As a patient who fiercely advocates for my health, I can be a lot for some doctors to handle. I left my former Cardiologist and choose Dr. Braunstein for her caring and sincere nature. She never assumes she already knows what your concerns are and she listens to your concerns and takes them seriously. She gives great advice about heart-healthy life choices and treats you like family. I have trusted her advice through multiple complicated pregnancies and surgeries. And, she will always send you to another specialist "just to make sure" she covers all basis of concern, if necessary. Each year, she ensures that my routine tests are completed and does her best to accommodate me to provide same-day service, as I travel from out-of-town to see her. I have recommended Dr. Braunstein to my family and friends and they have all been pleased with her professionalism, as well.

Posted by:
Dr. Braunstein's Patient
