My experience with Dr. Braswell was the absolute best. He looked me in the eye and listened to everything I said. He never made me feel rushed and he never talked over me. His demeanor was impeccable. He was thoughtful in his recommendations and offered several approaches to my foot (feet) problems. I left very confident that I had made the right decision in choosing Dr. Braswell. He is excellent!
