Dr. Michael Charles Braunstein, MD

Get 2 opinion. My liver is bad. Wants to keep doing colonoscopy. 2 dr said no need... it’s my liver. But Dr B don’t know his craft. Greedy guy. Couldn’t give a hoot about ya. Money.. his whole life. Sad fella

I have been Dr. Braunstein's patient for over a decade. He is very professional, caring, and helpful. He is the only gastroenterologist that has made me feel comfortable discussing and treating some very uncomfortable issues. He is humane and down to earth. Everyone in his office is caring and helpful as well. Although gastrointestinal issues can be frustrating, it is so reassuring to have a doctor to help put you at ease.

Terrible doctor

My wife and I have been using the services of Dr. Michael Braunstein, Massapequa for the past 20 plus years. During this period we have always found him to be straight forward, very pro-active on any treatments and continually following up regularly for all of our internal/gastronomical health issues. We remain long term patients and my wife especially (an RN for over 40 years) trust and respect his judgement on our continuing health issues. marty & sue waisnor

I have been a patient of Dr Braunstein for over 25 years. Helped me through many difficult times. Pleasure to have such an excellent Doctor.

The day I went to Dr. Braunstein I was suffering with extreme acid reflux. This condition existed for years and was not addressed by other doctors over the years Dr Braunstein performed a test that diagnosed a pre-cancerous condition. He has resolved the problem. I have had 22 comfortable years.

The best Gastro I've ever been too.

This is the worse dr I have ever went to. He doesn't answer any questions. If you happen to get a question in he basically pushes it off to the side. All he cares about is the next visit and how long he can keep you on medicine. I had a horrible side effect from the medication that put me in the hospital and I called him twice as an emergency and he didn't call back.

This doctor was awfeul. I went to see him with all the symptoms of diverticular disease.He had even diagnosed me with DV pockets after my last colonoscopy. His examination was a joke. After listening him talk on the phone for 10 minutes to his receptionist, he spoke into his dictaphone describing my symptoms. Then he told me "its your IBS" and "stop worrying let me worry for you?"He poked my stomach and again said that it was IBS. He stated that he would be more concerned if I had a fever. I told him that I had not taken my temperature and maybe he could. He replied that he could not find his thermometer because he has justr moved into his fancy new office but that I could go to CVS and buy one, take my temperature and just let him know. He did take my blood and bungled that as he "has not taken blood in awhile". On my way out, his staff harassed me to do a medical update as well as wanting to take my picture. Several days later, Dr. Braunstein called me and said that my white blood count was up and that it probably wasn't IBS after all. He suggested that I come back in. I told him that I will not be back. Would not go back if he was the last doctor on earth.

Was so grateful to Dr. Braunstein for his care. He was compassionate- and his management of my stomach issues helped me tremendously. totally recommend

Absolutely horrible experience and will never go back to this doctor. Hard to make an appointment. The staff is awful. I waited a long time to see him. He is very abrupt and abrasive. Wrong diagnosis. He is honestly just a jerk. He doesn't care about his patients. His answer to everything is to "just chill out". He just wants money. I got billed for the anesthetist because they gave me someone out of network. I had to do all of the legwork when someone in the office said they would handle it and the insurance ended up paying ten times the amount of what he normally gets paid which is fraud. Even after getting paid by insurance they tried to get money out of me. Would never go back or recommend this office to anyone, unless I really hate them. The rich keep getting richer so they can move offices and buy fancy dictation machines, but yet do nothing to help their patients.

He was both indifferent and uncaring. On top of that, there was unprofessional machismo and a snobbish categorizing of his patients, seemingly feeling higher than them with his "superior" diagnosis. However, he had not even completed his physical examination! Castle Connolly and high-level ratings notwithstanding, I would rather see a doctor that cares about me that has one star less than this one. Personal concern goes a long way in making a doctor both more efficient and more effective. If they care they try harder and their examination is more profound. I would not recommend this Dr. to anyone.

I had such a positive experience with Doctor Braunstein that I just had to share with the world. He was thorough and meticulous in his check-up and was courteous and professional during my visit. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

My experience with Doctor Braunstein was super! He was so sweet and took the time to explain all my symptoms. In addition, I feel very confident in his diagnosis due to his meticulous nature. AAA+!

Dr. Braunstein is the best in the business. He is such a kind and compassionate person who takes the time to sit with his patients and explain their problems. I highly recommend him for everyone! Thanks again!
