I love Dr Braunstein and her staff. Very courteous, helpful and concern about finding out what is wrong with their patients.
Dr. Braunstein is a wonderful Doctor. I always recommend her. I like Summit Health. I think her office staff is very good.
My file prior to Summit taking over was not easily accessed. I still don't know if they were found.

The staff was professional and courteous. They helped me understand everything and were very helpful. Making an appointment was simple and the staff were accommodating to my schedule. Office hours are great because I start work at 8:30am and needed something very early. Dr. Braunstein spent time with me and explained everything and did a thorough history. The EEG staff were excellent as well. I am going back for two follow up appointments and I am happy to be going there. My medication was called in same day with no issue. I am very happy with my overall experience.
iT WAS A G43
Staff are doing an excellent job.
I love Dr Braunstein
There was no need to discuss the minimal cost of my recurring prescription. Dr Braunstein has a keen eye and observes my movements as well as my affect.
That he claims I owe money but I don't think the money was taken from my Medicaid. I know Medicare paid you, but I want to know why I'm being charged when my insurance company told me I Did not have to pay for co-pays or anything with my insurance because I have Medicare as a primary and Medicaid as my secondary so I just need someone to explain to me why I owe 300 and something dollars otherwise everything is great as staff goes above and beyond to help me with any questions I may have and with my treatment thank you Jessica Cuevas ?
Extremely profession
This visit was a referral to a specialist. I have been seeing her for about 3 years satisfactorily. She has great follow thru and her staff is efficient, especially those who do specialized testing, such as this visit. A very pleasant experience, when it could have been anxiety ridden.
I had some tests done in the office by a lovely woman. Her name was Diana. She knew I was anxious and made me feel calm and comfortable.
It was very nice
My only complaint is the difficulty in reaching the emergency on call doctor. We have had issues with the prescription and Dr. Braunstein is out of office until Tuesday have been calling the on call doctor multiple times with no call back.
The doctor's great bedside manner and her. willingness to listen and share her ideas. The feeling that you got the doctor was present.
Verified patient
