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. Braaksma is a great caring doctor. .

Makes you feel like you’re the only patient in the
Dr. Will told me everything that was going on with my knee. When he suggested more testing I asked for shots first then if things didn’t improve I would do the testing. He said no problem and did the procedure happily. Totally understood what I was coming from. I appreciated his kindness!

All around great service!
My experience was far and away the best experience I have ever had with any medical facility! I was asked to be a little early to fill out paperwork which was available and very easy to work through. I was taken to the exam room and assisted immediately! Between each phase from going to the X-Ray room to the final exam was never longer than a minute or two. I received a very confident prognosis which made perfect sense as far as what I was experiencing! I was giving what I consider very good and professional opinions on options moving forward. Checking out was also a very pleasant surprise as I received “money back” which has never happened to me before. I had put down a $200 deposit because it was a cash deal. Even with the X-Ray the total bill was only $160. I highly recommend this facility and Dr to anyone that likes fast accurate and reasonably priced service. The administration assistant was also very kind and helpful. I will most definitely be back for follow up !!

Hip replacement surgeries – Dec 30, 2023

2 1/2 weeks of constant knee pain
After reviewing xrays, Dr Braaksma felt a cortisone shot could help. My knee is pain free the very next day. Very kind and professional. Left the decision to me.
