Hands down the best medical care I have ever received in my life. It is very refreshing to interact with a doctor who actually remembers the details of your condition as well as how it is affecting you and your life. She retains an empathy that seems to have disappeared in medicine. It would be a sad day if she ever left the profession- unless it was to teach new doctors how to use their brains and their heart at the same time. That would benefit her profession as a whole.
She really took the time to listen to your concerns and willing to discuss it with you.Great job.

This was my first visit with Tawnie Braaten. I admit I wasn't expecting much as it seems doctors have become distant and on out-pilot. Take the vitals, ask a few questions, order tests and wish you a good day as they walk out the door, mostly without ever actually looking at or really listening to you. Dr. Braaten was happy, energetic and didn't make me feel rushed. It was refreshing to have an actual detailed discussion. She listened, explained and included me in on decisions. I am hopeful that she will be a great help with my health care.

She's amazing! I wish it was easier to get in for a appointment, but it's because she is SO Great!
Dr. Braaten has been very thorough in her care of my health. Because of her care and a referral to an endocrinologist it led to finding that I had hyperparathyroidism. Dr. Braaten's skill as a physician certainly made a difference in my life.

Wonderful experience with Dr. Braaten. She listens to me, answers my questions and takes time explaining anything I should know. I appreciate her warm approach and expertise.
She is very detailed oriented like myself. Between the two of us, we figured out that my Immunotherapy for my cancer triggered fibromyalgia. We accomplished what we set out to do by figuring out my immunotherapy-related issues. I'm incredibly grateful for a diagnosis because I am now moving forward with my PCP to find solutions. I'm incredibly grateful that Dr. Braaten is also invested in helping cancer patients!!
Great information and good enerfy
Dr. Braaten is an amazing provider who answers all my questions with ease and really makes it seem like she cares. She is out of network for my insurance and I will continue to pay out of pocket due to how comfortable she makes me feel in my care.
The doctor didn't seemed rushed, made a lot of eye contact, seemed very empathetic, and was thorough
Care was good but my blood draw requires retesting of original values flagged as out of the standard range. I would expect some feedback on flagged areas of concern and possible solutions which may help resolve problems and bring blood values closer to the standard.
Very good experience
I was very impressed with Dr. Braaten
Dr Braatan is wonderful. She takes time to answer all questions and really cares about me personally.
My Doctor is the best at what she dose. I appreciate all she dose and how hard she works for me. I got the best Rheumatologist. Thank you for your help and great care you give me. I'm where I am today with the help you and your staff give me every time I'm there. I appreciate you and your staff.
We really like Dr. Tawnie
Dr. Braaten is THE BEST and it would be near impossible to get me to leave her care. Some of the support staff (lack of communication, etc.) make it difficult and I'm sometimes disappointed. Dr. Braaten is the sole reason I stay with this clinic. I don't want to find a different Rheum provider and I hope some of these things can be addressed to improve the experience.
Dr Braaten is probably the only Rheumatologist in the state who has an uderstanding of Immunotherapy's odd side effect of joint pain. While the science is still so new, I appreciate her focus and dedication dedication to finding answers and looking for treatments. Her attention to detail, and connecting dots, is amazing!
I enjoy seeing Dr. Braaten and having her on my team to manage symptoms. I feel like she cares about me and my concerns and is eager to include me in decision making. I never question if she takes my concern seriously.
I understand that my issues are medically induced, and there isn't enough information yet, as immunotherapy to treat cancer is still relatively new. Dr. Braaten's enthusiasm about trying to find answers - even though there is no guarantee - is very contagious. I trust that she won't dismiss anything, even though it doesn't make sense at the the time. I'm really excited to work with her - even if we don't find answers.
Dr. Braaten is the best rheumatologist I've seen in 13 years and 8 different states. Even if I move across the country I'll fly back just to see her. She genuinely cares about my quality of life.
Excellent doctor. Above and beyond what is expected.
I always say if she moves, I'm moving with her! Tawnie saved my life.
Very personable and nice affect. Mentioned my case is high risk for malignancies. Did not check lymph nodes listened to lungs...Just sat and talked for 15 minutes. Checked hands for swelling. Talked about follow up for next time. I compare her with my previous Practioner and maybe I shouldn't because I keep getting disappointed
Dr. Braaten is fantastic and the best doctor I have ever had. She is extremely thorough and follows up on all my issues. I cannot ask for any more. Thank you Dr. Braaten!
Dr. Braaten is always amazing at discussing my concerns with me, and explaining if there is a treatment change. She explains diagnoses really well and makes sure I understand everything.

Not only would I recommend Dr. Braaten... but I HAVE recommended her on at least 2 occasions and will any time someone asks about rheumatology. She is the BEST!
Dr. Bratten was very professional, caring and informative
I had previously had a very good relationship with Dr. Woosley so I was somewhat concerned about changing doctors. I felt like Dr. Braaten was very concerned about my well being and I felt she values me more than just a patient. I was extremely grateful for her care and concern for my well being. I found her to be kind and compassionate.

very good
This was the first encounter with the physician. I look forward to developing a relationship
Dr. Braaten listens intently to my concerns and questions and is very willing to help.
Doctor was very responsive and helpful with my questions
good
excellent
I truly love my provider! She cares about just me it feel like! She gives me the best care!
Dr. Braaten is the best rheumatologist I've had through 12 years and 6 states. Just feeling better than I have in years isn't enough for her, she works toward making me as close to symptom free as I can possibly be, which has never happened before.
Dr. Braaten is wonderful!
outstanding
very good
My doctor is great! Highly recommend.
Dr Braaten is amazing!
Dr. Braaten was so kind and caring. she explained everything she was doing and why, we discussed my symptoms at length and what they mean. through the whole appointment I felt like she listened to me and understood my worries and did everything she could to ease them. can't recommend her enough!
excellent experience with Dr Braaton
Dr. Braaten and Dr. Jaffe have done more for me than any other doctors. I was sorry to see Dr. Jaffe leave but to have Dr. Braaten come back and pick me up as a patient was incredible. She is an absolute blessing for me. When she was here, before leaving for New York, she saved my life. My wife was extremely worried for my health when Dr. Braaten left, but Dr. Jaffe exceeded all our expectations. Now with Dr. Braaten back, she is picking up where she left off. She is extremely thorough and understanding. She isn't the type to just concentrate solely on the rheumatology aspect of my diagnosis and treatment while depending on others to take care of any other issues she sees. Know matter what the problem is, I can count on her to follow-up with the right treatment or referral as necessary. She will always make sure that I am satisfied with the solution and follow-up on any issues that I have. DR. TAWNIE BRAATEN IS FANTASTIC! My wife and I are extremely thankful that she is once again, my doctor.

great
once we started the visit, it was great! the doctor is knowledgable, caring, and friendly. A good experience overall!
The actually appointment was great
I cannot overestimate the level of trust I have in Dr Braatens competence and intelligence. These traits combined with the her amazingly positive and genuinely sympathetic attitude make her the best doctor I have ever met
I am really impressed with Dr. Braaten. She is very friendly, very thorough, and takes time to listen and to explain everything. I would recommend her to anyone needing a rheumatologist.
dr Bratten very involved with my case and has been following my tests and scans being proactive in getting them done as quickly as possible
These questions were answered with with the doctor in mind. She was excellent.
I have and will continue to highly recommend Dr. Braaten. She is very knowledgeable and expresses genuine concern for my well being.
