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.

Dr. Bravman recently helped remove hardware on my clavicle from a mountain biking accident just over a year ago. He also worked to resolve pain and stiffness I’d been experiencing in my rotator cuff and shoulder. At every point of contact, Dr. Bravman and his team have been above and beyond. They spent all the time necessary to diagnose my condition, recommend a course of action, explain the risks and what to expect from surgery through recovery. Six weeks out from surgery, I’m in better shape than I might have imagined. Can’t recommend Dr. Bravman highly enough!!

Do not visit Jonathan Bravman, this is the worst doctor visit I have ever had and a completely overcharged waste of money. I went in for a knee pain injury cycling. I saw a medical student resident for 10 minutes who said it sounds like a torn meniscus (it wasn't). Bravman then came in for 5-10 minutes didn't ask many questions and agreed with the resident (he was wrong), ordered x-rays, and then ordered I get an MRI (unnecessary if they hadn't assumed and been wrong). I chose to go to another office for the MRI review, and she immediately said it's IT band syndrome based on my description and knew exactly what was going on. For visiting with a medical student and Jonathan Bravman for 10 minutes I was charged at over $400. The unnecessary MRI was another $800. There is absolutely no way they can justify these charges, but told me that's just the way it is. DO NOT VISIT JONATHAN BRAVMAN

Jonathan Bravman is the WORST DOC I’ve ever had!! Extremely unprofessional,inappropriate &unethical. I had routine rotator cuff surgery 10yrs ago w/major complication.I asked why it happened;all he said was “It happens”&hurriedly left.No opportunity to ask questions at any point.I was on an oxygen machine for weeks with NO follow up from him or other staff. I couldn’t finish treatment due to his egregious behavior.Thus,my range of motion still quite bad.Saw him Oct 2020 for new urgent injury,as his was the only next day appt.That was extremely unfortunate,as he was infinitely more unprofessional, callous,indifferent & unethical.The doc has nearly zero empathy,compassion or the MOST basic sense of humanity. He grossly mistreated&degraded me—truly shocking! In 10yrs he’s violated over&over again every ethical requirement of physicians.Bravman should NOT be licensed.His long-standing pattern of substandard care is truly unconscionable & utterly disgraceful.

Dr. Bravman is the best Dr. in the World, no... "Universe". Excellent bedside. Answers any/all ?s He is & continues to be very professional. He is very experienced, & highly recommended in his field. BOTH of my Physical Therapists know of his work, & have said, that EVERYONE that comes to them Post surgery from Bravman heals well, & has no bruising! I would recommend him to anyone. He went over my MRI results w/me in detail, & let me know every step of the process pre/post. I have healed extremely well. He removed a huge obstruction (Tumor) in my right knee. I was in pretty immense pain almost 15 yrs... Started to wake me up in middle of night, ect. I'm very healthy otherwise. He cured me, he pretty much gave me my life back. Took the pain AWAY, & I'll never forget him. He is Quite Simply, "The Best". He is my Hero. Thx Doc Bravman. *BTW, his team soooo professional, very knowledgeable caring & kind ppl ALL of them, also the anesthesiologist...

I had a total Shoulder Replacement on July 6, 2020. The surgery went superbly well, the recovery has been ahead of schedule and excellent. My range is 120% of what it was before and no pain. Dr. Bravman exceeded my expectations (which were very high) in every way. He is competent, professional, courteous, helpful, knowledgeable and very interested. I have been more than pleased.

Dr. Bravman. Albeit an interesting doc, took 8 days to return a phone call from me following an MRI appointment. I was told there was no operation that could heal my injury. I was uninformed and was vaguely communicated to about the seriousness of my injury. This doctor is way too busy, but seems knowledgeable. My condition has severely worsened and I wish his staff would've returned my email in a promptly manner. Average experience. CU sports medicine- over crowded, annoying staff

Brilliant surgeon! Demonstrated a genuine concern at every level of my treatment. Friendly, kind, caring and approachable. I feel extremely fortunate for having had him perform my should hemiarthroplasty. One regret: my inability to clone him -_-

Dr. Bravman is not only a skilled surgeon, but he is compassionate and caring. And, if that is not enough, he has a sense of humor and smiles a lot. I feel very fortunate to have had him as the surgeon to perform my rotator cuff surgery.
