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.

Best M.S. Dr. Ever!
Years ago I saw Dr. Brandes when his practice was in California, there were MANY sad patients at his going away party. I totally trusted the choices he made in the care of my M.S.

Best Doctor I See
Dr. Brandes is the most knowledgeable and caring doctor I have ever had (and I am 67 yrs old). He never rushes me, he listens, he cares. I cannot say enough good things about him. He is retiring and I will miss him very, very much. Top Doc!

Dr. Brandes is an awesome person and Doctor. I reccomend him to people all the time. I have never met another Doctor that cares so much about his patients and their well being. He takes time to explain thing and in a manner that you can understand. He is a good man and funny too! Outstanding bedside manner. Thank you Dr B for all the help and compassion you have provided for me!
