Very friendly and helpful with every part of the process and the staff was wonderful!
Explain explained everything in detail and answered all my questions
This was my first time going to Dr. Andrew Bries, and I was very satisfied. He did a good job answering my questions and concerns about shoulder pain I still have after having a reversed shoulder replacement performed by a different surgeon about a year ago. I had forgotten to ask him a couple of questions, and he came back in to answer those which amazed me! By the time I left my appointment we had a plan to try to help lessen the pain.

Very nice staff. The only thing is I waited quite awhile to be seen.
Dr. Bries answered all our questions/concerns very patiently.
Love Doctor Bries! First saw him in 2013 for torn meniscus in left knee. He did a fine repair and all has been well with the knees since then. Saw him as well in 2016 for some tendinitis in shoulders. Got that under control and fast forward to now I just saw him for right shoulder pain. Diagnosed as a rotator cuff tear. Prescribed physical therapy which starts tomorrow. Highly recommend Doctor Bries as he is very professional, cordial, as well as having a sense of humor.
Great Doctor! Truly puts health care first
So far Dr Bries has been very informative and professional. I have to assume that will continue throughout this process, thanks!
Dr. Bries is the best! He was my daughter's Dr./Surgeon for her meniscus surgery and now working with her ankle /foot injury. Got her in quickly, spends the time needed, explains thoroughly and doesn't rush. Highly recommend!
Everyone was very friendly and explained everything clearly.
Dr. Bries is an awesome and caring doctor. I love his bed side manner and his knowledge of his medical practice is amazing 🤩! I’m blessed to have him as my ORA doctor.

Thank you for well arranged appointment. It was well carried out, explained and encouraged for further improvement and healing of my foot and ankle. We will visit your clinic in 20 days for hopefully full ‘graduation’ I.e. conclusion and return to normal health of my ankle
My experience with Dr. Bries has been absolutely amazing. He takes his time to evaluate and is very professional. 10 out of 10 recommendation.
everything is great. They have been very patient And kind 4 Many years taking care of me Looking forward to Getting the surgery Done and feeling better, doctor bries and his staff are awesome....thanks ora
Was great with my daughter and very thorough
I ended up becoming a transferring patient for Dr. Bries. His team and himself were ready and prepared with all the answers and concerns about my surgery. They were very clear and communicative and straight to the point with my final diagnosis, risks, complications, what to expect, and was happy to answer any questions I had. I definitely feel comfortable in having my surgery preformed by him and his team as they dealt with my case as quickly, efficiently, and effectively as possible. They were attentive when it came to communicating and if I have any concerns I have no problems reaching out and getting answers. I just felt understood and like my case was important to them just as much as getting better is for me. RESPONSE UPDATE: I went in for my pre opt appointment and the assistant was absolutely amazing to talk with. Meeting Dr. Bries and his team as they took over my case so swiftly it only took two appointments to know I was in good hands. The pain was consistent and of course I’m still recovering, the new pain that comes with surgery is the healing kind as it feel right again instead of the one that pains my whole arm down to my fingers. As of now I feel comfortable with having Dr. Bries and his team with any other cases for the future and if need be, for my children as well. The surgery was successful and done so swiftly that now I’m excited and hopeful once again to be able to do normal things eventually again like picking up my toddler. I could not recommend Dr. Bries and his team more!
Meaghan speaks my language which I really appreciate.
He’s the best surgeon that I have had, he was in contact from start to finish. He’s very knowledgeable , my shoulder feels a lot better.
Dr. Bries was very personable and thorough in explaining everything to me. I felt HEARD!
Was on time as schedule, also asked if I had any questions about what he was doing. He was very polite with me and my wife.
Outstanding Doctor and associates
Dr Bries has taken excellent care of my son. We were absolutely terrified when surgery became necessary to fix his problem. Our minds were set at ease during our consultation with Dr Bries. He took great care to make sure we understood all of the information regarding his condition as well as treatment options.
Dr Bries has been helping me with my knee for the past couple years. He has been a great help throughout.
Dr. Bries and his assistant Megan are great!! I love their bedside manner.
Great job great help much appreciated
Very well informed, easy to discuss options with.
Dr.Bries is an outstanding surgeon. And ORA is amazing organization. If you see the star ratings that tells it all.
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 didn’t 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 does a good job of explaining procedure with minimal prompting. He and his staff are pleasant and professional. Only negative was my appointment was scheduled at 9:20 and it was closer to 10:20 before I was called to the back.
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 (1/30/2024 ) 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 X-rays for my left shoulder. He performed a series of range of motion tests further to determine how well I was healing. Additionally, he had me do several resistance tests to determine how strong my left shoulder was. He has done anexcellent job replacing my left shoulder. I am in physical therapy now and progressing well. 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!👍
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 awesome to work with

Dr. Bries has been excellent from the beginning! From our initial consultation in the emergency room, through surgery and our follow up care after our daughter fell at gymnastics and broke her arm.
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.
