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 had a left foot bunion surgery in 2019 with Dr. Brodsky and he and his team were/are amazing. He's extremely thorough with all questions/concerns prior to the surgery and post-surgery care. Him and the entire team have great bedside manners and really show empathy and sincerity at every visit. I also want to shout out his PA Laura Lynn McDonough, who's amazing as well. Since my surgery, I have run 2 half marathons and have no issues. Will be going back to get surgery on my other foot soon.

Dr Brodsky did my surgery three years ago and my foot has never been well and I can’t do anything I used to do. He didn’t care my foot was messed up and said it was “ pretty good”. No compassion at all and runs patients in and out like a factory. He spent about 5 min per appt with me. I’d never go back to him or recommend.

Jim Brodsky performed bunion and hammertoe surgery on both of my feet. One foot came out okay. The second bunion surgery, not so much, but I did not want to go through all of the trauma to re-do that one. Further, the hammertoe surgery resulted in a much worse condition than it was in originally. So much so, that I scheduled a second surgery to have him attempt to repair his bad work. I suppose, shame on me for thinking that he could fix it. It came out even worse the second time! And continued to cause me so much pain. Adding insult to (literal) injury, he never owned his mistakes; he just shrugged them off and said: Go on in and speak to Jackie to set up another surgery. What impertinence! I finally had to find another doctor to have a third surgery to repair the terrible mistakes that this guy made. STAY AWAY!

Dr. Brodsky and his staff are the most professional, knowledgeable, and caring physicians' office I have visited in my 60 years. I saw 3 orthopedic specialists before finally doing some research and finding this one. It was so worth the two-hour round-trip drive (which I often made once a week). And the only times, maybe 3, when there was a long wait was when I had a late morning appointment. After being told by other doctors I was lucky my foot wasn't amputated and that another doctor wouldn't touch me, Dr. Brodsky fixed me. I can walk again very well after 3 years of using a knee scooter. I HIGHLY recommend him.

Went on for foot pain. 3 MRI'S / 8 weeks in a cast. 4 weeks in a boot, all they kept saying is yea its very swollen. No better now than after all this and 5 office visits. Ruined my whole summer being in boot and cast for basically nothing. All he and his assistant say is we like to be cautious and take it slow and this is the way we do things. Basically no Idea what to do and continue to bill my insurance for repeated tests. Done and going to get another opinion. Wait times are ridiculous over 1 hour each visit and trying to get a call back from someone there, good luck.

Dr. Brodsky is probably the most proficient, kind-hearted, knowledgeable, gregarious doctors I have ever known! His compassion is unmatched. He makes you feel as if you are the only patient he has, and he has doctors from all over the world who come to train under him. To top this off, he’s very humble! What a man! You cannot go wrong with him. with him.

I found Dr. Brodsky very intense & focused on perfection. He was thorough in explaining what my surgery would entail, and what I would need to do following surgery.

I had been a patient of Dr. Brodsky's for 23 years and had multiple surgeries and broken bones repaired by him. In the past two years the experiences I have had were worse than deplorable; down right despicable. On my last visit which was 6 hours there was no listening, treating me like a 5 year old, and telling me how I should feel. His course of action made my condition so much worse it is taking 3 other doctors to start a new course of action and months to not only correct the problem

Dr. Brodsky is the best in the Dallas area! I’m surprised by some of the negative comments. I went to other doctors before seeing him for a second opinion. He was the most thorough and I ended up using him for my surgery. He answered all of my questions and took great care of me. My surgery was major, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. He and all of his staff are amazing!

My husband WAS a patient of Dr. Brodsky. After waiting for 2 hours for a scheduled 5 second appointment, Dr. Brodsky renewed his prescription for shoe insert. This visit was required by the Dr. In addition to spending 2 HRS waiting for the appt., the billing department keeps sending me past due notices on an invoiced that was paid 6 months ago. I contacted the billing dept 6 times and was told Misty was handling it. This experience goes down as the worst doctor's office ever. BEWARE!!
