"Coming from a large extended Italian family, Dr. Graziano learned from an early age that lending a helping hand extended not only to family, but also to friends, neighbors and strangers. He brings that same care and compassion to his practice at Paramount Medical. Dr. Graziano knew early on that he wanted to spend his career caring for people. While attending CUNY- Brooklyn College, where he earned his B.S. in Biology, Dr. Graziano obtained his Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) certification and joined one of Brooklyn’s volunteer ambulance squads. Through his association with the ambulance squad, he volunteered at several city hospitals emergency departments and also rode with the paramedics out of St. Claire’s Hospital, assisting the midnight shifts covering New York City’s Times Square district. He earned his medical degree at New York Medical College. During his clinical years, he had the opportunity to treat a wide variety of patients—from the wealthy Upper East Side at Lenox Hill hospital to the poor and indigent at Metropolitan Hospital in East Harlem. From his experience, he was drawn to the personal, close contact that Internal Medicine offered. Dr. Graziano’s practice is focused on the one-to-one connection between patient and physician. His patients are treated like family. He offers the highest level of service and support so that no matter what medical conditions they may be struggling with, they never have to manage their care alone. Dr. Graziano and his wife reside in Oakton where he and his wife raised two boys and took full advantage of the excellent academic institutions in Virginia. Now empty nesters, they spend time pampering “Andy” their 8 year old Beagle/Bassett hound mix from the Fairfax Humane Society."
