She didn’t dismiss my symptoms like others have in the past. I felt validated and like she really cared about helping me get to the bottom of it.

I am always very happy and satisfied with my visits with Doctor Bragdon. She is always able to find a way to make my situation better than when I walked in. She is a good listener, and explains things so I can understand. I’m grateful for the care that she provides. Bye-bye

Dr Bragdon and her staff rate 10 of 10 in all areas. No wait, great contact with staff and very good briefing by Dr Bragdon about pending surgery. I dont think my visit could have gone any smoother or been more informative! .

Excellent doctor. I have had several arm and hand problems and she has provided superb service, including surgeries of the elbow and treatment ofvtrigger finger. A very professional and responsive doctor in every way.

Dr. Bragdon is an outstanding doctor! I haven’t felt this ‘listened to’ by a doc in years. All question, concerns, options for care explained at length. So thankful to have such a caring doc.
