Dr. Braunstein I hope you are doing well. I wanted to express my gratitude for the latest medication you prescribed for me. I have been feeling much better over the past few days. I can't quite put my finger on it, but it seems to have acted as a catalyst, awakening my senses, enhancing my thinking, and making me feel more alive. I experience this in a subtle yet profound way. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I truly enjoy the professionalism that your office staff provides always kind and polite.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Dr. Braunstein has treated me and my mother who was 100+ years old.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The care and time he took, and his concern about us both is hard to imagine could exist in 2025, but it does in this doctor. He follows up and looked at us as individuals who mattered: even though my mom was in failing health, he felt each week and day mattered, and his medical and emotional support meant the world to us. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Thank you to Dr. B and his staff for everything.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I have been a patient of Dr. Braunstein for more than two decades.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Despite having PPO private insurance, I prefer to continue my care with him.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] He is the kind of physician you wish to be sick, just to go and see him, due to his thorough approach to patient care.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I feel healthier now than I did in my twenties.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I am immensely thankful to Dr. Braunstein for his unwavering dedication and care for both myself and my family. read more

This is a hard review and similar to another I read (which I completely agree with). First, I have been seeing Dr. Braunstein for years now and he's absolutely fantastic. He's seriously one of the best. The problem is he no longer accepts insurance. Actually, that's not completely true. He will bill insurance but only as an out-of-network provider for PPO plans. That in itself almost makes me give him one star. However, I actually spoke to him about it a few times and I understand why he is doing it (at least his side of the issue). It doesn't fix the issue where I can't use my insurance and I don't have the money to pay out of pocket. Nonetheless, if you can afford to pay out of pocket then he is a fantastic doctor. read more

If you are looking for a compassionate, professional , ethical and extraordinary doctor then Marc Braunstein is the doctor who you should see. He takes his time and speaks to you about your health issues and the mental emotions you are experiencing. Dr. Braunstein doesn't rush you so he can see more patients and make more money. He spends time with each patient because he truly cares .His goal is to determine what is the cause of the ailment by requesting the necessary tests to determine the correct medical treatment plan for YOU. Does your current doctor give out his personal contact number? Dr. Braunstein will not only answer you but he will call you back within a reasonable time. There's only one Physician for me and after a visit, you will conclude he is the only Doctor for YOU . Your only regret will be that you didn't go to him sooner. read more

As a new patient of Dr. Braunstein's, I am very happy to share my personal experience with everyone. He came highly recommended by trusted network. I had been to other Dr.'s offices prior to this and my instinct told me to go see him. The office was very welcoming and reception very attentive. After the technicians/nurses got me set up with check in I was pleasantly greeted by Dr. Mark. He was very thorough in his evaluation and had immediate recommendations. His attention to detail and ability to make complex information both relatable & understandable was great. He is very down to earth and a tremendously knowledgeable. I can see why so many across LA and OC have Dr. Braunstein as their personal doctor. I am thankful for finding this professional service to make the very best version of me! read more

I had a Doctors appointment with Dr.Braunstein today. Tuesday March 29,2022. He went over some of my health issues. And suggested quite a bit of solutions. He is an amazing Doctor. And always talks and reviews everything. From my small health issues. How's my work schedule fitting in with my home life. Mark Braunstein is by far the Best Doctor ever. read more

Dr. Braunstein has provided amazing care for my husband and I for several years. He really takes the time to get to know you, respects any concerns and comes up with solutions that fit your lifestyle. He is extremely knowledgeable and always up to date on newest and best practices. He's also hilarious. 10/10 recommend. read more

I went to Dr. Braunstein only because he accepts my insurance. So I didn't know what to expect. So I want to relate my experience for anyone else who is considering seeing the excellent physician: Dr. Braunstein is the first doctor I've met who does not have a God complex. Instead he has a Hippocrates complex- in other words he's all about helping and healing you. He has a great disposition and spends an enormous amount of time with each patient, carefully listening (his assistant takes notes on an ipad so nothing is missed) and then examining and diagnosing. He is jovial and approachable and I didn't feel reticent about talking to him about anything. Oh, and he also diagnosed and cured my illness after several other doctors were unable to. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. He is what every physician should strive to be. read more

I went to Mark Braunstein because my previous doctors could not help me. I was sick and tired of being in pain. At first I was very skeptical about seeing a new doctor, but then I found Doctor Braunstein. Doctor Braunstein is very friendly and funny person. You feel at ease with him right away. He is a true healer. He will spend as much time as necessary and run whatever tests necessary to figure out what's wrong. He does complete and thorough examinations. He listens to and answers all your questions. In addition to addressing the usual problems one would see a family doctor for, Doctor Braunstein also very knowledgeable in many other areas of medicine. As a matter of fact he prescribed a medication to heal my gastritis where as the GI doctor I saw didn't even mention this medication to me. Furthermore, he figured out what was bothering my shoulder and took care of it with one shot, where as the Sports Med Doc wouldn't even take an x-ray to see what was happening. I am so happy he is my doctor. With him in my corner, I feel I can tackle any medical problems coming my way. If I could give him more than five stars, believe me I would. read more

Fantastic doctor who gives extra attention to each of his patients. During my visit he took additional time to diagnose a problem that I had for two years and provided solutions for my disease that three other. MDs were unable to diagnose. He gives his cell phone number out and always gets right back to you when you text or call him. You can call him the day you are sick and he will make every effort to see you right away. Dr Braunstein does require cash or credit card for the visit but always submits your bill to your insurance company so that you may be reimbursed for your visit by the insurance company. read more

My name is Amber Walkov, I'm a former patient of Dr Braunstein, and he literally saved my life. I was 267 lbs when I first saw him in mid 2014, and he told me "you're going to be 140 lbs in a year" I thought he was crazy. I've been overweight since I was 5 years old. I accepted a long time ago that I was going to be fat for the rest of my life, and that's just the way it is. He prescribed me Phentermine and Topamax, and for the first time in my life, I lost weight. He monitored me closely (he insisted I come back and see him every two weeks to a month), and he did something no doctor, or person in general, had ever done. He not only BELIEVED I could lose weight, he HELPED ME DO IT. I lost 80 lbs on phentermine and topamax. Even though it didn't end up being a long term solution (I had weight loss surgery one week ago today), I would never be where I am today, or 50 years from now, without Dr Braunstein. He started me on the path, made me think "maybe I can be a healthy weight", and I know because he did, I will live a much longer, healthier, and HAPPIER life, because of him. Thank you Mark Braunstein, you will be my hero for the rest of my life. read more

Smart, compassionate, engaged, interested, thourough and concerned.. you'd be hard pressed to find a better doctor.

I was a patient of Dr Braunstein in the past and loved him! But just tried to make a new appointment with his office and now they don't accept insurance and are CASH ONLY..... and $225.00 for an office visit??? That's insane!! That sucks because i really liked going to him. Something seems off here. read more

Dr. Braunstein is a top notch doctor. He is one of the best if not the best physician I have had. Willing to spend lots of time understanding your needs as a patient and shows that he very interested in your concerns as well as working with you to help you become your own doctor so to speak meaning teaching you and educating you to take control of your health. He works with you to inform you about your health conditions and what is needed to manage, treat and alleviate medical issues. He makes suggestions and recommendations where there is leeway, but will use great diagnostics and his expereince in medicine to treat you and deliver quality outcomes. Great bedside manner. Truly cares 110% about his patients. read more

The "so-called" billing lady at this office is a crook! Overcharges per visit up front and WILL refuse to see an unwell patient ... insured patient with a reputable ins company if you don't pay up! SAD! Folks, go somewhere else! read more

One of the best physicians I've ever been treated by....and I've been treated MANY times. Lol If you go here, you won't be disappointed. read more

I've been recommending Dr. Braunstein to everyone I know. Great doctor! Very caring, empathetic, and knowledgable and I never feel rushed out. Easy to get appointments and very flexible hours. Only thing is get there EARLY or you might be waiting for awhile. read more

The one of the greatest doctors around. My last two doctors retired one after another. I found Dr. Braunstein and have recommended him to everyone I know. He listens, and is open to alternative medicine and does not push prescription drugs. Prior negative review for Dr. B. must be from people shopping for drugs. read more

He gave me an extremely dangerous drug with no warnings. I had stiff joints and should have stopped, but didn't realize. If you must see him, make him give you an explanation of the side effects. read more

I just met with Dr.Braunstein for the first time. Yes it was quite a wait, however, it was worth it! I've never met such a sweet and caring Doctor. He actually sat down and was asking a lot of questions, checking for many things and overall really took the time to get to know me as a patient and not just treat me like another number. Finally after so many years found my family doctor!!!! read more

Absolutely LOVELY doctor. Great at history taking and is super compassionate. Very thorough and personable. Recommending to all of my friends. It's very obvious that he loves what he does and truly cares about his patients. read more

I have know Dr. Braunstein for many years, and he is the real deal. Very concern and caring person. He is some one to trust as your doctor. read more

Dr. Braunstein is an awesome doctor. He truly cares about your health and your well being.

Dr. Braunstein is a very professional and personable health care provider. In a profession where money rules it is refreshing to come upon a doctor that cares and has human bedside manners. As a health care professional myself I would recommend Dr. Braunstein throughly. read more

Geez, the people in this office are so rude. Ask them a question why they didn't do something that was asked of them and they get defensive and threaten to not take care of your situation (or do it in a timely manner). Was literally told "You don't want to get into it with me" by their receptionist when I'm just asking what's going on. They're immediately hostile about doing their job. Finally told by angry receptionist that she will try and take care of my situation today, but I'm not feeling great about that happening. Their primary focus does NOT seem to be their patients. If they can't get my info over to my new doctor by tomorrow night, I'm filing an official complaint with the medical board. This is just ridiculous. read more

Very compassionate and explains everything clearly without being condescending. Great doctor, I'm glad I found him. :)

Dr. Braunstein also came highly recommended to me. I agree with most of these other review's as to how thorough the Dr. was on my physical. He had me get extensive blood work, and X-rays to follow. After 2 weeks I became concerned that I hadn't heard back about my results. A month went by, I called again & again, and was assured I'd get a call back from the Doctor. It has now been 6 weeks, and 19 calls later, and I can't seem to get past the receptionist. The stress of not knowing is causing me unbelievable Anxiety, and terrible Insomnia. I don't live in the area, and can't simply swing by in person. No follow up appointment was ever scheduled and the office has blatently refused my follow up calls. I have never left a yelp review about anything prior to this. As a first time patient, I too was excited about a Doctor who appears to care, but now am convinced he is more of the same, typical $ driven Doctor we have become far too complacent with. He offered his a la cart service for a (not so smal) fee, during my visit, and because I showed no interest in added fee's, I NOW believe he placed me on a shelf of low priority patients. I am infuriated how poor the service has proven to be... This problem can very easily be rectified by his office, so why hasn't it? Now my phone number seems to be blocked by this office and my calls consistantly go straight to voice mail. All I want are my results, WHY IS THIS A PROBLEM?? I feel like a number, and not a person. This stinks! read more
