Dr. Braun continued her active Naval Reserves participation and retired as a Lieutenant Commander. In 1988, Dr. Braun began her private practice in Palo Alto with the Palo Alto Dental Group. Early in her career, she embraced technology and lectured on the use and integration of intra-oral cameras for the dentist. She later moved her practice to Menlo Park.

Outstanding dental care with focus on prevention!

I've been seeing Dr. Braun for 15+ year and I am thrilled with the care. My husband and 2 kids also see her. I appreciate her knowledge and expertise. She is very good at giving advice and helping patients work in good dental habits to their lifestyle. She also provides care beyond most dentists, in that she prescribes treatments that prevent cavities and restores teeth Calicification. The results are less fillings and stronger teeth!

We are lucky to see her!

Great marriage of expertise based on real knowledge, state of the art care, and patient-centered app

I always seek out a provider with strong and current understanding of research and practice advances and look for someone who actually knows who I am as a patient. Dr. Braun and her team have been great, proactive and reactive, and I have had a good experience and good care.

Family have been patients here for 20 years - great care.

Have had a variety of dental issues. Dr. Braun does not rush treatments that don't need to be rushed.

Much appreciated.

High Quality Dental Professional

When I was unable to come in on one of the times that the hygienists worked, the doctor told me I could come in when I was not busing caring for my father, and she would clean my teeth herself, which she did. Also, I still cannot get over the large computer printout she gave me when I started treatment with her in the 1990's. It contained with lots of color pictures , describing in detail all the fillings and crowns she had planned for me. I signed off on her plan and she fixed all my teeth so that they never hurt again. All the staff are sweet and cheerful. I've had three different hygienists in the twenty years I have been coming here, and they were all excellent. They improved my home care, so my gingivitis went away. When they probe my gum line, I never hear that horrible number four, anymore.

She earns the crown!

After being a patient at several different dental locations in Menlo Park, Dr. Braun and her staff are amazingly refreshing in their professionalism and friendliness. Such a relaxed environment, competent staff, and an aesthetically pleasing and calming office.
