I've had rheumatoid arthritis since I was a child. When we moved to Eugene from Los Angeles, I never thought I would have a rheumatologist that could match those at UCLA. I've now been seeing Dr. Braun for more than 10 years. She is kind, thorough, professional, and keeps up to date on new treatments. I don't understand why people say she's cold. I find her warm and pleasant and am grateful to be one of her patients.

I'm a retired RN and have seen Dr. Braun several times. She always listens to me and answers my questions in a professional manner. I have worked with MDs all my nursing career and she .is professional and thorough. Some of the best doctors I've worked with haven't been "warm and fuzzy". People must read evaluations and ask around to get accurate info on an MD. Her staff is great too.

Dr. Braun is cold and uncaring. Everything is black and white for her. Humans aren't made out of a mold and illnesses are not black and white. I would not recommend Dr. Braun to my worst enemy.

Dr. Braun goes through the motions but doesn't listen. She does not want you to ask questions and seems angry when your opinion differs from her own. My experience with her was upsetting and traumatic. I'm glad I found a specialist that was able to diagnose me and not just give me meds without a clear diagnosis. However, Dr. Braun had no trouble charging me monthly for taking my blood and my money. If she had done the necessary tests, she would have come up with the right diagnosis. She just didn't want to. Lazy doctor.

I was looking for Dr. Braun's phone number, which I misplaced, when I ran across this site. I can't believe the 3.4 star rating. What planet are these patients from? Dr, Braun is terrific. She is thorough, listens to you, and is genuinely concerned about you as a patient. I sent my wife to her, who has osteoporosis, who thinks the same. Dr. Braun is one of the best doctors in Eugene.

Dr Braun is a gem. She takes the time to listen to you and get to know you. She is very thorough and competent. I would recommend her unconditionally.
