Excellent! Took time explaining and very thorough.
Dr Braig needs to realize that his patient is his client. Not some bully Comp Adjuster. Promise any working at the Docks in this area I will tell them to find another practice that doesn't change opinion after comp idiot insults your patient. Never will I step foot on your property again. Even with my neck surgeon being there. Wish I could give 100 negative stars. Why workmen's comp is so messed up. The truth just bends you over and the lie will pay you for life. Great job on cementing this. Hope SIGNAL Insurance hooks you up cause I'm not and I'm live here. Idiots!
Love going to see Dr. Braig, he's very encouraging and tells me how great I'm doing.

Dr Zachary Braig is professional and personable, which is the best possible combination. I interacted with three of his staff members, and they were all kind, caring, and attentive. It was a really marvelous experience with a really good team, and I would not hesitate to return or to recommend Dr Braig to others.
