    I believe Dr. Braun to be an Exceptional Ophthalmologist. He's caring, very clear on instructions, puts his patients at ease and speaks to you throughout the procedure he's conducting to make sure you are comfortable. I absolutely Trust him and would definitely recommend him to family and friends.

    I found him almost unfriendly. Very mechanical in his bedside manner. He made me feel like my visit was an imposition. He definitely disapproved of my preferred use of medications.
