Before I went into medicine, I often found myself wanting to do better for people, for the world. I did a lot of soul-searching, but I kept coming back to medicine, and I chose pediatrics because I think pediatricians have a unique opportunity to help kids build a healthy foundation for a healthy life.One of my favorite appointments is with newborn babies and first time parents, because they have a lot of questions. As a pediatrician,I understand how important it is to walk them through what to expect and to reassure them that babies have many different things going on, and that usually it's just a variation on what's normal.I enjoy learning about marine biology, and I used to volunteer at an aquarium when I lived in Southern California.  I also studied ballet for about 25 years.I want to create a very warm, welcoming, inviting appointment so that kids and parents feel like I really spent time with them, focused on their needs. I want them to know that they are my priority. Dr. Graziani is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Diarrhea.

I started out in the engineering and IT industries and later decided to switch to medicine as it afforded me the ability to implement my longstanding interests in science and technology towards directly and meaningfully improving the lives and health of those entrusted to my care.  During a stint as a gastroenterology research coordinator--prior to starting medical school--I got to experience, firsthand, the fascinating array of pathologies and variety of practice settings (clinic, inpatient work, endoscopy) which make GI such a fun and 'hands-on' specialty, ultimately leading me to pursue a career as a gastroenterologist.  In my free time I enjoy being outdoors, spending time with my family, DIY projects and exploring my new home state of California.Diagnosing and managing gastrointestinal disease is not always straightforward due to the vague and nonspecific nature of many presenting symptoms.
