Patient Reviews
Overall I am very satisfied with the service provided by the facility and the staff. I was disappointed that when I checked in that they didnβt let me know that they were 60-90 minutes behind schedule.
Dr. Bries has done surgery on both of my shoulders. Excellent results both times. His staff is highly professional. I recommend him highly.
Dr. Bries is always attentive, thorough and kind. He has replaced both my knees and I've had great success with them. He has seen me for a few other minor things and his bed side manner is great!
Dr Bries and his staff did a wonderful job with everything from the diagnosis all the way through the surgery. I couldn't be more pleased with the experience and the outcome that I received.
Very considerate and courteous. Explains necessity of upcoming operation with clarity, and gives you time to think it out.
Great understanding and great people. Dr Bries and his staff are top of the world.
Dr. Bries provided very helpful information about by knee issue. He provided several great ideas to prevent the pain and options to improve my condition.
Dr. Brees always listens to concerns and answers all of my questions. He gives me time to make decisions and is very knowledgeable.
I appreciate Dr. Bries fitting me in to his busy schedule to give me an injection so I can feel better on my trip out of town.
Dr. Bries service was excellent. He fixed my shoulder and I have healed great. He responds in a timely manner. Very gentle, and he made me feel comfortable during the whole process.
Dr. Bries, saw my 15 year old daughter for a dislocated knee and he was very kind and informative. He treated her with respect and made her feel like she knew what was going on at all times and she had a decision in her treatment and how soon she could get back to softball. I would highly recommend Dr. Bries, he is one of the best I have seen.
I have been seeing him for 10 years. Everyone in the office r nice. Recommend ORA too all
Very detailed and anwsered all my question
I was seen by Dr. Brees yesterday (10/17/2023 ) at the Bettendorf facility. My wait time was under 15 minutes and I was shown to an examinAtion room where within 10 minutes I saw Dr. Brees. He had me undergo range of motion tests further determining the need for surgical intervention. He explained everything very clearly and concisely. I left feeling confident that he will do an excellent job repairing my body in my up coming surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Brees and the doctors, nurses and staff at ORA.
A nice place& people also. 4star for now, besides having a visit to talk about my problems it's about all I know so far out of five for
Very prompt and very helpful
Andrew Ganshirt, DPM. was very friendly, he answered alot of my questions regarding my injury to my ankle.
Great information on upcoming surgery
Excellent attention to issues, went over multiole options. Decided on surgery for my range of motion in my elbow. Surgery went smooth. Minimal recovery time. Excellent care.
Dr Bries gives great shoots!π
Dr Bries was very professional and courteous. He answered all of my questions and used very clear communication. I was impressed with the level of care and concern from him and his staff. Thank you very much for the excellent care I received!
Dr. Bries has been my doctor for 6 years. Have had a gluteus medius repair, shoulder replacement, & knee replacement. Dr. Bries & his wonderful team I highly recommend. Has always been there for me, answers all my questions, & trust him.
Dr Bries is an amazing surgeon and does a great job at explaining what your issue is, and how he will go about doing the repairs. This will be my third surgery with Dr. Bries. My right shoulder after rotator cuff repair is back to 100%, and I have no doubt that the left will be also. He also called me from his car phone after my first surgery later on that day to see how I was doing. How many patients can say that their surgeon has done that? Kudos to you Dr. Bries. I brag you up every chance I get!
I was very happy with the care I have received at ORA .
Good experience. Dr Bries P.A. Saw me, diagnosed my situation and treated me professionally. She explained their decision and what expect in the future. She was easy to understand and very attentive to my problem.
Short wait time - easy in and out for my fractured finger
Dr. Bries and his staff were professional and seemed genuinely concerned about my issue.
The entire staff is very professional. Dr. Bries is the best. He's done surgery on both of my shoulders. And not your normal surgery. He's extremely talented. From beginning to end He's there to answer questions and make sure you are recovering well. I wouldn't go to any other doctor.

Dr. Bries is a great listener and his customer service is excellent. I felt his explanation of my shoulder issues was clear and any questions I asked were answered clearly. He listened to my point of view and never talk down to me. His staff is excellent and I have nothing but good things to say about them. His team is well trained and helpful. This is my third experience with him in 12 years and I would go back to him again in the future.

Dr. Bries and his staff were so nice and explained everything very well! They listened to what my issues were and had positive feedback for me.

He did a wonderful job on my acl reconstruction and meniscus repair. Left me with no unanswered questions. The healing process is progressing as it should.

The doctors and nurses are amazing at Ora. They've helped me so much over the past few years and are taking very good care of me to ensure that I have a good future.
Broke both bones in my wrist. Dr Bries was caring and professional with how he presented the repair process to my husband and I. When I went back for my two week check up the PA was just as amazing. The two make a great team.
They are very nice and helpful to there patient
Dr. Bries takes the time to thoroughly explain things to you. He listens to what you say and makes sure your questions are answered. He has a great bedside manner.
Dr. Bries is a very caring doctor that explains everything on the MRI that needs to be done to fix the problem.. My surgery went very well and he called the night after surgery to see how I was doing.
Wonderful staff and Dr Bries is awesome! Everyone has been great through my knee surgery.
Dr. Bries and his team are amazing. He was easy to get in to see, great with my 5 year old son who just broke his humerus and easy to talk with. The nurses have been very nice and talked my son through what would happen and then when he got his 1st cast cut off they talked him through everything first so he wouldn't be scared. We were even able to get an aqua cast to finish out our remaining weeks so he can enjoy summer. One very excited boy and thankful mom!!

Surgery was fast and simple. Dr Bries is a fantastic surgeon. Any other joint work I might need in the future will be done by ORA.

Reviewed why I was there and then explained that Dr. Bries would be in shortly. Dr Bries came in and was very friendly and through in explaining that my knee had responded well with the first shot and a second shot should work as well.

Dr Brieβs was great. Very quick to get me in and repair my pectoral tear. Told me everything right up front exactly what the recovery time would be and we got started. Thanks to him I will have no long lasting effect of the injury.
ORA Rocks!!! Great result, easy recovery! Could not wait to have second shoulder done!
Excellent surgeon and support staff. Katie RN especially helpful and responsive. At times difficult to get an office visit scheduled in a timely manner.
Excellent and prompt care! Very impressed with this ORA and Dr. Bries.
Dr. Andrew Briese is very easy to talk to and explains procedures in a way that is easy to understand.His demeanor gives you confidence in his outstanding abilities.
Caring, professional. Speaks in a manner you will understand what exactly is going on and why it's happening. Couldn't ask for a better surgeon!
Friendly staff, thorough examination and explanations, didnβt feel rushed, and received optimal care. Iβve heard great things about Dr. Bries, and his patient-care was excellent.
I went in for my knee, he ended up fixing a finger too.
Dr Bries was who we went to for my sons second opinion for his elbow. He found out right away what was wrong with him after the 1st Dr wasn't sure. He checked on him the next day after surgery to see if he was doing ok.
Have had good results with Ora for both me and my son in the past and all staff is very polite and great to work with
Dr. Bries was great. He introduced himself as Andy. This was a follow up to a knee injury on a knee that was replaced 6 yrs ago. I was seen the first time in urgent care. Andy checked out the knee to make sure all was well and healed. Then he spent time talking about what I could be doing better for it. Iβm a gym gal but kind of baby it. He encouraged me to do more strength training and less impact exercise. I loved this, as thatβs what I prefer. He encouraged me to try a bike again. I had given up on this years ago, since my knee wouldnβt bend enough. Dr. Andy said I could do it and I should try again. That day I left his office, went straight to the gym, and was able to ride the recumbent bike. I was shocked! I just needed a kick in the pants, I guess. No more treadmill for me!! Lifting lots of weights, also. Thanks Dr. Andy!! Stacie Chambers
I broke my clavical bone in a car accident he has worked through each step of what has been needed. The surgeries have been amazing. If you need shoulder area work he is proficient and very caring.
I been going to Bries for a while. He is a great doctor. Explains everything so that you can understand what is going on with your body. Is very helpful. He has helped me with my shoulders an knee. Glad that I have him for a doctor.
6 month follow up . Met with PA Megan Wulf. She did an outstanding job. Very informative with my problem. Took time to answer my questions and determined the next course of action. Highly recommended.
Very little wait time before seeing Dr Bries. Staff was friendly. Dr Bries and his staff listened to my concerns and provided detailed information about my needed procedure. Would definitely recommend.
