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.

Excellent surgeon; excellent staff.
Dr. Braun is very skilled. I felt confident leaving my eyes in his care. He explained everything well and elicited my cooperation for successful surgeries. I would highly recommend him and his staff.

He did my cataract surgery about six years ago. Fantastic results and no problems. He turned my sepia world back into living color. More recently fixed a membrane problem in both eyes. I am in my seventies and see like a young man again. A fantastic and very professional doctor. I highly recommend him.

Scheduled a refraction. They gave me a glaucoma test that I didn't want and told me go to Raymond Opticians for the refraction, which they said would be covered by my insurance. Raymond had no idea what they were talking about. Meanwhile they put the entire visit in as "new patient" and charged me $611 despite the fact that I have been there a few times before. So basically, I didn't get the service I scheduled and requested and, for the service I did get and didn't want, they charged me at least 3 times the going rate for the area. Furthermore when I called to dispute the bill I was told that they classified me as a new patient because I hadn't made a visit in a few years. I reminded them that they also didn't perform the requested service and that the time elapsed between eye exams was because of COVID. They didn't care. I will pay the bill but it is the last dime they will get from me or my family.

He is great but after finally getting an appointment and completing initial exam with the nurse, I was told he does not write RX for glasses or contacts. When I made the appointment they did not ask me if I needed that. So even though I really liked him on the last visit I was their for spots on my eyes, do not make an appointment with him if you need a prescription. Very odd that he doesn't but it's true.
