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.

Saved my life
I had bariatric surgery in 2017 to correct perforated ulcer. The surgery is essentially a gastric bypass. For 5 years I slowly starved and got down to 117 pounds. Dr Braithwaite took my case and corrected the huge mistake another surgeon made by hooking me up wrong. I owe Dr Braithwaite my life. I am incredibly grateful for his expertise and skill.

Performed bariatric sleeve on me 5.5 years ago. Lost 75 lbs..only gained 10 back. Just the friendliest most personable doctor/surgeon I've ever met..but more importantly he did an excellent job.

10:00am appointment means you will be seen at 12:30-1pm......RIDICULOUS! PATIENTS TIME IS VALUABLE TOO! No one should have to sit and wait for over 2 hours to see a doctor especially WHEN THEY HAVE AN APPOINTMENT! DO THEY KNOW WHAT THE WORD APPOINTMENT MEANS....IT MEANS YOU WILL BE SEEN AT OR AROUND THE TIME OF THE TIME SCHEDULED.....NOT 2 OR 3 HOURS LATER. They obviously do not know how to plan, schedule, and run an efficient doctor office. do NOT use this office!

Dr. Braithwaite is an excellent surgeon. He is a life saver and has helped me so much! He has great bed side manners and he is a very caring doctor. He is honest and is very intelligent. I would not be here if it wasn't for Dr. Braithwaite. Despite a few complication I had before seeing Dr. Braithwaite, I am so happy I selected him to be my my surgeon. I have never met a surgeon who is so caring. I highly recommend Dr. Braithwaite. His team and nurses are great. Thank You Dr. Braithwaite!

I met Dr. Brathwaite June 2004 after suffering 6 mo. of complications from Gastric by-pass performed by another surgeon. The Night I met Dr. Brathwaite I knew I met "My Personal Angel". Dr. Brathwaite is the nicest, kindest, most caring and compassionate doctor. From his Associates to his Staff . When you are a patient of Dr. Brathwaite you feel instantly at peace that everything is going to be ok. I can't say enough about him except that he saved my life and i will forever be grateful to him.
