About Dr. Graves
Dr. Graves is the founder and medical director
of Ultimate Vitality Centers, PLC of Philadelphia Pennsylvania.
Ultimate Vitality is an anti-aging specialty practice
that focuses on hormone imbalances, weight management
and therapies to enhance wellness, inner vitality and
longevity. Dr. Graves received his degree in medicine
from Temple University School of Medicine in 1977. He
completed two specialties, one in Internal Medicine in
1980 from Columbia University/Harlem Hospital Medical
Center in New York City and another in Dermatology at
the Skin and Cancer Center at Temple University Medical
Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Dr. Graves has practiced
dermatology for 24 years in Philadelphia and Internal
Medicine prior to that while pursuing some additional
study in nutrition at Columbia's Institute of Clinical
Nutrition. As a result of his clinical practice, Dr. Graves
began to turn his focus on achieving inward health and
beauty after noting the impact of a multiplicity of chronic
diseases seen in his practice population with traditional
treatment approaches which were only palliative and ones
which did not improve the patient's quality of life. This
caused him to seek and ultimately implement strategies
that targeted the achievement of wellness and disease
prevention.
Dermatology with the adjunct of Aesthetic
Medicine which is inclusive of botox treatments, dermal
fillers, laser hair removal and rejuvenation has demonstrated
and taught Dr. Graves that a major catalyst to one's outer
beauty and physical appearance is directly facilitated
by inward wellness and health. This evolution is what
stimulated Dr. Graves to pursue additional study in the
area of Integrative and Anti- Aging Medicine.
Dr. Graves is a diplomat in Anti-Aging/Regenerative
Medicine with the American Board of Anti-Aging Regenerative
Medicine (ABAARM). He is also a member of the American
Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine. and has completed a fellowship
in Anti-Aging, Functional, and Regenerative Medicine.
The fellowship program emphasizes a thorough competency
in the areas of nutrition, fitness, stress reduction,
bio-identical hormone replacement and even spirituality
as a necessary basis for optimal health. Fellows obtain
a rigorous understanding of the biochemistry and physiology
of chronic disease. Additionally, Dr. Graves is an avid
researcher of emerging scientifically-validated treatment
protocols.
The founding of Ultimate Vitality Centers,
PLC reflects Dr.Graves passion to create and implement
an integrated anti-aging and wellness program that helps
patients achieve the "inner wellness" and "outer
glow" that is evidence of excellent health.
