Dr. Graziani graduated from LaSalle University with a BA In biology, and received her MD from Jefferson Medical College.

She received a Clinical Investigator Development Award from the National Institutes of Health for research on rehabilitation after spinal cord injury.
As a physician in private practice, Dr. Graziani noticed the detrimental effects of increasingly stringent insurance restrictions on her patients’ access to medical care. Deciding that patients needed an advocate, she earned a law degree, graduating cum laude with a Juris Doctorate from Temple University’s James E. Beasley School of Law. Dr. Graziani is now a sought-after expert in the medical and legal aspects of catastrophic injuries and medical malpractice. She co-teaches “Anatomy for Litigators” to law students at Temple University James E. Beasley School of Law and co-teaches the award winning Continuing Legal Education series “Medicine and the Law” for attorneys. Dr. Graziani has presented at numerous legal conferences, including the Pennsylvania Bar Institute conference “The Catastrophic Injury Case: Quadriplegia, Paraplegia and Spinal Injury Cases.”
