Dr. Brearly is so knowledgeable and experienced. In my appointment to review my MRI, he took all of the urgency and anxiety and just disposed of it. He gave me his opinions and wanted my thoughts. I felt much better leaving his office than when I had arrived there.

Thank you for the honesty - surgery is only 50/50 success.

Recent to this area - never had an orthopedic need until now - Dr. Brearley had read my x-ray, had an action plan for a hard long-arm cast and his nursing assistant Miriam did that. Thankful I did not require surgery and this Dr. knew exactly what to do quickly and efficiently.

BREALEY has been wonderful in his care for me. I have had to go to him for 6 different problems I have had surgery from my shoulder to my thumb with no pain years after. His personality is warm and kind. Keep up the great care you do and have for your patience.

Dr. Brearley took plenty of time talking with me. Answered all my questions and 'then some'! I didn't feel pressured and rushed. The conversation was very comfortable.
