about
Graybill
Martin B. Graybill, M.D. opened his office in Escondido with
his partner Henry C. Barron, M.D. in 1932. Their office was
located in downtown Escondido at 145 W. Grand Ave. Before
settling in Escondido Dr. Graybill was a worldly traveler.
He graduated from Loma Linda University medical school in
1924 and finished his internship and residency training before
working as a missionary doctor in Lake Titicaca, Peru with
his wife Ruth. He also traveled to Europe to study surgery
in Vienna and then Budapest. He returned to the United States
in 1931 during the Great Depression. In 1931 the population
in Escondido was 3,500.
By 1940, Dr. Barron had left and Dr. Flaiz, who had practiced
in Vista for a year, joined with Dr. Graybill as a partner.
The office was named Graybill Clinic. In 1950 the office moved
from 145 W. Grand Ave. to a brand new building at 250 S. Kalmia.
During the late 50’s Drs. Kellog and Loeffler joined
Dr. Graybill.
Palomar Memorial Hospital opened its doors on February 16,
1950 thanks to a community effort to get financing. Many physicians
in town, including Dr. Graybill, were instrumental in the
endeavor. Dr. Graybill was named President of the medical
staff and officially introduced the 20 physicians that comprised
Palomar Memorial Hospital’s medical staff. The hospital
has honored Dr. Graybill by naming its Graybill Auditorium
after him. |
In the 1960’s Dr. Beddoe joined the partnership along
side Dr. Graybill, Dr. Flaiz, and Dr Loeffler. Towards the
end of the 60’s Dr. Pleitez and Dr. Cole also joined
the partnership. This marked an era when physicians like
Dr. Graybill delivered babies, performed surgeries, took
turns covering the emergency room and worked as a team helping
each other with a wide variety of medical procedures. Dr.
Graybill was compassionate about his trade working long
hours was part of his daily routine. House calls were common
practice and because he spoke Spanish he was well known
in the Hispanic community as Dr. "Gabriel" that’s
as close as they could pronounce his last name. He was not
only a dedicated professional but also a humanitarian. Dr.
Graybill made monthly trips with a group of physicians to
treat patients in Mexico who other wise would not be able
to receive medical care.
In the early 70’s Dr’s Stilson and Booth joined
the group. Shortly after, Dr. Flaiz retired in 1974 and
Dr. Graybill retired in 1979. Dr. Graybill died later that
year. 2002 sparks the 70th Anniversary of Graybill Medical
Group and also its legacy to provide quality, compassionate
medical care. We are proud to continue to honor and uphold
the tradition of such an outstanding and caring individual
as Dr. Graybill.

Martin Graybill - 80th Birthday
