. When I tried to get an appointment with her ,we were told we were only allowed one every 6 months.We had to wait until ours was due and I explained we needed more regular appointments and had to insist on another,while the tablet situation was ongoing.She very reluctantly gave us one and in the interim we kept trying to reduce the tablet.On our final appointment with Dr.Graves,we explained that we were unable to reduce the tablet , without making my husband's condition worse and what could we do?She gave us the lmpression that she wasn't interested and shrugged her shoulders.I insisted she must be able to help as we felt we were being fobbed off.She said she'd transfer us to Addenbrookes to see the Neurologist there washing her hands of us.We feel sorry for her other patients,as her attitude is shocking ,no compassion or willingness to listen.On the positive side the consultant at Addenbrookes,sorted us out straight away,giving my husband patches ,as he reduces the medication.Its been a total success and I asked him why we hadn't been offered them by Dr Graves and he said he didn't know!!! Had she done her job properly,we wouldn't have spent a whole year trying to do it for ourselves,and saved us from a stressful situation.

I have seen many neurology consultants yet Dr Tracey Graves is without a doubt the worst I've seen. She refuses to listen and has made her mind up everytime before I walk into her room. I am transferring to a new hospital 44 miles away rather than have to endure any more eye rolling
