    I am an orthopedic surgeon with a practice focused on hip and knee surgery. My purpose is to help people of diverse backgrounds reduce joint pain and regain their desired level of physical activity. I strive to do this in the safest, most seamless way, with uncompromised long term outcomes and support. We achieve this through surgeon leadership, specialized clinical teams, and facilities dedicated to your care. This includes a robust infrastructure with the Palo Alto Medical Foundation, and a long-standing partnership with Sequoia Hospital, a CMS Five-Star Facility in regards to safety and outcomes. Recent advances in my practice include anterior total hip replacement, computer assisted surgery, patient reported outcome tracking, and improving the patient digital experience. Our group at PAMF presents on these topics at national meetings, and is now researching the intersection of joint replacement and sporting activities. I have practiced in the SF Bay Area for at least ten years, where I have performed more than 1,000 hip and knee replacements and a large volume of arthroscopic and sports medicine procedures about the knee. I graduated from Yale University where I was an All-Ivy lacrosse player, from Georgetown University School of Medicine, and completed Orthopedic Residency at Georgetown University Hospital. I also completed two fellowships, one in joint replacement surgery and the other in orthopedic sports medicine, the former at Stanford University Hospital. The SF Peninsula has been home since coming to Stanford. My wife is a practicing plastic surgeon, and we are enjoying the prospects of starting a family. Previously, I was a competitive lacrosse player with the Olympic Club of San Francisco. We now love exploring our beautiful open spaces, biking, skiing, and traveling. Dr. Graw is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Osteoarthritis.

    What is the definition of Osteoarthritis?

    Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint disorder. It is due to aging and wear and tear on a joint.

    When should I see an Osteoarthritis doctor in California, US?

    There are various reasons why you may want to see a specialist, such as: 

    • Your primary care provider recommends it. 
    • Your condition requires expert knowledge and specialized care. 
    • Your symptoms persist or worsen despite treatment. 
    • You need specialized testing or procedures. 
    • You want a second opinion.  

    What should I consider when choosing an Osteoarthritis doctor in California, US?

    It’s important to see a provider with expertise in your specific condition. Each provider profile in MediFind’s doctor database includes information on which conditions they treat, years of experience, research contributions, languages spoken, insurance plans accepted, and more.  

    How does MediFind rank Osteoarthritis doctors in California, US?

    MediFind’s rankings are based on a variety of data sources, such as the number of articles a doctor has published in medical journals, participation in clinical trials and industry conferences, as well as the number of patients that provider sees for a given condition. Note that MediFind’s provider database is not based on user reviews, and providers do not pay to be included in the database. 

    What types of insurance are accepted by Osteoarthritis doctors in California, US?

    Most profiles in MediFind’s doctor database include a list of insurance plans accepted by that provider. However, it’s a good idea to contact the provider’s office to make sure they still accept your insurance, then doublecheck by contacting your insurance plan to confirm they’re in network. 

    How can I book an appointment online with an Osteoarthritis doctor in California, US?

    MediFind offers direct scheduling for certain providers using the “Request Appointment” button on that provider’s profile. If the schedule option is not available for a provider, tap the red “Show Phone Number” button on their profile to get their contact information. If you prefer to find providers who offer online scheduling, select “Schedules online” under the “Availability” category of the filter feature on the left side of the Osteoarthritis doctor search results page. 

    Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different Osteoarthritis doctor?

    Second opinions are an opportunity to confirm a diagnosis and its root cause, learn about alternative treatment options, or simply gain peace of mind. Many people, especially those with serious diagnoses, get second opinions so they can understand all their options and make informed decisions, so don’t hesitate to get one if you have any doubts or need more information or clarification regarding your care. Note that some insurance plans require second opinions, while others don’t cover second opinions, so be sure to confirm with your insurance provider first.   

    How can I prepare for my appointment with an Osteoarthritis doctor in California, US?

    Prepare for your appointment by gathering the following items: 

    • Copies of medical records (dating back at least one year) 
    • Your medical history, including illnesses, medical conditions, surgeries, and other doctors you see 
    • Family history of disease 
    • List of current prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal remedies or supplements including names and doses 
    • Allergies to medications, food, latex, insects, etc.  
    • List of questions and concerns 
    • Your insurance card 

    You might also contact the provider’s office to see if they offer transportation or childcare services or if you’re allowed to bring a loved one for support or to take notes during your visit. 

    What questions should I ask my Osteoarthritis doctor?

    Here are some sample questions: 

    • Can you explain in simple terms what this condition is and how it’s treated? 
    • What symptoms or side effects should I watch for? 
    • What tests will be involved, and when can I expect results? 
    • Are there other specialists I need to see? 
    • What’s the best way to reach you if I have follow-up questions? 

    How can I learn about the latest clinical trials and research advances my Osteoarthritis doctor may know about?

    MediFind’s Clinical Trials tool asks you a series of questions to help you narrow down your search by health condition, age, gender, location, how far you’re willing to travel, and more. Each question you answer filters down the number of trials until you find the ones that are most relevant to you. 

    MediFind’s Latest Advances tool features summaries of recent articles published in medical journals. We use cutting-edge technology to scour medical publication databases for the latest research advancements on any given condition, then we simplify this information in a way that’s useful and easy to understand. 

    Can I filter my search to show male or female Osteoarthritis doctors in California, US?

    Look for the filter feature on the left side of the Osteoarthritis doctor search results page. Select “Female” or “Male” under the “Gender” category to search for female or male providers exclusively. If the “Any” option is selected, it will pull results for both male and female providers. 

    Can I filter my search to find an Osteoarthritis doctor that offers video calls?

    Look for the filter feature on the left-side of the Osteoarthritis doctor search results page. Select “Offers telehealth visits” under the Availability category to search for providers who offer virtual appointments (video calls).
