Dr Braaton is a great doctor. He is willing to listen to all my concerns and answers all questions. The nurses are very attentive and take care of all your needs. I would highly recommend Dr. Braaton and his staff.

I would definitely recommend the doctors. Dr. Purnell and his P.A. Marco are skilled professionals and advised my son properly about the risks of surgery, and alternatives to surgery. My son ended up opting to get PCL reconstruction surgery in 2019. Surgery went well, and as scheduled. It was a very long recovery of which is he was advised of prior to the surgery. Sometimes the wait times for appointments were longer than expected. My only gripe is the lack of professionalism in the front office. Clearly there are some unhappy employees that need to move on.

Do not go here if you can avoid it. From the receptionist to the surgeon, they are a complete wreck. Your appointments won't happen on time, the receptionist is rude, you will be put on hold so long that it is faster just to visit in person, you will be billed incorrectly, your surgery will be late or postponed, if you're lucky enough to see the Doc before your surgery, he will BS you just as much as the physician's assistant.

Go somewhere else. I broke my clavicle on my bike. It was a bad break. Attempts to get it fixed right away never got submitted and too much time passed for surgery so i just tried to let it heal naturally. 6-7 months later and im having pain so i went in for a second attempt to have surgery done. i got it scheduled this time, but 6 days before surgery i meet with the doctor for him to unconvincingly tell me surgery MAY or MAY NOT fix the problem and practically talked me out of it. Thats an expensive maybe. I also made half a dozen attempts to get them to tell me how much the surgery was going to cost, not one of my phone calls were returned.

I was referred to Dr. Paul Braaton by Doctors Hospital because I fractured my ankle. I called to get an appointment and the receptionist who answered was so rude, it sounded like I was disturbing them. I provided the wrong doctors name from the document I had and she said, "We don't have anyone by those names?" in a very demeaning tone. I finally gave them the right name (Paul Braaton) and she transferred me.
No one answered and I left a message. The message stated if I did not receive a call within 48 hours to call the receptionist again. I called the following day and the receptionist who answered was once again rude. She transferred me and I left another message. This is now the third day and no call was returned to me. Thankfully I googled another Orthopedice (receptions was very nice!), Dr. Eric McMillan in Turlock (on E. Hawkeye).
She was able to call me back within two hours and scheduled me an appointment for the following day. I understand medical offices get really busy, but the doctor should be smart enough to not hire such a receptionist who is so rude - their job is customer service - their job is to be nice! If you can't handle it, get another job!

DO NOT MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO SEE THIS POS DOCTOR I injured my hip running 5K runs. The first time I went here, which took over a month to get an apt., I only saw a PA and not the doctor. I had x-rays and told to go to Physical Therapy. After no help I returned to my family Doc who scheduled an MRI. The MRI shows two tears, one in the lining and one in a tendon along with a 9mm cyst. I rescheduled to see Dr. Holmes and had to wait for over a month to see him.
Today I showed up for my apt and I was told that I should have received a call on Nov 5 that the Dr is downsizing and had to cancel my apt. I checked my phone and saw that I never received a call. I was told that "yeah, that person is no longer here and we will problem her that complaint more" She told me I could get another apt. for sometime in January if i wanted to!

Today I walked in and a lady named Nikki was the receptionist. She was completely rude to every single patient that walked in. She was very rude with every call she picked up. The blonde receptionist asked if I needed help and she was super nice, helpful and pleasant to talk too. Long story short we rescheduled after 50 minutes of waiting and observing.
