Went in for a meniscus tear but upon orthroscopy found it was something else (plica) which was repaired. After 2 months feeling better & stronger but still have some post-surgery symptoms and pain. Dr Brand seems knowledgeable but not realistic which was frustrating for me- he told me "Id be on a bike in 3 days" after surgery.. Absolutely NOT. I was very fit before, and only 6-7 wks post-op could I begin any type of strength training again. 4 weeks on a bike with no resistance and moving as slow as a turtle hurt. I wish he was more realistic about recovery- also had no follow up whatsoever besides online surveys.

Wonderful care by an outstanding physician. Dr. Brand was very clear about explaining my issue and my surgery went incredibly well. Am back to jogging and yoga and couldn't be happier.

Dr. Brand is very knowledgeable in his field, and the surgery was without complications. I followed his instructions exactly and healing progressed as he described. I would highly recommend Dr. Brand.

No bedside manner AT ALL. Surgery went okay but not. Appointments are quick.

1st visit with doctor and his bedside manner was not the best. Felt very rushed. Humor very dry and at times insulting. Didn't explain things clearly regarding my diagnosis. His staff did not return any of my calls to confirm cancellation. i will never go back there.

Dr. Brand is an awesome doctor. He has treated me several times for injuries due to an accident. His dry humor and shy demeanor combine to make a memorable visit. I highly recommend him any orthopedic issues.
