Dr. Robert Charles Brasch, MD

I went to the ER with a gallbladder problem. Dr Brash removed my gallbladder and a 4.0 cm stone. Surgery was performed at night with me getting to my hosp room around 11:30 pm. Dr Brash came to my room, explained the outcomes of the surgery, and then came back early the next morning. I feel so fortunate that he did my operation. His skill, sense of humor, kindness, etc, were the very best. I could not have been more pleased!

Doctor Brash is a fabulous surgeon, but bedside manner could be a bit more warm toward the patient, yet this is likely typical of most surgeons. After surgery, I felt a disconnect of sorts, but still trusted him completely with my life. My scarring was minimal, and thankfully no major problems occurred during surgery. I do remember him asking a question during the procedure that left me a bit perplexed as he did not specify particulars well enough for me to respond adequately. However, this question could have been discussed during the office visit had there been a bit more forethought. Overall, he was pleasant enough, but as with any surgical proceedure I was very scared and he did not offer the comfort, reassurance, and warmth I needed. For this reason, I gave a "moderate" rating for both bedside manner and spending enough time with me.
