Brett Braly's Online Review Report Card

I completely agree with the previous comment that it’s ridiculous that you only see the PA first - who was the most unhelpful medical professional I’ve heard speak to a patient. My husband has dealt with chronic lower back popping out of place for 14 years that I’ve witnessed many times putting him in tears in bed, and that has also been proven he has severe degenerative disc disease through previous x-rays, and literally all the PA said was “have you considered pain medication like Tylenol or ibuprofen?” Like, seriously? Did we just wait 2 weeks for the referral, filling out a ton of paperwork, paying the co-pay, prolonging even getting to this appointment all these years because of his high-demand job, only to be told to take an over the counter medication literally everyone has tried to an unhealthy level just to try and control pain? Why would we or anyone come into the office if Tylenol or ibuprofen actually worked? And whatever medical professional recommends either of those for chronic pain is a bonehead and absolutely not in for the long term health and longevity of the patient. The PA was dismissive and talked over us like we were wasting his time being there and rushed to just put in a high dose ibuprofen prescription at Walgreens. It truly shouldn’t be like finding a needle in a haystack in finding doctors and medical professionals that actually care about helping patients get to the root of issues or finding the most effective surgical plan for realistic pain management. Really frustrating we have to start at square one again.

Dr Braly is professional and caring. It took several months having different tests done before I actually got to meet him face to face. I am 76 and about two months post-op. He has told me what to expect and a pretty close timeline of when to expect things. I will be sending him referrals. That being said my stay at the hospital was not positive. I am a retired acute care nurse, my expectations of post-op care were not met!

Before you book an appt with Brett Braly...know that you will NOT see him on your appt. You will only see his PA. I realize this may be the way the medical industry is moving, as I've encountered this before...but it's wrong. You pay your co-pay and the insurance pays his fee...but you do no see him...seems fraudulent to me. The first visit was a complete waste of time. They want you to come back in for a second visit to actually see him...which will require a new co-pay and a new fee. The PA could not answer most of the questions we had...nor should she. She isn't the surgeon. The VERY least he could have done is come in for 5 minutes, introduce himself and answer any questions. Very disappointing after making the effort with my elderly mother to get to the appt. Disrespectful. Bad medicine and bad business. The initial paperwork was enormous...mostly legal nonsense. Says a lot. The staff has a lot to learn about patient care as well...which I won't go into. The whole experience dissolved any sense of trust we may have had in his abilities. He will not be our surgeon.

God-bless

Never saw the doctor, only a PA that told me I "needed to back to see Dr XXXX who did my previous surgery" as he was the one who did it and would know where the screw holes were ,etc. Anyone with eyes could see them on the X-ray. He basically told me that it would be "an exploratory surgery and a long long surgery". For someone who has had 44 surgeries you're not scaring me. I left in tears, no where else to turn or anyone to listen to how much excruciating pain I was in. Very disappointed in the whole place.

Don’t expect them to help you with disability paperwork because they won’t. They want payment but since they won’t help me with the paperwork when I have a proven medical condition. I cannot see them because I lost my insurance through my job (because they won’t fill out the paperwork) so I have sooner care guess what they do not accept sooner care. I’m pretty much screwed because my backs messed up can’t work and can’t get the people who said they wanted to help to help. They just want your money and you to move along. Thanks a lot.

He is gone more than he’s in. Has an MA call you back, who clearly doesn’t understand pain or care about patients. I was a great patient until my preop pain came back. Now I’m just a needy patient that needs to just quit calling. I have never talked down to someone like Brandy talked down to me today. Unnecessary and amazing she even works in healthcare. So, I’ll just keep crawling through the house because standing and walking are too painful. I thought I was so fortunate to have found Dr. Braly, but he doesn’t care. I’ve seen him in clinic once. If anyone cared, they would make patient calls. They would not leave that to an MA who likes to argue and guarantee didn’t take a single note for the chart.

I can’t review the doctor because I never had the chance. I went in there with problems concerning my lower back, a young physicians assistant seen me, was very rude and short and told me I would likely need a “360 surgery” and a MRI that she would schedule, and get back to me. That was over a year ago and I have never heard anything back. I will never go back in that place. Absolutely horrible.

Dr. Braly was the 4th Dr I had seen for my back. I felt so comfortable with him. I had a spinal fusion L4, L5, S1 and I was on the treadmill at 21/2 weeks and back on the elliptical at 3 weeks. If I had known it would be this easy, I would have done it much sooner. I lived with back pain for 20 years. Dr. Braly and all his PA's have the best bedside manner, they are friendly. and always answer ALL my crazy questions. Before surgery Dr. Braly prayed with me, I knew I had made the right decision. The hospital was great and all of their staff too. I highly 100% recommend Dr. Braly!!!
