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.

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

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!

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 and his staff sincerely care about my condition and listens to my concerns. He has provided me excellent treatments for pain in my knee and shoulders. He had to do extensive surgery on my left shoulder years ago and I had great results. Got full use of my shoulder & arm afterwards. My right shoulder is needing surgery soon, and I trust his skill to also do an exceptional surgery on that one.

Had to take 87 year old Mother in for crippling hip pain. They did X-rays and we chose to give her a cortisone shot (her first). She is pain free for now. It has given her more stability walking, standing, and getting up from her recliner. It gives her a better quality of life, even if it is a temporary fix.
