Dr. Bries and his nurse Katie are fantasti! They were kind, professional and very thorough. He was kind enough to squeeze me in and went over all my options, drawing pictures, reviewing my MRI and writing notes that I was able to take home. He seems detail oriented and took the time to learn what activities are important to me to return to and how we can best achieve that.

I have been a regular patient for the past year starting with a Miniscus tear that led to a Femoral Osteotomy followed by a Maci Procedure and ending with a hardware removal and knee manipulation. This journey has been hard but I have always felt heard by Dr Bries and his staff. He takes time to explain things and gives great care to his patients.

Dr. Bries and his team were great. They’ve worked with for the past few years after my shoulder injury and coordinated with my ORA PT as I tried to strengthen my shoulder min-surgically. Unfortunately, the exercises have only been able to get me so far, so now we’re headed in another direction - towards arthroscopic surgery. But Dr. Bries and his team walked me through the whole thing and I’m confident we’re doing the right thing.

I came into the walk in clinic after a shoulder injury. Had xrays done and saw a PA there. After discussion and the assessment of my shoulder, we decided to move forward with a MRI. A MRI was scheduled that day for a couple weeks later and appt was scheduled with Dr. Bries for a few days after my MRI to go over my results. At the appt, my results were discussed and throughly explained on options and recommendations. Felt surgery was the best option to fix the damage done. Dr. Bries was amazing from that appointment through surgery and follow ups. All the staff through the entire process and experience have been awesome. I'm glad I decided to come here. Thank you all!!
