Vail-Summit Orthopaedics & Neurosurgery

I am truly grateful for Dr. Braxton’s expertise and compassionate approach. He took the time to explain my condition and treatment options in detail, ensuring I felt informed and supported. What truly impressed me was his dedication to my care. Dr. Braxton went above and beyond to find a specialist who could further assist me. His kindness and attentiveness made a significant difference in my experience, turning what could have been a stressful time into a more manageable one. If you're seeking a neurosurgeon who combines skill with empathy, I highly recommend this outstanding professional!

Dr. Braxton is lovely, thorough, and patient. He gave me options without rushing me under the knife and explained everything thoroughly, answering any questions I had. I know a number of people who raved about him and I now know why.

Dr Braxton is an exceptionally talented neurosurgeon whose concern for his patients well being and medical success are at the top of his list. What a kind and patient-involved doctor. He sets the bar of medical-care excellence pretty high!

I’ve been struggling with hip pain for years, the providers at VSO are kind, caring, and compassionate. Dr Gnirke asks his PA Hailey have been so helpful on my healing journey. Would highly recommend!

Dr Braxton is very knowledgeable and uses good common sense in approach to back problems. Plus he is a very pleasant guy. My wife and I are very pleased with results of previous surgery.

Most people in need of a complicated surgery are rightfully attuned to the surgeon’s technical skills, so it is a blessing when there is a large serving of humanity as well. My situation was trauma related, and I felt acknowledged and cared for from my first visit. When surgery was suggested, I was thoroughly informed of potential complications, and the projected length of recovery. Nothing but superlatives for Dr. Braxton and the his staff. My experience was a breath of fresh air!

Just like past appointments, from the front desk to the exam room everything was fast and easy. Dr. Braxton and the rest of the staff were very attentive and positive. They interact very well, they read the room well, it’s never a vacation seeing a surgeon but it’s painless as possible. Issues get discussed thoroughly and all treatments are discussed as well as diagnostics. Nothing is left out when you leave the office. Definitely the best team I’ve been blessed with. I would highly recommend a visit before making any decisions elsewhere.

Dr Braxton spends the time with you to explain things and listen to your concerns. His whole team is wonderful.
