Dr William Graham gp
Executive summary
Multiple physicians named Dr. William Graham appear in public healthcare directories; the most consistently documented profiles are a family medicine physician in King, North Carolina (often listed as William A. or William Graham IV) and a family medicine physician in Springfield, Missouri, while a separate William Graham (DO) is listed as a general surgeon in Portland, Oregon [1] [2] [3]. Public profiles show overlapping specialties (family medicine versus general surgery), differing affiliations, and distinct patient-review footprints, so any assertion that a single “Dr. William Graham, GP” is one person is unsupported by the available reporting [1] [4] [2].
1. Who the name commonly refers to in online directories
Health- and physician-directory entries produce multiple distinct Dr. William Grahams: Healthgrades and US News list a William S. Graham practicing family medicine in Springfield, MO [5] [2], while Healthgrades, Doximity and Novant Health list a William Graham IV (William A. Graham) as a family medicine physician in King, NC with Wake Forest training noted in some profiles [1] [6] [7]. Separately, Doximity and US News show a William Graham, DO, as a general surgeon in Portland, OR affiliated with Providence hospitals [3] [4].
2. What these profiles say about specialties and experience
Profiles are consistent that the North Carolina and Missouri listings are family medicine physicians: the King, NC profile highlights more than 25 years’ experience and board certification references in Doximity/Healthgrades summaries [1] [7], while the Springfield, MO listing presents William S. Graham as a family medicine doctor affiliated with CoxHealth and Mercy Hospital Springfield [2]. The Portland listing identifies a different William Graham as a general surgeon affiliated with Providence Milwaukie and Providence Portland Medical Center [3] [4].
3. Affiliations, services and practice models reported
Some profiles note institutional affiliations and practice models: the King, NC Dr. Graham is affiliated with Novant Health Forsyth Medical Center and Lifebrite Community Hospital of Stokes [1] [6], the Springfield Dr. Graham is tied to CoxHealth and Mercy Hospital Springfield [2], and the Portland surgeon is tied to Providence hospitals [3] [4]. A separate practice website identifies a Bethesda Medical Care run by a Dr. William Graham offering a direct-primary-care/concierge model and FAA aviation medical exams, which aligns with the Springfield-area listings but needs explicit cross-verification [8] [9].
4. Patient reviews and reputation — mixed but generally positive where quantified
Patient-review metrics vary by listing: Healthgrades shows mixed patient comments for the Springfield/other listing including complaints about bedside manner but also endorsement for aviation medical exams, while the King, NC profiles register very high “likelihood to recommend” scores and glowing clinic reviews on Novant and Sharecare [5] [1] [10] [11]. US News and site snippets repeatedly describe Dr. William A. Graham as “highly recommended” and experienced in managing chronic conditions such as hypertension and diabetes [6].
5. Key ambiguity: the same name, different credentials and locations
Reporting demonstrates clear name collisions: at least three clinically distinct profiles (family medicine in NC, family medicine in MO, general surgery in OR) share the same name in national directories, and some entries use suffixes (IV, middle initial) or degree designations (MD vs DO) to distinguish them [1] [2] [3]. Public data in these sources do not resolve whether local practice websites or patient reviews refer to the same legal individual, and no single authoritative source in the provided reporting explicitly consolidates these listings into one identity [4] [8].
6. How to verify which Dr. William Graham is the GP sought
To determine which “Dr. William Graham, GP” is intended, consult the specific practice address, NPI number or hospital affiliation shown on the provider’s profile pages and cross-check state licensing or hospital directories—Novant, US News, Healthgrades and Doximity list affiliations and clinic locations that can be matched to licensing databases [1] [6] [2] [3]. The reporting provided here gives affiliation and specialty clues but cannot, by itself, confirm a single canonical Dr. William Graham across all mentions; further verification with state medical boards or the clinics listed is necessary [1] [2].
