Patient Reviews
Sep 12, 2024
Dr. Braaksma is an amazing and caring doctor! I have been in his care since 2022 and can say with honestly that he is one of the most caring, understanding, and intelligent doctors I’ve ever had. I have chronic pain in my back, and I first became a patient of his when I had sciatica and herniated disc. I came in for an office visit, he ordered necessary imaging, and then recommended a microdiscectomy. Since I was going to school at the time, I only had about two weeks to help my pain, and Dr. Braaksma got my surgery was scheduled within that week!!! I highly recommend him to everyone!
