Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

The best of the best!
I've seen Bruce a number of times in the last quarter century. He has always communicated what he is doing as he exams; explains imaging. And tells you with confidence the procedure and expected outcome! Great all around guy too!

My great visit with Dr Holloday
Dr Holloday did surgery several years ago on my left knee. When my right knee popped this past Sunday I knew I was going to see him again. Dr Holloday is very precise in determining what the cause is and the next steps to take. I love his enthusiasm and has great manners for a doctor. Dr Holloday pulls no punches and provide you with the total picture of what needs to transpire. If options are available. He does provide them to you.

took his time
Dr. Holladay has some interesting mannerisms that were a bit distracting, but took time to thoroughly answer all my questions. He listened well and seemed technically competent and emotionally engaged.

Professional an to the point.
Saw Dr. Holladay for the second time this week. Feel very comfortable with him. No knee surgery yet the jel injections seem to be working. But when the time comes he will be my choice.

Impatient and impolite doctor. Don't see him!
Cincy Orthopedic Dr. Bruce R. Holliday. Saw him one time. I will not ever see this doctor again! No bedside manners whatsoever!! Impatient and impolite doctor ever!! I had a MRI done of my right knee for pains. My visit with Dr Bruce R Holladay was terrible experience. Not once ever did he go over my MRI with me!! Instead he asked me if I ever had a standing X-ray. And immediately ordered that be done by his office with in minutes. I was taken back to see Dr Bruce R Holladay for the results of his standing X-ray. He wasn't interested in my prior MRI results at all. His standing X-ray he said didn't show any signs of any tares in the knee. The only thing he said was my right knee had tendernitis. He wasn't interested in my knee problem. He was more interested in getting me out of his office. I wasn't given a follow-up appointment. I was referred to physical therapy by this doctor. Physical therapy service was denied. If I could leave a zero I would. Don't recommend him to noone.

None better than Dr Holladay.
I saw the doctor for some knee pain. I was seen ahead of schedule and treated very cordially by the entire office. Dr. Holladay examined me and gave me a full explanation of the problem and the treatment he proposed.he also explained the next steps he would take depending on the outcome of the treatment I received. He made me feel completely at ease and listened to.

Outstanding Doctor!
The first time I visited Dr. Holladay was nearly 25 years ago. Not only did he take the time to explain why the orthopedic nail in my leg needed to be removed, but he took the time to set the antlers of my 5 year old daughter’s stuffed moose. It was a very kind gesture. She wanted to go with me that day, and I’ve never forgotten how he put us both at ease. His honesty, friendly demeanor and outstanding surgical skills have kept me coming back all these years. I have recommended Dr. Holladay to friends and family, and have always received positive feedback regarding their visit. As I get older, and my knees are no longer cooperating, I know that Dr. Holladay will continue to provide an excellent level of care that will allow me to maintain an active lifestyle.

Most upsetting appointment I've ever had!
For the first time ever I walked out of a doctors office so upset I didn't even stop at the desk to pay. The office manager said I wouldn't be charged and booked me with another doctor. Just saw that my insurance company was charged for the visit and I have an outstanding balance. I went to Dr. Holladay and he wanted to put me on medicine that I was taking. Wanted to give me cortisone shots. I've been doing that. Wanted to give me Jelly shots. Already done. Physical therapy. Been to therapy at four different places, including Their therapy. Then he said we'll do an MRI and walks out. I didn't have a chance to ask anything. Then the manager books me with a NP. She was nice as can be, but then I have to wait another month and a half to see the doctor who is not at the Edgewood office. After posting a review on their site I was told to call the office manager. She never bothered to call back.

The only reason I booked with Dr. Holladay is because he was close to home and had openings soon. I'm so upset and angry. From now on I'll be going to Beacon.

A very personable physician. He explained the care plan very throughly. I could not speak any higher about Dr. Holladay and would recommend him 10/10 times. Definitely visit him if you are able!

One Year Back From Shoulder Surgery!
I asked my VA Orthopedic Surgeon who he would have to perform surgery on his Mother. Without hesitation he said, "Dr. Holladay!" From the first day and every visit up to this one year post-surgery visit, Dr. Holladay has always been a sincere and caring individual. Pre-surgery for my rotator cuff repair, I told him I suffer from PTSD. He called ME a Badass for serving in the Armed Forces and how HE Looked up to US. "I'm going to take good care of you. You're going to be fine, I Promise." I was and still am, thanks to the great work he did, rehabilitation, follow-ups, and just feeling good about everything when I would go to OrthoCincy to see him and his staff. I was seen by other Doctors for my shoulder and It did not go well. I'm Blessed to have made it through those experiences and to have Dr. Holladay make it right. You will not find a better Team of Professionals in this Region than OrthoCincy. Get it Done Right the first time!
