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.
Dr. Branstetter was so sweet. Outstanding bedside manner and skilled at giving injections.

I believe this surgeon understands the "business" that she is in. Pleasant, efficient and thorough. Did not suggest options (in my opinion) just to generate tests or procedures.

I loved that the provider showed a knee model when talking about the reason I was there. She was very thorough in her explanation, offered options which allowed me to make a decision on care. She didn't mention that my weight may be contributing to my issue unlike another provider at a different clinic. She was very pleasant, down to earth.
