Get to Know Me

Dr. Evan Graber is a board-certified pediatrician who specializes in pediatric endocrinology. He has authored several papers about endocrine disorders. He is a member of the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Osteopathic Association, the Pediatric Endocrine Society and the Endocrine Society.

Why I Treat Children

I worked a lot with children throughout high school and college and I have always felt like I establish a good rapport with children and their families. I love coming to work every day.Endocrinology always interested me because it鈥檚 a field that allows a physician to follow a patient from childhood until he or she 鈥済raduates鈥 to adult medical care. It鈥檚 really important for me to be able to see these kids grow and succeed, as well as being able to form a relationship with their families. I also enjoy the problem-solving aspect of endocrinology, where I can put the pieces of the puzzle together to get a diagnosis and hopefully improve my patients鈥 quality of life. Every child is different, every family is different, and I like to be able to personalize medical care. I also think establishing a dialogue with families is very important when it comes to providing good patient care.

What I'm Passionate About

I am passionate about advocating for my patients. It鈥檚 amazing to me that in 2015, there is still a lot of misunderstanding about how to handle conditions like diabetes 鈥攎ostly from community members who might interact with kids with diabetes. They鈥檙e scared of the condition because they鈥檙e not familiar with the care involved with diabetes treatment the way the families are. I think it鈥檚 important to make people comfortable with it, and help them understand that kids with diabetes can live like everyone else, and that there are set protocols that we teach children and families 鈥 there鈥檚 nothing to be scared of. When I describe diabetes to children I explain that they鈥檙e just like everyone else, they just have to do a little 鈥渆xtra.鈥 I think it鈥檚 important to spread that message.

How I Try to Make A Difference

I try to keep the lines of communication open between the families I treat and me. I want my patients to understand why I鈥檓 doing a given test. I find that families are more willing to discuss options when they understand their care, and they appreciate when I discuss why I鈥檓 choosing a certain treatment. It results in a better relationship with the family, and that improves patient care.I also try to make myself as accessible as I can. I鈥檒l call families with test results, and will make time to see families if they need to come to the hospital to discuss things with me personally. I鈥檒l advocate for my patients with insurance companies or pharmacies to get medications cleared. I want my patient families to know that I鈥檒l work with them to make sure they get the best care possible.
