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.

I met Dr. Brackett in 2000 when he was my father’s surgeon. Daddy was suffering diverticulitis and required surgery according to the Georgetown Memorial Hospital guidelines. Dr. Brackett operated on Daddy no longer than 45 minutes and he survived another 4 years. Dr. Brackett’s surgical work was miraculous. His breast surgery work on my mother extended her life to 102, and she survived breast cancer living 13 years beyond Dr. Brackett’s surgery.

Dr Brackett was my surgeon when I had a recurrence of breast cancer. I thought I was going to need a bilateral mastectomy this time but he was able to do a mastectomy without reconstruction that was skin sparing. He and his nurses and admin staff are just the best! I am very pleased with my outcome and feel confident in moving forward for my next treatment steps.

Dr. B is the very best I could have ever hoped for as a surgeon. His expertise is amazing, his bedside manner is comforting, his ability to explain things both my husband & I could understand and his kindness all made for the best experience we could have had in this situation.

Dr. N. Craig Brackett III, is an excellent diagnostician. He found my silent invasive lobular carcinoma before it exited the beast tissue. Very thorough, intelligent, and patient, he's one you want in your corner when facing breast cancer. He explains pathology in detail, if you want to know. He'll help you chart your course through treatment. His practice is one of 7 National Accrediatation Program for Breast Cancer in SC. Excellent and careful doctor.
