Dr branch is a very straightforward, no-nonsense guy. That being said I always feel like we're on the same side and that he's making sure I'm on the team. I'm a fan.

I do not wish to return and THE MFM doctor should not cut patient off when speaking and or tell patient what they are feeling this was a major waste of my time

Dr. Branch was patronizing. He knows his stuff but his approach isn't for me. I don't like to be treated like I'm stupid.

Dr. Branch spent way more time with me than I expected. He took the time to get my full background and explained the risks to my pregnancy and how he was going to make it as safe as possible.
