2015. Dr. Braman literally saved my life from an enormous infection covering my neck and shoulder. The infection was encapsulated, could have burst and infiltrated my bloodstream.

Dr. Braman is awesome! I initially saw him to get a second opinion on a rotator cuff tear of my right shoulder. He was able to see what the other doctor missed. His bedside manner is great. He's very personable and takes the time to get to know his patients. I had major organ surgery a month after my rotator cuff repair. He took the time to understand my whole health situation to come up with a recovery plan that took my other health issues into account. He recently performed a rotator cuff repair on my left shoulder, and spent many months working on alternatives to surgery when he could have simply told me surgery was the only option at the onset. I would recommend him to anyone looking for the best of the best in Minnesota. The only negative I can state is that he does like to spend time with his patients and this causes him to be late for appointments. If you see him at Tria, I suggest the earliest morning appointment time or the first after lunch.

I have used Dr. Braman for labum tears in both shoulders. The results of the surgerys were fantastic and he also communicates how these injuries will affect y life and career as an auto mechanic.

I saw this doctor three times for my rotator cuff tear. Not only he did not give me any useful advise, he made me feel like a nuisance to be there to bother him. He did not want to understand my problem and made a judgement that was totally wrong. I do not want to recommend this doctor to anyone.

There aren't enough words to describe this wonderful surgeon. While he is a very young doc, he knows his stuff, inside and out! My diagnosis was a bit of a shock to me, and Dr. Braman took no time at all to discuss possible treatments, their outcomes, as well as his own personal opinion on what I should do. He without question has the most amazing bedside manner of any physician I've seen. I travel a good distance to see him, and he understands how hard it is for me to get to the clinic, so he makes sure that I get everything out of each and every appointment. Dr. Braman also has an exceptional talent at working with the orthopaedic residents! I can see he truly cares for these students, and wants to make them into the best surgeons around. The entire staff is so welcoming and really made me feel at ease.

This doc knows his stuff! Has no issues telling you his honest opinion, as well as informing the patient about treatment options. Dr. Braman and his staff made me feel very comfortable at the clinic, as was always available when questions regarding treatment arose. Highly recommend Dr. Braman!
