Dr Bries helped me before with a shoulder & biceps injury and did a great job. So I asked to see him for my hip pain. He listened, examined my hip movements and ultimately gave me an injection. Iβm very optimistic it will help remove/eliminate pain. Good guy and doctor!
Dr Bries explained the shoulder MRI and the current state of my rotator cuff in complete detail. He gave all the options to deal with this situation. He was very impressive in answering all questions and fully informing me of my choices. I'm glad he will be my surgeon.
I was very happy with the information Dr. Bries provided regarding my bone on bone knee. Very detailed asking me questions, answering my questions, and providing information as to a plan of action. Very thankful.
Very good, the nurses and doctors assistant want to help you and give you the best care in a timely mannor.
A real great doctor, very personable, listens to what say, explains everything in great detail and truly cares about your best interests and getting your life back on track ππ
I especially want to thank Angie from ORAs DME who took all the time needed to make it more comfortable for me in the sarmiento brace Top notch!
The doctor was very pleasant and provided a lot of information that the previous doctor did not.
Dr. Bries and his staff are very professional and caring. I had a total knee and was surprised at how good I felt after surgery. Therapists and friends all thought it was a great recovery, they wanted to know my secret. No secret just an excellent surgeon. I canβt say enough about Dr Bries and his skill as a surgeon. Five stars all around!
Had been suffering from a bilateral hip issue. Dr. Bries knew what it was on my very 1st appointment. Even after feeling better they took the time to still see me to make sure I continued to feel better. I was happy with the communication and knowledge from both him & his PA.

Very friendly staff. Explained situation based on what they currently see on xray. MRI will provide more detail to determine path forward. I appreciate Dr. Bries and his .PA. Very knowledgeable and professional.
Always very kind and informative.
Dr. Bries and his staff are very knowledgeable and compassionate. I had to have X-rays and several of the positions that my leg had to be in were extremely painful. His staff was there with me the whole time making sure I was doing okay. Dr. Bries took time to answer my questions in terms that I and my family could understand. We discussed the treatment plan going forward again in terms that were clear. Iβm so glad I decided to go to ORA
Dr. Bries repaired my R knee patella tendon in 2024. I was able to gain full range of motion, function and strength.
Doctor saw me quickly, we discussed conditions, and he gave me a Cortisone shot which helped significantly!
Very happy with Dr. Bres. Overall surgery appointments are on time and prompt. Gives good info and direction.
He's very good, Dr. Easy to understand and showed picture of my right knee and explained clearly.
Dr. Bries has taken of me for over 15 years. He's a very kind and compassionate doctor. He's done surgery on my arm, elbow, knee, all of them being on my left side. I just think the world of him! Ask for Dr. Bries when you need an orthopedic doctor.
Very knowledgeable and efficient!
Dr. Andrew Bries had reviewed the x-rays of my knees and confirmed they both have arthritis. We are going to take a step by step process ending in a possible knee replacement. Dr. Bries was very thorough and right up front with my situation. I was very pleased with his professionalism.
I came into the walk in clinic after a shoulder injury. Had xrays done and saw a PA there. After discussion and the assessment of my shoulder, we decided to move forward with a MRI. A MRI was scheduled that day for a couple weeks later and appt was scheduled with Dr. Bries for a few days after my MRI to go over my results. At the appt, my results were discussed and throughly explained on options and recommendations. Felt surgery was the best option to fix the damage done. Dr. Bries was amazing from that appointment through surgery and follow ups. All the staff through the entire process and experience have been awesome. I'm glad I decided to come here. Thank you all!!
Love Dr. Bries and his staff - Meghan and Katie. They always listen and give you the time you need to get your questions answered. The only problem I have is that he is so popular that getting in to see him can be a monthβs wait or more. Once there, however, itβs great.
Was very satisfied w/ my apppointment. My only problem was getting a 3 mth appt at the desk. She insisted it was a 6-8 wk appt & I was told 3 mth & had a cortisone shot & will have PT.
Our experience with Dr. Bries was exceptional. Always looked out for the patientβs best interest.
Very thorough and a great bedside manner. I knew exactly what to expect the whole way through.
Dr Bries was very professional and accommodating. Would recommend him anytime.
Dr. Bries and ORA are top notch. I have been battling with a hip issue for quite some time. Dr. Bries and staff took the time to listen, evaluate and diagnose the issue. I was then given all options for treatment. They are very caring, understanding and put your best interests first. I highly recommend the professionalism of Dr. Bries and the staff at ORA.
Dr Bries was great. Answered all my questions. Didnβt push the subject of surgery. We came up with plan and the results made a huge difference
Nice guy.
Very helpful explaining what my surgery will be like
Dr Bries was very caring and compassionate. I have a problem with my shoulder area he is ordering tests to find out what is wrong.

Appreciated the quick overview and recommendations. Good job
I was pleasantly surprised and impressed by Dr. Breis. He explained every thing and he could tell I was reluctant about surgery. He assured me he would take very good care of me. And he said it twice. I know I made the right choice.
I recommend Dr Bries to anyone he has an amazing staff and has an amazing talent . I had a full knee replacement his assistants and nurses treated me like I was the only one being seen . 5 stars forever for this man and his staff.

Great guy and didnt miss a beat!!!
Working with Andrew has been a great experience. He explains everything thoroughly, his instructions are clear, & gets results! I went to him while recovering from shoulder surgery, and was so impressed that I requested him again when another physical therapy need arose. I highly recommend him.
As always, great patient care. Clearly defines the issue and explains options.
Perfectly friendly and professional
All involved were very Well-versed in their practice.
This past June 2nd I had shoulder surgery with Dr Bries & Megan Wulf PA-C. I was in pain 24/7 and at the point I couldnβt lift my arm. Two surgeons told me I needed a reverse shoulder replacement. Even though I was told it was a massive injury, Dr Bries said he could fix it without doing a replacement surgery. I am now pain free. Itβs going to be a long recovery because how massive they said the injury was. I canβt thank Dr Bries, Megan Wulf PA-C and all who take care of me enough. My follow upβs with Megan have been great. Sheβs pretty straightforward, which is what I want from my surgeon. I highly recommend them if you ever need a shoulder surgery.
Pre surgery during and after surgery has been amazing!!!! I appreciate all Dr Bries has done for my shoulder. I would recommend him to anyone.
If you need shoulder surgery. Andrew Bries,M.D. Is your go to. l had T.S.R. I woke up no pain . No pain at 7 weeks out and therapy been pretty good so far. I go to ORA On N.W.Blvd
Dr. Bries and Megan is the best!!
It was my first visit seeing Dr Bries. He was very professional, asked all the questions and listened intently to my answers. Took his time and I felt heard.
Always a great experience.
Very great place and staff. Got me in when no other ora would and got me back moving without pain. Best place ever!!! Thank you all for being amazing!!!
The staff was friendly and Dr Bries understood my concerns for my daughter.
Dr. Bries made my son feel comfortable and explained everything very clearly about his injury and options.
I have seen Dr Bries for 3 separate shoulder problems over the past 7 years. Iβve had surgery, a referral to physical therapy, and a steroid injection. Each time he made an accurate diagnosis and recommended a successful treatment. I highly recommend him.
Very fast, friendly and professional.
ORA staff are very friendly and supportive. My provider took time to explain what the problem is and established a treatment plan with me not for me.
Very thankful for the patient care from Dr Bries over the last couple of years of treatment. I have been treated for multiple issues and have had a couple surgeryβs and I am extremely pleased with the outcome. I have had shoulder surgery, forearm surgery and now being treated for my hip. He is a fantastic Dr. with amazing team. Highly recommend.
Best experience ever βββββ
Dr. Bries has been with me through 2 total shoulders, a total knee, and a total hip. He has kept me active and pursuing all my physical activities without limitations. He instills trust in his patient and appreciates the fact that he explains the issues to me in engineering terms, as I am an engineer.His staff, Katie and Megan, are always so helpful in getting me in when a problem arises. Fortunately, today it was just a nasty lumbar strain. I was stressed, and I had either the other hip or knee issues. He assured me that with just some physical therapy, I'd be fine.I just can't say enough good things about Dr. Bries and his staff. I highly recommend them to anyone.Thanks,Rob
