Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Highly recommended
I would highly recommend Dr. Brothers. He took the time to answer all of my questions regarding a knee replacement and immediately put me at ease. I am confident that I am in good hands moving forward with my surgery.

Compassionate and Competent
From the time he said I needed a hip replacement and through the surgery which went very well to the post operative treatments and final visit everything went smoothly. The doctor and staff are very competent. I felt I was in good hands.

Excellent Service
Dr. Brothers was very kind, professional and informative in answering all my questions. He made me feel relaxed and at ease knowing that I was concerned this being my first knee surgury. His nurse assistant ? also was very helpful from all her many years of experience answering most all my questions that the doctor would have answered. She is smart. A great help. Thank you.

Total right knee replacement surgery
Dr. Brothers has excellent communication skills. He answered all my questions honestly and explained in detail the risk and benefit of this surgery. He also listened to me and answered all my questions and concerns. He explained the procedure he would be performing but also stressed post surgery the process of therapy was super important and he stressed how important it was for me to expect pain but to accept pain as the healing process and continue to follow the guidance of the therapists. There are always risks during surgery but my quality of life was not good and I definitely needed the surgery. I am six days out of surgery and healing exceptionally well, minimal swelling, performing exercises - as per the therapists, range of motion very good also. Overall I am super happy and excited with the procedure and the healing thus far. I cannot stress how important ice and elevation is for the healing. Thank you Dr. Brothers.

Thoughtful and thorough
Dr. Brothers spent a lot of time with me making sense out of the MRI and x-rays. My diagnosis is not straightforward so he explained possibilities to me and I received an injection as step 1 in the treatment plan.

good first impression
The Dr. was friendly and happy. He smiled and was relatable, while still inspiring confidence in the job he does. Seemingly not arrogant. Did not talk down to me. How I'm treated is as important to me as how good their technical skills are.

Highly recommend!
My appointment was for a one year check back for my knee replacement. My knee is doing very well thanks to Dr. Brothers expertise. I was taken right on time. Everyone, including the x-ray tech was very pleasant. It was so nice to see Dr. Brothers again. Not only is he a talented surgeon but a kind and caring human being!
