Dr. Bram Newman, MD

1st interaction. He ordered an MRI. They offered ZERO information about my condition. I had to teach myself about the condition and how to address it.2nd interaction. He refused to see me when I reached out to him. Hippocratic oath? Don't worry about that. I had to figure out things on my own. I saved a copy of his portal message.3rd interaction. I asked him, a physiatrist, trained in helping patients regain physical function and overcome impairments, to develop a plan for my spine. He flew off the handle, yelled at me, and insulted me in person and in his after visit summary. He enjoys looking at my online records and belittling me because I had the audacity to ask for a 2nd opinion (that had absolutely nothing to do with him).Another provider was shocked by our last portal conversation; shocked both at what Dr. Newman said and the way he said it.He is completely unprofessional and, other than ordering my original MRI, has done absolutely nothing to help me.

Very explanatory, attentive, validating, and personable.

'Firstly, I would like to say that whoever left Dr. Newman the one star review clearly is projecting their own issues but they are in no way accurate. I am a chronic rare disease patient and have easily seen over 70 doctors over the past 15 years. I don't give positive reviews to doctors very often, because honestly a really exceptional one is like a needle in a haystack. Of all the doctors I have seen maybe half a dozen or so fall into a category of would even want to see again. I am giving Dr.Bram Newman 5 stars because he was timely, attentive, personable, a good listener, validated my concerns, did a physical exam, was thorough, took detailed notes, was inquisitive, included me in my care, thoughtful, exceptionally knowledgeable in his field as well as had a vast knowledge of possible treatment modalities outside of his specialty, and he made every attempt to ensure proper testing was ordered and that I had a clear understanding of where to go from here. He even immediately consult

Listened fully. Took the time to explain my diagnosis in detail and explained my options and addressed my questions fully.
