I was having extreme pain in my hand. I had dealt with this for the past three months and it was getting worse, with my finger popping and locking in a bent position. Dr. Brotherton knew exactly what was causing it and it was addressed that day. That was in mid-November and I am still pain free today. I’m thrilled with the results.

Excellent medical attention from both the specialist, Dr. Brotherton and all the medical staff members. I was very pleased with the treatment options that were presented to me, and I look forward to continuing follow ups for optimal results. Thank you!
Excellent. Dr Brotherton successfully replaced my right shoulder 5 years ago and my left one in August. I have full confidence in him and his staff. I also think his physical therapy team is great.
DR brotherton and his staff are very friendly and knowledgeable regarding anything orthopedic. I've needed them quite a few times over the last few years and they fixed my problems skillfully.
Answered all my questions, very helpful and his technician was very pleasant also checked my leg brace for slipping
Well organized and Courteous staff. Over all a very positive experience.
Couldn't be more pleased with all aspects of his office, especially the outcome of the surgery.
When interviewing potential surgeons to do my rotator cuff surgery, Dr. Brotherton was extremely informative about the entire process from surgery to rehab. He took the time to listen and reply to my questions. His manner projected his professionalism. That sold me.
Dr Brotherton did a great job of explaining the damage in my shoulder. Post-Op, he showed me multiple images created during the surgery. While I didn't fully understand the images, he explained the sequence of my repair, telling me that my injury was extensive, but repairable. I recommend Dr Brotherton as an excellent choice for an orthopedic surgeon.
Excellent. Very professional.
