Nicely surprised with the amount of time spent with Dr. Braswell in this post op visit. We had good conversation discussing the risks of my healing incision and potential swelling. I appreciate the effort and time to ensure I understood his instructions.

Very informative, easy to understand and adaptive between medical terms and layman’s terminology. Will definitely be selecting him for upcoming procedures and surgery. Great extra-tech and nurse. Your appointment system and communication regarding appointments and payments is broken and requires significant improvement. Being contacted less than 24 hours before an appointment to change my appointment due to your office had me calling and trying to convince staff to reschedule was challenging and required in excess of 4 phone calls and over 30 minutes!
