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.

Fantastic customer experience
I’ve been going to VPW and Dr. Braun for several years now and have been consistently impressed with every aspect. Scheduling and keeping to the schedule, interactions with care providers in bone health, mammogram and GYN check-ups, and general friendliness have been great. So far advanced from the old days of sitting for hours (and losing half a day!) in a waiting room and then an exam room before being seen. Plus Dr. Braun is so approachable and engaged - I always feel like we’ve had a conversation rather than just an exchange of information and data. Great practice and I highly recommend!

Dr Braun is the best of the best
Dr Braun has been my doctor for over 23 years. She has worked with me from my late 30’s post-childbirth through menopause. I respect her positive approach no matter the situation . She also listens to my issues and concerns and reacts appropriately. She has gone above and beyond for me. I consider Dr Braun the best of the best ; and, she is now my daughter’s doctor as well! I hope to keep her as my doc for as long as she practices!
