Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Friendly, compassionate yet very insightful & up to date with so much information about so many ailments & treatments. She is, hands down, the best doctor I’ve ever had.

Dr. Braid has been an absolute God send! Prior to her I received nothing but a brush off from every doctor I went to, none of them took my pain or anxiety complaints seriously and treated me as if I were a bored woman looking for pills. No tests were run and often eye contact was not even made. Dr. Braid sent me to the right specialists, followed up with me after their results came in and I finally was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis. Years of ignored pain we're now treated.

Doctor Braid is the classic example of minimalist GP. If you are looking for a basic first aid style of care then Doctor Braid is your provider. Zero encouragement for my wife and just wanted to put her out to pasture. Doctor Braid doesn't treat the "entire patient". In my 52 years I can soundly state that Doctor Braid is the worst GP that I or my wife have ever come in contact with. "BEWARE"!

I wish all doctors were like Dr. Braid. She is very professional, yet kind and easy to talk to. She stays current on the latest medical news and treatment modalities. And best of all, she respects her patients as a valuable partner in their own healthcare.

Dr Braid is the best! She is very kind, caring and thorough in her approach to diagnosis and treatment. She has helped me through some very difficult issues in the 12 years she has been my Doctor. Her staff, nurses and assistants are all personable and competent. I have never had such a high level of trust with any other doctor!

The office staff is a complete joke. I called at 7:45 hoping to talk to them about whether or I could get in that day. A person answered the phone but told me that I had to wait until the office opened. I did. I called back when the office opened to talk to the the SAME person who apparently was too lazy to talk to me before to find out that they wouldn't even accept me as a patient despite being told they were accepting new patients through their find a doctor service. 1 hour of my life wasted
