This experience was so unlike any other I had previously had with this doctor. In the past, the doctor spent a lot of time asking and answering questions ensuring I had and understood all the information I needed. This visit was more like a "slam, [...] thank you maam" I left feeling as though something was missing.

Dr. Braun and Dr. Gleed spent time with me to review my prescriptions and my response to the medications. I am very sensitive to changes in the dosage of the carbidopa/levodopa. The two doctors were very good about discussing my concerns and gave me suggestions about taking the medications.
