    Dr Braunstein is an excellent physician. He takes the time to review medication goals and side effects. He welcomes questions and treats me with kindness. I trust his expertise and judgment. I was very happy to see him back to seeing patients in the clinic.

    I appreciated how thorough and prepared he was. It was obvious he took some time to review my labs and history before coming into the exam room. He was kind. Easy to talk to, and explained things in a way I could understand.

    was prescribed medication that cost me a lot of pain and $ in several ER visits. Was not explained the dangers of a possible allergic reaction or what to do (home care) to alleviate and not worsen symptoms. Was told to go to ER and they told me to check back with doctors. He provided short, curt answers to my concerns when I was in A LOT of pain due to the medication he prescribed.
