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.

I've been a patient of Dr. Braun's for many years. I was suffering from the effects of a full body autoimmune attack. I had very painful symptoms of osteo and rheumatoid arthritis, carpel tunnel, bursitis and lichen planus. I sought help from a local rheumatologist. After several months of treatment and no improvement in my condition, I switched to Dr. Braun's care. After diagnosing my symptoms and doing X-rays she prescribed medications and the results were amazing. Gradually, my disabling pain began to go away and I even reached a point where I could start reducing my medications. I worked my way off these drugs and was pain free for the first time in years. Dr. Braun monitored my progress with regular appointments. After a year without pain, I woke up one morning with a complete relapse in my arthritis. Dr. Braun quickly and expertly put me back on the same medication that had worked so well for me before. I'm currently feeling fine and reducing my meds once more.

After many struggles with this doctor she said my Rheumatoid Arthritis has gotten better because of my full knee replacement. Anyone who knows about this disease knows it doesn't get better. That's like saying a house after a fire will just repair itself.

If you have an easy case then she'll work with you. Otherwise she won't have the time of day for you. Don't ask her questions. She hates that. Hopefully you already have a diagnosis and just need a refill. She's good at that, nothing else.

If you have choices, do not go to this doctor. She doesn't care, she is burned out and checked out . If you need help, seek it elsewhere. You have been warned.

Mediocre at best, but probably the best doctor in this clinic. Does not explain blood labs and does not write notes, resulting in confusion for the nurses and medical assistants. If you need a full body exam, go somewhere else. If you want a quick hand squeeze, you can do that here for the nice hefty price of a doctor's visit. The office also does not use any technology so good luck scheduling an appointment if you can't be on your phone 24/7. No availability for urgent appointments.

After experiencing some pain for a while I made an appointment and was able to quickly get one. I was impressed I didn't have to wait for months for my initial exam. I saw Dr. Simona Braun. She was very personable and throughout and asked a lot of questions. She was very helpful and gave an outlook into what to expect in the future in regards to my condition. I'd definitely recommend her to my friends.

Very through. First doctor and staff that ever spent two hours with me and actually came back with a diagnosis. I had less that 10 minutes in the waiting room and 5 minutes between each staff person who were doing their jobs, All were friendly an attentive. The findings kind of sucked but at least I know now what wrong and how to deal with it. I would recommend Dr Boren anytime.

I do not recommend Dr Boren. Absolutely the worst Dr I've been to. Very rude and disrespectful. There have been more than one occasion where the staff was gossiping about me that had nothing to do with my treatment and about other patients as well. I strongly suggest you go to another Dr. The environment was very unwelcoming and the staff was unprofessional. I do not trust Dr. Boren or her staff. She is a very dangerous person expecially for the elderly who are so vulnerable.
