Very attentive. Explained everything so that I was completely comfortable and totally aware of my condition. Excellent people skills.
Matthew was wonderful! He is knowledgeable and has an excellent attitude and 'bedside manner' and is very good at explaining the problem, as well as the various options for dealing with them - Excellent!
My first appointment with Dr Braswell was for consultation concerning ankle pain. Dr Braswell explained my problem by reviewing my x-rays and providing me several options to address my osteoarthritic ankle. He was affable, and made sure I understood my options, and left the next visit up to me based on what I chose to do. I would recommend Dr Braswell to anyone with foot or ankle problems.
Dr Braswell explained my options without being pushy on me making a choice. In fact he suggested I think about it and see him again in a few weeks. I appreciated his honesty.
Really a nice doctor. Very thorough
A wonderful doctor and he never hurried me in any way. I will be back if another visit if anything changes. A very nice and caring doctor.
Spent lots of time explaining the operation and what we should look for. Very thorough.
He explained everything so I could understand. We made a treatment plan and discussed my smoking.... very good Dr.!
Absolutely the best Doctor. He explains everything and I love how he talks to his phone and then in detail tells you what he said. Loving and caring 💕 Doctor.
