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.

Competent, Caring and Personable
I fractured and dislocated my elbow in a bicycle accident in Canada in 2018. A Canadian surgeon did a closed reduction to hold me until I could get home for surgical repair. I set up an appointment with Dr. Branham from Canada before I flew home. Normally, I would have done hours of research to find the best surgeon but I didn't have time for that. I didn't know what to expect, but Dr. Branham was an absolute delight. He was very personable and respectful. He explained everything very well and got me into surgery within a few days. I felt very cared for by him during my rehabilitation and my elbow has been great with no problems. I would definitely choose Dr. Branham again if I needed hand or elbow surgery.

Extreme Wrist Pain
Dr. Branham and his staff were excellent caregivers. From the X-Ray Technician to the nurses and the doctor I was well informed and provided with understandable explanations. Dr Branham reviewed the imaging with me and presented me with treatment and possibly surgical intervention. I was very satisfied with the situation.

Dr. Branham, hand surgeon
Both my husband and I have seen Dr. Branham for hand pain or cortisone shots for a trigger finger. He always suggests alternative options, when possible, before mentioning surgery. He is professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate, with a great “bedside manner.” I highly recommend Dr. Branham if you’re concerned about hand or wrist pain!

Excellent Communication & Care
Dr. Branham diagnosed and prioritized care for my multiple issues and addressed my concerns. He spent time answering my questions and was very thorough. My surgery and recovery have been without complication a month out. I waited years to find the right hand surgeon and I am thankful I found Dr. Branham.

Excellent experience for a medical office.
The staff is friendly, organized and efficient. Every experience I've had at TOA has been an above average medical visit. Dr Branham established rapport with me on the first visit. He is a very friendly but professional doctor. I saw him initially for carpal tunnel surgery. I've returned to him arthritis treatment in my shoulder. I will try to see Dr Branham for any needs I have that he can help me with. Excellent experience all around.

Great Doctor and Surgeon
Dr Branham has done 2 Nerve Release Surgeries on my elbow and Carpal Tunnel Surgery on each wrist. I have full confidence in his ability and he's a great surgeon. He always takes the time to listen and discuss symptoms and remedy options. He definitely allows his patients to be part of the decision and never tries to influence you to do something you're not sure about. Although he will provide his opinion on which option he would recommend, when asked. I am extremely happy with Dr Branham and highly recommend him as a doctor and surgeon.

Great surgeon and very attentive
Had carpel tunnel release surgery 3 weeks ago ..I have had a wonderful outcome after years of terrible upper arm pain and nerve pain . Dr Branham explained everything and is very attentive and personable and most of all skilled at what he does. He took care of my son years ago with a broken hand and that is why I choose him to operate on me . Great surgeon ! I would not hesitate at all to recommend him!
