“He is absolutely the best specialist I have ever seen. His calm disposition and caring bedside manner, coupled with explanations that show his vast knowledge while at the same time translating to layman's terms so its more understandable makes Dr. Braaksma the one pleasant ray of light in an otherwise painful and tiresome injury. I appreciated that he took into consideration my wish to avoid surgery and did all he could until there was no other option. When I did agree to surgery, he was the most patient doctor I've ever seen, and talked me through the procedure so many times that I felt the most comfortable I have ever felt before surgery. A++ doctor!”
