Surgeon Testimonial

Collin Brathwaite, M.D.
My first impression of Dr. Brathwaite was that he was a sincere and compassionate individual. He has a partner whoI have not had direct dealings with. Dr. Brathwaite's staff is friendly and effecient. Dr. Brathwaitte really stresses the importance of strict aftercare visits and participation in a support group, which his office does offer. I really enjoy it. He was very thoruogh in preparing me for surgery and informative about the potential risks. Overall I would give him a high rating. His surgical competance and bedside manner were were both great. Only two draw backs so far. The first is that after surgery my post op visits are not with him but with his nurse practitioner. No negative comments about the care received, I just wished my 1st post op visit would have been with him. The second draw back is that I'm not overly impressed with the after hours responce when a message is left with the service and Dr. Brathwaite's partner is the one on call. The number of messages that had to be left in order to get a return call and the length of time it took to get a call back from his partner was not acceptable.

A GREAT RECIPE...

1. Take a 10-30 minute walk every day. And while you walk, smile. It is the ultimate anti-depressant.

2. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day. Talk to the God of your understanding about what is going on in your life.

3. When you wake up in the morning complete the following statement, 'My purpose is to __________ today. I am thankful for______________'

4. Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that is manufactured in plants.

5. Drink green tea and plenty of water. Eat blueberries, wild Alaskan salmon, broccoli, almonds & walnuts.

6. Try to make at least three people smile each day.

7. Don't waste your precious energy on gossip, energy vampires, issues of the past, negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment.

8. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a college kid with a maxed out charge card.

9. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.

10. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.

11. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.

12. You are not so important that you have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.

13. Make peace with your past so it won't spoil the present.

14. Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.

15. No one is in charge of your happiness except you.

16. Frame every so-called disaster with these words: 'In five years, will this matter?'

17. Forgive everyone for everything.

18. What other people think of you is none of your business.

19. GOD heals everything - but you have to ask Him.

20. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.

21. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch!!!

22. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.

23. Each night before you go to bed complete the following statements: I am thankful for __________.
Today I accomplished _________.

24. Remember that you are too blessed to be stressed.

25. When you are feeling down, start listing your many blessings. You'll be smiling before you know it.
