He performed the reduction to put my daughters elbow back in place. He was just as kind, attentive and friendly! I would recommend this hospital to any and all people who are faced with the unfortunate decision to have to take there child to the hospital!

--- ONE OF THE BEST DOCTORS I'VE EVER BEEN TO ---…read more ***This review is in English and in Spanish. Also please note, the doctor is both a neurologist and neurosurgeon.*** Dr. Brau pays utmost attention and care to what you say and takes his time to properly and accurately diagnose his patients. I went to him when I was 17 years old because of disc herniations. I have Lumbar Spinal Stenosis and Degenerative Disc Disease that he diagnosed and I had my first laminectomy at the age of 17 with him with fantastic recovery. His bedside manner is kind, warm and attentive -- he makes you feel very safe and communicates very well. I had a second laminectomy when I was 23, but in this case because I was in a car accident and re-herniated a disc and herniated a new one. Surgery, as the first, had very good results. He does not opt or suggest surgery right off the bat. Actually the second surgery was more of my insistence, since I didn't want to go down the same slow traditional treatment path I endured the first time. But the healing and recuperation for both has been great. In fact, I recently got an MRI that shows very little scar tissue, which I attribute to the doctor's knowledge and skilled hand. Also, now that I know more about my conditions, I SO appreciate he didn't do fusion, since a lot of doctors do fusion when it's not even really necessary, and the rods used for fusion can cause pain in cold climates or when it rains. He also remembers what he saw during surgery and explains with details to you how he saw what he saw and how he decompressed. He really cares. And for those who don't know, he was the Director of Neurosurgery of the University of Puerto Rico last I heard. He is the doctor I trust with no reservations or doubt. Even now living in the continental U.S., I still prefer to travel and see Dr. Brau when it comes to my back than seeing doctors in my area, because of his genuine professionalism and kindness. He also treats other conditions such as brain tumors. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ***Este doctor es ambos, neurólogo y neurocirujano.*** El Dr. Brau presta atención a todo lo que le explicas de tus síntomas y se toma su tiempo contigo para poder hacer el diagnóstico más acertado. Comencé a ir a su consultorio cuando tenía 17 años a raíz de discos herniados. Congénitamente, tengo Estenosis Espinal Lumbar y Discos Degenerativos que fue este doctor quien descubrió y diagnosticó. Tuve mi primera cirugía de laminectomía con este doctor (es el único que me ha operado) cuando tenía 17 años con excelente recuperación. Dr. es un sueño de doctor: atento, amable, cálido, le importan sus pacientes de verdad, es excelente en educar y orientar y un muy buen comunicador -- en fin, dá mucha seguridad. Con él, tuve una segunda cirugía de laminectomía cuando tenía 23 años, pero esto fue a raíz de un accidente en el que estuve envuelta, en el que el carro fue pérdida total. De hecho, el doctor no es precipitado en cuanto a recomendar cirugía. Esta segunda cirugía fue más mi deseo, porque no quería esperar y pasar por más dolor. Y eso me gusta del Dr. Brau, que no es el tipo de doctor que rápido quiere operar para hacer dinero. Pero claro, ya si el dolor es muy crónico y la condición provee, pues él opta por lo que dará alivio a su paciente. De esa segunda operación, igual que la primera, la recuperación fue excelente. De hecho, recientemente los resultados de mi MRI denotan muy poco tejido por cicatríz, y tengo que atribuírselo al conocimiento y buena mano del doctor. También, ahora que conozco mucho más de mi condición, le doy mil gracias al doctor por no haber hecho fusión como parte de la cirugía, ya que sé de muchos doctores que les gusta hacerla aún cuando no es realmente necesario, y eso causa dolores cuando el clima está frío además de inmovilizar cierta parte de la espina dorsal. Me encanta del doctor también que él recuerda vivamente todo lo que vió de tu espalda cuando te operó y te describe qué vió y cómo hizo la descompresión, y aún años después se acuerda, lo que obviamente es bueno, porque así sabe cómo va a proceder. Es un doctor con real vocación que le importan sus pacientes. Y para los que no sepan, al menos lo último que recuerdo de hace varios años es que Dr. Brau es/era el Director de Neurocirugía de la Universidad de Puerto Rico. Es el doctor en quien confío ciegamente y sin reservas, y aún viviendo en los Estados Unidos continentales, prefiero ir a Puerto Rico cuando necesito ser evaluada, por su profesionalismo y amabilidad genuinos. El doctor también trata otras condiciones, tales como tumores cerebrales.

Vital-Care, Aibonito April 19, 2016…read more Visited Vital-Care and found the place easy to locate by using their pin on their FB page and Google maps. We are NOT patients of Vital-Care and our opinions do not have any impact on the doctors onsite. These are purely observations. The place is located on a busy street which gives it maximum exposure to clients/vendors/patients. There are several parking spaces in front of the practice and the owners have plans to add more parking as their practice continues to grow. The waiting area is comfortable and airy with nice chairs, AC, magazines and a big flat screen TV. The staff is nice and professional. We were privileged to receive a personal tour from the owners. The offices are clean, organized, and airy. The owners have great big plans to continue to expand their presence in the town of Aibonito. Currently, Vital-Care offers general medicine, house visits, pick up service to Medicaid/Medicare patients, approved to provide medical services to VA patients. Vital-Care just added a gastroenterologist to their practice which sees/treats patients Wednesdays and Saturdays by appointment only. The owners plan to extend the gastroenterologist services to more days soon. In addition they also offer messages and reiki by appointment. Vital-Care has high-end equipment with the latest technology and advances by far surpassing most practices within the region. Big things are coming soon to Vital-Care and Aibonito!!
