Dr. Andrew James Braziel, MD

FABulous Dr! Follow-up is great. Always very thorough in his assessments and diagnoses. Good listener. Takes time with me as his patient.

What I appreciated was his candid straightforward answers to my multiple questions, on Gels, prolotherapy, partial knee replacement, custom personally modeled knee replacements and the Mako robotic procedure. I feel confident entrusting my knee replacement to Dr Braziel

Dr. Braziel is a highly skilled surgeon who takes the time to evaluate your situation and address your concerns. He clearly and easily communicates the surgery and recovery processes. I had the utmost confidence in him going in to my hip surgery and now 6 weeks post op I feel great! I would highly recommend him.

DrBraziel came highly recommended and did not disappoint.He is approachable, engaging, thorough ,professional,ready to answer all questions and concerns with a calming demeanor.As a nurse for many years I’ve had blessing of working with the best physicians in Boston so very discerning about upcoming need for surgical intervention for total knee replacement; I found my surgeon in him and very peaceful about his expertise on a surgical level but also that he was concerned about the whole of me not just my knee!Five stars all the way!!

Dr. Braziel has performed two anterior hip replacements for me, four years apart. Less than 24 hours after my last surgery, I am at home, feeling very good, and on the road to recovery. I even slept last night! Dr. Braziel is approachable, pragmatic, a good listener, and most important, an excellent surgeon with deep experience and the highest credentials who is in the prime of life. I very much appreciated Dr. Braziel's Physician Assistant, Lauren Dolloff, who is warm and very knowledgeable, and who worked with me to keep me informed and answer all my questions. My first surgery was performed at New England Baptist Hospital in Boston, and the second at the NE Baptist Surgical Center in Dedham. Both were excellent. Since Baptist performs only orthopedic surgeries, the experience is in sharp contrast to conventional hospitals -- no crowded emergency rooms, people with infections, or those suffering from uncontrolled psychiatric conditions. The atmosphere is very peaceful, which… helps immensely during what can be a stressful time for many. Another positive: Dr. Braziel's avoidance of general anesthesia and intubation makes recovery time faster with less complications. When I first looked for a surgeon over four years ago, I naively assumed that NE Baptist had something to do with the Baptist religion (not that there's anything wrong with that.) Upon further research, I realized that it is first and foremost one of the finest orthopedic surgery hospitals in the world. When I told the nurse at the Dedham surgical center that I was from MetroWest Boston, she actually seemed a little surprised, the reason being that people travel from all over the country and the planet for surgeries at New England Baptist. If you are looking for a surgeon for your anterior total hip replacement, I highly recommend Dr. Andrew Braziel.

I had a knee replacement done by Dr. Braziel and I couldn't be more grateful for the care I received. The procedure went smoothly, and my recovery was excellent. I am an exercise instructor and personal trainer, so I am very active. I can do everything I did before, only better! I am now getting my other knee replaced and I would only trust him to do the surgery. He did an excellent job, and I highly recommend him to anyone needing a knee replacement.

I recently had my left hip replaced by Dr. Andrew Braziel on March 17, 2026. I am happy to report that my recovery is going very well. I am currently going to outpatient physical therapy and my hip is improving every day. I highly recommend Dr.Braziel and his staff.

Excellent care from start to finish. Dr Braziel came highly recommended and was wonderful to work with.

Dr Braziel is a wonderful doctor. He listened to my concerns and was very thoughtful about responding to my questions directly, by supporting his responses with explaining my x ray imaging to me. I am very pleased with my care plan and look forward to healing!

I just had my 5-yr post op checkup! Dr. Braziel performed a total knee replacement on my right knee 5 years ago. I am so glad I did it! Dr Braziel is an amazing and talented doctor. Prior to surgery he was honest and up front with excellent advice and council that would result is the best possible outcome. He didn't sugarcoat the process or the rehab but told me how to succeed. I am so grateful for the excellent mobility and active life I have back! A heartfelt THANKS to Dr Braziel, Alicia, and his entire surgical and office staff for all of their attention and support throughout the entire process!
