I have gone to this clinic and have seen the PA Tony for a 5+ years now. I would highly recommend his care and the care of Dr.Walkey, the pediatrician. As for Dr.Braden himself, he may own this practice but he personally does not practice here at all and has not for the last 5+ years. He did several years ago, but no longer does. Expect to see the PA that is there daily or the nurse who communicates with the PA. Dr.Walkey (pediatrician) is on staff/in office daily as well. Great for med management, anxiety/depression, pulled muscles and tendons, cold and flu, stitches, etc. If you have an actual urgent issue like a cut that needs stitches, they will get you in. If it is not urgent and they are busy you may have to come back the next day but the staff does their best to accommodate. A lot of people live out here now so patients need to understand that, especially with the pandemic.
