I first saw Dr. Braemer when my baby was a newborn while I was shopping around for pediatricians. My baby has a unique issue so I was doing what any mother would do, and ensuring we found the right person to handle her care. My first impression was that the lady at the front was very friendly, and Braemer was very rude/dismissive. However, since there are limited options here in Redding I decided on Braemer. As soon as the lady on the phone heard that I had ever seen a different pediatrician she became volatile: "Dr. Braemer will not see your children because you saw another pediatrician." The conversation became heated and she told me "he takes it very personally." It's unfortunate that a medical "professional" would put his ego before an infant in need of care. He is rude and spiteful, and I don't believe that any amount of medical training can come before an ego such as this. Unfortunately since Redding has limited options I'm sure he knows his practice won't suffer for it. read more

Good Dr. once you get him to stop talking about his story of the day, he would easily be a 4 star doc pre-pandemic. But, the nurse is showing her nose and the Dr. was wearing a shield without a mask. In a retail setting I would give them a 5 star rating because at least they are putting some effort into it. But Doctors know better. Face shields protect the wearer not the people around them (and the further apart you are the less effective they are at doing even that), and masks need to cover all of your face holes. read more

This is a very bad temper doctor that burst into anger from no where. He doesn't allow you express your opinion or join the discussion with him. While we are just asking some referrals for my teenager kids, we were all talking politely and ask him other possibilities and he end up threats us Done. I will never see you or else really unprofessional words at the door and out for his lunch. We just moved to redding and he is the first time see us. Without any argument, he act out like this. Not to mention we have different culture or language, their attitudes are so dominated and lack of patience or understanding. Plus you can hear the kids wailing like crazy loud outside the whole time. This is a really dated and unprofessional clinic you can see at first sight. If you can, please avoid this doctor. His emotional problem would kills his business. read more

I am disappointed and disgusted by this doctors practice. At first Dr. Braemer was great I found him quirky and off the wall a bit but we both really liked him. When my son at a year old first started getting a rash on his back in October we didn't make a huge deal of it even though it was coming and going for many weeks, we tried a half dozen different creams. The doctor said it was a virus, yet he wouldn't even look at the pictures I had of my sons rash when the rash kept morphing over time. Then he started getting rashes more severely where his skin was shredding and extremely red almost bleeding and that rash also would come and go for weeks as well. My breaking point was my son had an allergic reaction to who knows what turning bright red, skin hot to touch, and hives everywhere. We had put him in a bath and gave him Benadryl. Then came the diarrhea and vomiting. We were seeing Braemer as soon as we could get in. I showed him a whole list of everything that was going on and dates they began, once again he wanted to say it was a virus and shrug me off. This time I stood my ground and told him this has been going on for 4 months and more needs to be done, a blood test, allergy testing, a mouth swab? SOMETHING! I also have sensitivities and get hives but I have no idea what causes it but I just deal and don't care, but this is my kid and I have to advocate for him. Dr Braemer smugly said all he will do is refer me to an allergist. At the time I was thankful. Go to find out an allergist is not covered by insurance! A skin prick to test 1 allergen was 70$. The consult about 135$.... this adds up when you're not sure what your kid is allergic to. I called Braemer's office and asked for a blood test instead. They tried telling me to go to the ER.... first of all I work in the ER we don't order allergy panels. Second of all this is not the time you want to take a 15 month old into the ER and I won't unless it's an absolute emergency. The employee told me he just won't order a blood test because he doesn't want to follow up. It is the pediatricians job to follow up on his patients! It is what he signed up for! At this point I was at my wits end and I lost it and he is fired. If I ever see Braemer in public I'll give him a piece of my mind that he should not be in care of children if he doesn't have the compassion to notice something is wrong or take the parent to heart when there is obviously something going on with my child. A few of my co workers have had similar issues with this doctor and fired him as well. Try going to Lagoc! read more

My two year old son has been sick with a cough and fever during this Coronavirus situation and I have been showing symptoms as well. I called Dr. Braemer after hours when my son had a spiked fever and instead of the dr calling me back after calling the emergency line, his front office assistant called me and was very rude to me for calling after hours and for suggesting that the dr come out to the car or talk with me on the phone to avoid spreading my symptoms with anyone in the office at an appt the next day. She said that the dr would not do that and scheduled me for the first appt the next morning. Unfortunately my symptoms got worse overnight and I called before my appt time to let them know, the same woman called me again and was again rude to me. This dr and his staff do not seem to be concerned about spreading the Coronavirus at all. I would think the dr would have gladly talked to me or came out to the car to check my child instead of putting his staff and patients in danger, but he chose to not compromise at all despite my efforts to try to help. I have heard horror stories about this dr but chose to make my own decision, I was able to do that today! Also she told me the dr would need to see my son to prescribe antibiotics, not sure why the dr would assume my son needs antibiotics without even seeing him. They did not seem to be effected by losing a patient at all either, which was a surprise as he is a small business owner. It's sad really. read more

I don't see how Dr. Braemer has any negative reviews. He is always fast, efficient, and upbeat. I love the small business feel. Seeing the same employees every time and getting in and out with barely any wait. I never feel pressured or judged for the decisions we make for our children. I would 10/10 recommend him and staff to anyone! read more

Dr Braemer is the best pediatrician I've come across in Redding! He is extremely knowledgeable and takes the time to answer any number of questions. He's very patient and caring with our son and is a kind and helpful man. He has referred us to some of the best doctors and does everything promptly. The clinic is clean and the staff are friendly. He is an excellent pediatrician who always knows what he's doing. And yes, I would highly recommend him!! read more

I would not recommend Dr. Braemer as a Pediatrician. At first I thought he was knowledgeable and really cared about children, but it became painfully clear that this is just a business to him and protecting his profit margin means his medical opinion is for sale to the highest bidder. Dr. Braemer seems to have animosity towards mothers in general. I remember him telling me negative things about his ex-wife at my child's appointments- absolute hatred for this woman- and being mystified about this. This should have been a red flag to me about Dr. Braemer. I found out the hard way that Dr. Braemer will go to great lengths to protect a fellow man - even if there are physical signs that this man is abusive to children. Dr. Braemer missed everything- and worse is that when a mom has a concern about her child, Dr. Braemer does not value the wisdom of mothers and seems to disagree with a protective mom just to be oppositional towards women. I don't believe he has adequate training to access the early warning signs that would help children- when something could actually be done to help. I never thought in a million years that my judgment was so bad - but I am sharing this experience because no matter how good you think life is going - it's important to have honest, ethical and genuine people there for your kids in case something goes wrong. Unfortunately for my children, going to Dr. Braemer was a mistake. read more

Dr Braemer is a brilliant pediatrician and is the best in the profession. He always has a way of relieving the stress of parents' worries, while keeping the care for our children to the highest of standards. He truly goes way out of his way to help when we need it the most. I even had to call him one Sunday morning with what I presumed an urgent need and he answered my call, while he was out in the bush, Turkey hunting. He whispered what we needed to know, haha, and solved our issue right on the spot. That just goes to show how dedicated he is to his profession as a lifestyle. True commitment. He knows when to use humor and when to be serious. No matter what your child is facing, whether it be well-checkups or a sickness etc, Dr. Braemer has earned our families trust and we hold his opinion in the highest regard. His staff sets the bar high and are always friendly, prompt, and professional. Rest assured with Dr. Braemer, you and your children will be taken care of. Highly Recommended. read more
