Dr Bramlett did an excellent job. I would highly recommend Dr Bramlett taking care of your needs, I had rotator cuff surgery fixing a tear, removed bone spur, plus cleaning out my bursitis which was bad. I am 2 weeks after surgery and doing great. If needing an orthopedic Dr Bramlett is my Dr for now on. Thank you Dr Bramlett and staff.

I had delayed my knee replacement because I had heard that it was a brutal surgery with excessive pain and a long recovery period. None of this is true with the amazing Dr Bramlett!! Dr Bramlett has perfected his procedure and recovery exercises. I walked out of surgery with minimal pain. I was walking normally within 5 days. I am so excited to walk without pain. I have scheduled the other knee surgery.Thank you Dr Bramlett for giving me my mobility back and a better quality of life!!

I personally cannot be more honored to call Dr. Bramlett my orthopedic surgeon. He is very well known. I’ve met people in the waiting room that I’ve traveled from all over just to get his service. In my opinion he is got to be the best in the south.

Been going to see Dr. Bramlett for 25+ years. He has done replacements now on both my knees. Given me back my quality of life and helped me to keep doing my job and things I love. Would recommend him to anyone. Just do exactly what he tells you! In two months after my last replacement, I was hiking in the National Parks again. Very happy!
