Lately, when I am braking the left front wheel seems to vibrate. It gets worse when I am braking at higher speeds. I did a quick inspection and everything seems in order.

You have a brake rotor warping. The higher speed braking puts more heat into the rotor making it contort faster.

I agree. Replace the front brake rotors and while your there install new front brake pads.(When you take a shower you put on clean underwear)
