I found out about Dr.Gragg's transition a several months ago. My condolences to his Family. I was referred to him for a root canal . He was thee most caring and experienced Dentist that I've ever encountered. He was compassionate and very caring. Because of his caring, I eventually referred my Mother. He definitely was a Blessing to the Community.

I was very sad when I heard that Dr. Gragg passed away. My parents were his patients and then my brother and I saw him as well. My dad trusted only him with all of his dental work and he was so grateful and relieved when Dr. Gragg was able to save one of his front teeth with a root canal (my dad was convinced he was going to lose the tooth). My parents both passed away several years ago but my brother and I continued to see Dr. Gragg until recently. Several years ago when I had two broken teeth at once with exposed nerves and no insurance, he still pulled the teeth and I believe only charged me for the price of one...I was really struggling financially at the time. I had seen him for all my dental needs since my early teens or so. I am going to miss seeing him...he was a caring but honest gentleman who was a darn good dentist. He remembered things about me and my family and would ask questions when I came in. I am so sorry to his loved ones that he is gone...Mr. Gragg was truly a GOOD man.
