Patient Reviews
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. Didn’t 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
ORA is a great facility… They care about their patients… And they always have the best interest of your health in mind… Dr. Bries does a great job explaining your individual situation so that you understand exactly what is going on…. I trust ORA with all of my health care needs…Val K

I appreciate professional behavior and knowledgeable doctors. Doctor Bries gets too marks in both accounts.
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.
Fantastic to work with. Compassionate and understanding as well as a consummate professional.
Dr Bries and his staff are wonderful! Takes his time and explains everything so you understand.
Dr. Bries is always efficient, friendly , knowledgeable and terrific. I am trusting him with my health! Nurse Katie is fabulous!
I have been very satisfied working with Dr Bries so far. He explains everything in a language that is easy to understand. This makes it so much easier to make decisions regarding my care. ❤️
Excellent
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 couldn’t 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. It’s going to be a long recovery because how massive they said the injury was. I can’t thank Dr Bries, Megan Wulf PA-C and all who take care of me enough. My follow up’s with Megan have been great. She’s 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. I’ve 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 surgery’s 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 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
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
Dr Bries and Dr Peter very good and understanding to your needs. The front desk very efficient and quick in their roles Thank you

Person I talked to was very nice
I’ve been through several surgeries with Dr. Bries - 2 shoulder replacements, a knee replacement, and carpal tunnel surgery. I always feel I’m in good hands with Dr. Bries. Besides performing successful surgeries, he is a caring doctor, always taking the time to answer all of my questions. He sits directly in front of me making full eye contact, as he discusses my issues and concerns. His bedside manner is top-notch. I have recommended him to several friends and they agree!
Very informative clean environment and very friendly.
Megan Wulf and Dr Bries are the best at orthopaedics. They are always professional and courteous. Wouldn't trust my knees to with anyone else.
He was very thorough with his explanation about what the next steps are for my knee to get better.
Took the time to explain all options, drew pictures and wrote things down Made sure everything was fully understood Just excellent all around experience.
Dr Bries has performed four surgeries on me. What most impresses me about Dr Bries is his willingness to listen. He pulls his chair up in front of me to check out results and then answers all of my questions, and then verifies he has answered them all, no matter how many I have! I have highly recommended him to others. He is very personable and truly shows he cares about how I am doing.
Dr. Bries always listens to my concerns and works with me to provide the best orthopedic care and solutions for my specific problem.
Very efficient. Very satisfied
Very thorough with explanation of what the situation and next process is. Showed empathy and understanding would highly recommend anyone to his care!!!
Great place; the staff- the best ever. The 2nd time here: rt knee done dec 20 the last year,did lt knee this year, no complaints would recommend to anyone.
I was very impressed with the way he explained my options and that he took time to answer any questions and stayed until we were comfortable about everything. From entry to exit was very comforting.
I very much appreciated Dr. Bries squeezing me into his schedule yesterday!! Very thorough and gave me my much needed cortisone shot. His nurse, I'm sorry I can't remember her name, is an absolute sweetheart!! Thanks again for taking top notch care of your patients!! Highly recommend ORA!!

Very good appointment. Dr Bries was very helpful as was his nurse.
The entire office here is wonderful to work with. Dr. Bries is personable and very helpful. His PA was also great, as was his nurse. I'm also self-pay, because of the type of insurance coverage i have, and their billing office helped me get everything I needed to submit myself for reimbursement. Overall a great experience.
