I recently had surgery with doctor Richard Braver, and I cant express how thankful I am that God put a doctor like him in my path. Due to doctor Bravers experience he was able to identify my nerve related problems in my right leg. After almost two years going to the best doctors even Cornell hospital without any answers. He may me feel confident that he was going to help me with my problem because he did so many of this surgery with great success. I had two nerve entrapments due to getting hurt at physical therapy.

Dr. Braver is an accomplished foot surgeon with at least two decades of experience. I had a painful bone spur that I suffered with for nearly 2 years, and it was not going away. Dr. Braver and his team were able to perform an amazing corrective surgery on my heel with no pain. The recovery plan was explained with good information that helped me prepare for and understand this necessary process. This was the hardest part, but Dr. Braver and his staff helped me gauge my expectations and get me completely through it all. Thank you! It is nice to be able to walk without pain!
