Verified Patient Reviews for Richard Brazzel, MD
Dr. Z is always kind and takes the time to educate. Dr. Z is amazing and he is really the only reason I’m comfortable returning to CWH after my experience with Dr. Beauchamp. Any of my negative ratings about returning to the practice are due to my previous experiences with her, not Dr. Z. He is the only reason I have returned.
Kind staff, clean rooms, Dr. listened and didn't rush me out.
Dr. B and staff are the best!

The service was exceptional.
Made me feel extremely comfortable and listened to my concerns.
Dr. Brazzel has always made me feel at easy, welcome and in control of my health. He delivered both of my daughters and helped my husband and I navigate a heartbreaking pregnancy loss earlier this year due to an unknown uterine defect. Throughout the entire process of navigating the physical, mental, emotional toll that loss has had on me and my family Dr. Brazzel has been informative, honest, supportive and kind to us just as he was with my two to term pregnancies. During the time of recovery after losing our baby, he encouraged me to find a surgeon to repair the defect since I expressed hopes of another healthy pregnancy in the future. Since the surgery has been performed Dr. Brazzel has met with me to discuss my recovery (both physically and emotionally) from the events of the past year (pregnancy loss and surgery) and has offered his expertise and guidance whenever I need it. He is my most trusted doctor, he is the one who always makes me feel informed, in control of my health and my appointments, never dismissed, rushed or like I’m wasting his time. He comes to every appointment open to whatever the situation is at hand and always without judgment or negativity. When asked for an OB/GYN recommendation, I cannot say his name fast enough. Across the board, for my entire life in all medical fields, he is head and shoulders above any Doctor that has ever helped me in anyway. I cannot say enough wonderful things about him.
Incredible provider!
My appointment with Dr. Brazzel was a 10/10—he was great, and I have absolutely no complaints about him. Unfortunately, everything else surrounding my pre-op experience was downhill. I went 8 days prior to my pre-op appointment specifically to make sure I was doing my part and giving the office plenty of time. I dropped off my FMLA paperwork, paid the required $25 cash fee, and received the information for my hospital pre-op appointment. Unfortunately, after 8 days and 6 business days, my FMLA paperwork still had not been sent back to me. On top of that, my hospital pre-op appointment was never scheduled. I had to be worked into the schedule because it had not been taken care of. That was extremely frustrating because I went out of my way to get everything handled ahead of time so there would be no last-minute issues. I understand that things happen, but when a patient does their part and plans ahead, you expect the office to follow through on theirs. Again, Dr. Brazzel himself was excellent, but the administrative side of my experience was very disappointing. Better communication, organization, and follow-through would have made a huge difference. My Experience with Dr. Brazzel ❤️ Let me make this VERY clear: Dr. Brazzel is and has ALWAYS been an AMAZING and EXCELLENT provider! ❤️ He genuinely loves his patients and what he does, and it shows. He consistently goes above and beyond to make sure his patients feel heard, understood, and cared for. One of the things I appreciate most about him is that he listens. He takes the time to make sure you understand everything and that you’re both on the same page before moving forward. I absolutely LOVE Dr. Brazzel and have nothing but wonderful things to say about him and the care he provides. My concern was not with him at all—my appointment with him was truly a 10/10! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
