What else would you like to say about your experience?
Dr. Earl Gene Draves has been my PCP for a number of years. He is kind, considerate, courteous and asks appropriate questions regarding any health issues I may be experiencing. He also listens intently when I speak and does not rush me through my visit. He is thorough in his examination and fact-finding, and extremely knowledgeable in his diagnosis and treatment plans.
I especially appreciate that I feel comfortable enough with him to participate in and contribute to my own diagnoses and treatment options without being made to feel unqualified or uneducated in the medical profession.
Dr. Draves is an awesome person and an excellent physician who cares about his patients' well-being. He is willing to take the time to listen, and utilize the resources needed to discover any potential health issue, and provide an appropriate treatment plan, when needed. I am very grateful that he is my primary care physician.

I was worried about finding a new Dr. when he retired, mainly due to the medications I am on monthly, and a that he would be able to treat me the way Dr would, not like I was a number or I didn't matter, but that has not been the case!!!! Dr. Gene has been great!!!! I am very pleased with the office and staff!!!

Dr. Draves is the best doctor I have had in a long time. He always responds to my chart whenever I have a question, no matter how dumb it is. He responds and does not respond like I'm an idiot. He responds with respect and He's the best doctor ever. And I wish that those doctors in St. Louis City could be as good as he is.
