Dr. Brotherton listens and is very professional and medically knowledgeable. He did an excellent job of replacing my severe end stage osteoarthritic knee which was due to 46 years of working as a major airline baggage handler thaShow moret was reported and diagnosed as cumulative repetitive trauma. I’m now hoping that Sedgwick will pay for my other knee and both shoulders to be replaced. The doctor is personable, thoroughly explained medically what was happening with my shoulders and knees after diagnosing them as well as before and after surgery as to what to expect. The staff at Orthopedic Specialist are very courteous and helpful especially Christine, the surgery coordinator. After I first saw Dr.Brotherton for a few visits, I knee that I come to the right place. Based on my experience I can certainly give my recommendation.
Dr Brotherton has a wonderful bedside manner. He gives straight forward responses to questions and speaks in a manner that is easy to understand, without sounding condescending. His office is efficiently run. The staff members areShow more personable and professional. I would strongly recommend this practice to anyone with any orthopedic problems. They have specialty doctors for every ortho related problem.

Dr. Brotherton is the best! No only is he friendly and personable, he’s a great repaired both of my shoulders and when I developed pain in my hand, I knew I needed to have him look at it. I thoroughly trust him and I know my hand will be as good as new with his medical advice and guidance.
Dr. Brotherton and his staff couldn't have been kinder. Very thorough and explained what was happening. I liked that he gave me choices / options. He can highly recommended, and I am not surprised. Most of all, I didn't feel rushed or like a number in the queue. He was easy to talk with.
All the staff are courteous and very nice. Check in is always prompt and the wait time is very short. Dr Brotherton has managed a number of injuries I have had. I have total trust in him.
DR. Brotherton has worked on me from time to time resolving different issues. In my book he is a Serious 10 when it comes to practicing his craft.
Dr. Brotherton & the staff are professional, thorough & caring
I thought I was limping and had leg pain from my surgery, but they took an x-ray of my back when I described the pain. I forgot about my L4-5 issue because it has not reared its ugly head in a long time! Moving on to lumbar spine therapy!
I'm a first time patient. I was very impressed with the staff including the front desk, the nurses, the x-ray tech, Dr. B and Kristina who scheduled my upcoming surgery with very precise information.
Dr Brotherton has a wonderful bedside manner. He gives straight forward responses to questions and speaks in a manner that is easy to understand, without sounding condescending. His office is efficiently run. The staff members are personable and professional. I would strongly recommend this practice to anyone with any orthopedic problems. They have specialty doctors for every ortho related problem.
On time & very efficient and kind.
Very knowledgeable, caring and a great doctor.
Great personality and knowledge with excellent clinical skills
Dr. Brotherton is the greatest in every way! And CURES my shoulder pain!
I feel like we are working together as a team. I tend towards holistic and self directed healing practices with him in a coaching role while not letting me stray very far. It's working for me.
Excellent communication, skills proficient, and quick
I am 4 months from my meniscus surgery and over $6000.00 out of pocket with zero results. I am absolutely no better than before I had surgery. Mobility and pain are no better than before but worse. I am extremely disappointed. To top it all off, at one of my follow ups he said, I would be a good candidate for PRP injections. Why in the world that wasn't offered to me before surgery.
I was taken back by the diagnosis so I’m a little lose for words.
Dr. Brotherton and his staff provided a positive experience. Dr. Brotherton was kind, patient, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything clearly while making me feel comfortable and cared for. The entire staff was warm and welcoming. I would highly recommend Dr. Brotherton and his team to anyone looking for outstanding orthopedic care. M. Rhoden

Very well managed office. I have had both shoulders successfully replaced and find Dr Brotherton to be kind, caring and attentive. I highly recommend him and his staff.
Very thoughtful, caring, and nice.
Dr Brotherton is an excellent doctor who does a great job in the operating room and post-op as well. Explains things very well and takes the time to make sure you understand the procedure and how many doctors have flowers waiting for you when you come in for surgery! Highly recommend.
