      Dr.Brayer is the best doctor. I've told him problems like I want to quit smoking and he's actually helped me more than my PCP has. He has told me things that make me feel good about myself, and if more Dr's were like him there would not be drug problems. He cares very much and I've never had a Dr. That cares. Most Drs I go to for years and they can't even remember my name. I hope you treat him well and keep him available for me. I wish he was a regular Dr that I could see regularly

      Since this appointment, I have RAVED to half dozen people as to the excellence of care that I receive from Dr. Brayer! I had a long list of issues to discuss at this visit and Doc took the time to review each of them with me. He gave me his professional opinion on several areas regarding my health, and while I disagree with getting vaccines & tend to shy away from most medical services, Dr. Brayer respected my decisions and never made me feel pressured to do things his way. I am so truly grateful for such a wonderful Doctor! It took me so many years to find a good one!
