About

Care Philosophy

My goal is to establish a genuine connection with my patients, meeting them where they're at in their unique situation. By forming strong relationships, we can work together to explore treatment options that may best suit their needs.

Personal Statement

I am a cheesehead, born and bred, from southeast Wisconsin. I was a former two-sport collegiate athlete. I am married with four beautiful daughters, and I enjoy spending time with family, playing baseball, weightlifting, fishing, hunting and hiking.

    Yes, everybody was caring from the minute I walked in and until I left. There was no unanswered questions, no unanswered about the caring. It was a 10 for everybody. And I don't like bringing up Prevey, but no. It was just like when I put my arm on a socket, they said, give me a sling wrist ban and we'll see you in 10 weeks, you know. So yes, everything was the greatest care I ever had yet. And I would definitely tell people about them. So thank you.

    I just wanted to let you know that I was not called back for six months after I had a CT scan. I've since been to your office and got the result of the CT scan, but six months is way too long and I came for a second opinion and never got it. So I've gotten the shot now and I will let you know how that went.

    Our family really appreciated Dr. Brannen and his thorough and kind demeanor. He listened to my son and fought for his care. We really appreciate him and just really enjoy working with him. Thank you.
