I only saw Dr. Branning on two occasions before getting a new physician. My concern consisted of having a breast examination without a nurse present in the room on both occasions which I felt was unethical and unnecessary for a thyroid follow up.

Dr. Branning has been my physician since 2008 ( 9 years). He is the most wonderful doctor. Anytime I've had a medical issue not only has he been proactive in my health but he also informs me of alternative ways to approach my health. His staff from the front desk to Cathy his nurse are beyond wonderful. I can not say enough about them! I'd been through a few physicians when I went in to Dr. Branning, needless to say he was a God send. Forever thankful.

Most unprofessional dr I've ever been to see. If dr Meyer is not at river oaks leave as fast as you can. Dr branning will do absolutely nothing to help you other than quiz you why you came to the clinic instead of see a primary care doc. Even if your called back if you see he's on duty leave ASAP.

He has been caring for my family for about 14 years. He is honest and concerned for the care of his patients. I would not change to any other physician.

I've used Dr B for many years and have never had any problems with his staff. He is a very caring Dr and takes the time to ask about all of my family
