I like Dr. Brandse but first I have to start with her office - beautiful art work, photography, comfortable couches. I feel like I'm at a cafe overseas somewhere having a cigarette (I don't smoke), glass of wine (I don't drink) and reading a magazine (I do read). Dr. Brandse has always made me feel comfortable over the years first with our casual conversation (she laughs at my jokes) and with… See more
THAT IS HOW I FEEL ABOUT DR. BRANDSE. SHE IS ALWAYS THERE FOR ME WHEN I NEED HER. IF I DON'T CALL HER WHEN I HAVE A PROBLEM SHE REPRIMANDS ME, LIKE A FRIEND WOULD. THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED. I WAS ON VACATION AND FORGOT MY MEDS. I CALLED DR. BRANDSE ON A SUNDAY MORNING. NO PROBLEM. SHE CALLED THE LOCAL PHARMACY AND MY MEDS WERE WAITING FOR ME I DID NOT HAVE TO TELL HER ALL… See more
I started taking an injection to help with my bone loss and was really concerned about the long- and short-term side effects. I made an appointment with my doctor to discuss my concerns. She shared a personal story with me which helped me decide that the benefits of the medication will outweigh the risks, especially when I get older. If I don't start the medication now and then start… See more
Dr. Karen-Gail Brandse and staff never misses a return call! My husband and I couldn’t be happier with our care. We feel blessed to have Dr. Brandse and her staff overseeing our health.
Dr Brandse always answers my questions whether in person or with an email. I feel she has been very attentive to my care. I am so happy to have her as my PCP. She is awesome.
Dr. Brandse came highly recommended by my sister over 20 years ago. I have found her to be supportive in all aspects of my health journey. She takes time to listen to me when we meet and explains things that help me understand whatever choice I have to make about my health decisions. I have found Dr. Brandse and her staff to be caring and responsive any time of day or nighttime. Here is my… See more

She is brilliant, kind , compassionate and ALWAYS a phone call away when you need her . She listens , prioritizes her patients concerns and then follows up consistently.

A year and a half ago I asked a friend, a member of our local garden clulb, if she knew someone who would come and clean up my overgrown garden since I cannot do that anymore. The woman who came to do that greeted me at my door with "Oh my gawd you've got pink hair!" and I do have tints of pink . She never did get to do much in the garden because we spent a lot of time chatting and getting… See more
We have never had such confidence in a doctor as we have in Dr Karen-Gale Brandse. She not only puts our minds at ease, she will say "I will tell you when to worry.". We both trust her ability to cure anything wrong with us or to refer a specialist if needed. She always picks the right one. She personally calls us to see how we are doing. She is a complete woman, doctor, friend - our go to… See more
Short but sweet. I will be 75 in a couple of months. In all those years, Dr. Brandse is the best doctor I have ever experienced, bar none. She has helped me in so many ways, physically and mentally. I would never choose another doctor over her.
