Dr. Braun was an amazing physician who was so kind and compassionate. He absolutely loved his family and it was phenomenal to be able to listen to his stories about each of his children. He was so proud of each of them and loved his family too. We were able to laugh and make ease during my time of uncertainty but he was so quick to diagnose and expedite care (even during my pregnancies). Which gave him moments to bring up expert dad advice and of course, Rock chalk Jayhawks! It was a privilege to have known him. We send many thoughts and prayers to his family, thank you for letting us share a portion of his life. May memories bring you comfort.

I was a patient of Dr Braun for 19 years. He would call me his discovery patient because he found things I have that are life issues. When i would go in we always talked about our families well our daughters. I was from Norwalk also and my daughter was very much like his daughter. We would talk about how much we loved them and the grandchild they gave us. I am going to miss him terribly and will be praying for the peace of knowing he is helping people in heaven.

I am so sorry to hear of Dr. Braun's passing. He was a pioneer in Fibromyalgia and the 20 years I spent as his patient gave me peace of mind that he was always looking at new research and cared deeply for his patients and his staff. My deepest condolences to his wife Penny and their children. We were just talking about our kids at my last visit.

I offer my deepest condolences! I am shocked by his sudden passing as well as completely puzzled. He was there when I had no one else to turn to and am forever in his debt, and I never was able to repay him for that. His family and friends are in my prayers! He will be missed!
