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.

Confidence without Arrogance or Bravado
Dr. Bradenham was genuine and sincere. He was easy to talk with and allayed major fears about my upcoming surgery. No question was dismissed, and I left more encouraged about the outcome of my procedure.

Good experience
I was able to get a last-minute appointment with Doctor Bradenham. It was not my initial choice, but I do not regret it. I had a good experience with him at my initial appointment. He was very attentive to my concerns. And he provided me with a reasonable medical treatment plan. Unfortunately, my diagnostic procedure will take approximately two months to be scheduled, and that would be the only downside of my visit. However, I have noticed this is a problem, across-the-board. On any medical specialty nowadays. Overall, I had a great experience and I appreciate his service.

Gave back my quality of life!
4 other doctors, including one in Dr. Bradenham's specialty, were unable to help me with several years of pain and side effects after multiple surgeries. But on my first visit, Dr. Bradenham instantly knew what I was talking about, explained the likely cause, and prescribed a low dose med and easy ways to to manage the pain. The difference was immediate, and I could again do things I previously had to avoid! That was 15 months ago. Thank you Dr. Bradenham, for giving my quality of life back!

Overall great experience!
Overall a GREAT experience from the Clenpiq, which tasted like Gatorade & was a gentle cleanse to the smiling faces of the office staff, nurses, anesthesiologist, & Dr. B. The procedure room was personalized and everyone was nurturing. It was smooth & quick double procedure that only took 50min! I don't remember a thing, hehe!

Hope to chat with him
He introduced himself- nice and professional, then I didn’t see him or hear about the results after he performed the procedure-Hope to connect in the next few days. My main complaint is for the practice which schedules too many people - I didn’t go into the room until 20 min after schedule… patients wheeled around and waiting. Likely prevents doctors from following up after procedure.

First Visit
I was referred to Dr. Bradenham by my PCP. I was a little nervous being that I have never been to a GI doctor before and wasn’t sure what to expect. Needless to say from the minute I walked in I was completely at ease. Everyone was so professional, friendly and extremely helpful. Dr. Bradenham was exceptional and was very knowledgeable and thorough. I highly recommend this practice!

Colonoscopy
The procedure went very well. I felt no discomfort and the doctor was very professional. Regarding the facility, I did notice certain people are treated/dealt with differently or more harshly than others. I was publicly threatened: ‘I will break your hand’ for picking up too many pins - not a pleasant experience for someone who hasn’t eaten or slept. Also not everyone is offered a drink when they awake. Not everyone gets assistance with attaching wrist ID’s. We all have bad days but taking it out on those who are incapable of defending themselves seems wrong.
