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.

I saw Dr. Bradley for a torn rotator cuff. I had gone to another doctor first (required by insurance) and he didn't help me, saying nothing was wrong with my shoulder, yet I could barely lift my arm. Dr. Bradley found 2 tears immediately, looking at the same MRI!! He fixed both perfectly! James Bradley, MD is absolutely hands down the BEST!

My son went to Dr. Bradley after an injury to his knee during a football game. He ended up getting a bone and marrow transplant and is now playing college ball. This man is amazing. If you have to wait a little extra in the waiting room to see him, it's worth it!

I just had my knee repaired about two weeks ago in surgery. I panicked on which Orthopedic Surgeon to go with and to trust since I am going to be a State Trooper. Best one out there! Very happy with my choice.

Long ago, I was injured in Los Angeles. When I visited Dr. Bradley, I had a MRI report in my pocket that said: "torn ACL, probably tear of MCL and meniscus tear." Dr. Bradley examined my knee (not the MRI) and said, "complete ACL tear, at least a partial MCL tear and meniscus damage." I threw away the MRI. I knew that I was in the right place. I wouldn't be able to walk, let alone run, without Dr. James Bradley. We are unbelievably fortunate to have him in Pittsburgh...extremely lucky!

Dr Bradley was amazing. We came from Erie as he was recc to my son who is an athlete. Had Labrum open repair shoulder done. Surgery on Wed and no pain by Friday took himself off all pain meds by sat. He is post op 16 weeks this week and getting ready to start back in his lacrosse season. Very impressed with this mans skill level.

He is the best! Went to two other doctors who could not determine what was wrong with my daughter's knee. Dr. Bradley knew immediately and corrected her problem. I wish he was also a Highmark doctor.

Really miss Dr Bradley. I was forced to find another Dr. Because Shaler Area changed our insurance. Have been seeing Dr Bradley for over 17 years. Really took care of me and all of my injuries. Although my new Dr is ok, I just miss Dr Bradley. I trusted him. Never worried about going under the knife. He is one in a million. I always recommend him to anyone that has upmc insurance.

Bradley likes treating athletes. If you're not an athlete, consider going elsewhere. His staff, except the receptionist, can often be cold and even unprepared. During my last visit, they actually could not locate what they had treated me for last time. I'm shopping for a new orthopedic doctor/surgeon. Also, I've been there a few times and each time I've waited 45 min to 1.5 hours.
