Furthermore, he is affiliated with numerous hospitals, including St. Elizabeth Medical Center North and more. When asked why he got into private practice, Dr. Braithwaite answered “After being in the academic world for most of my life, I decided that I wanted to try something different. Although I maintain a great appreciation for scholastic achievement, research pursuits and the multi-tiered learning approach of residency, the greater autonomy and personalized control of one’s schedule and patient load of private practice was more appealing.” In his spare time, Dr. Braithwaite enjoys a combination of exercising, exploring the outdoors, traveling, and on occasion, watching Netflix.
