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.

Epitome of what every physcian should be
I have been seeing Dr. Bray for about 15-20 years and would prefer he NEVER retire until I transition. He is so caring and such an excellent and skilled physician. He has operated on my ankle for a Haglund's deformity with great success and did not even have to cut the Achilles tendon. He repaired three torn menisci on my R knee, also with great success. He is controlling any further issues now with cortisone injections. I highly recommend Dr. Bray. He is also the physician of record for several of my friends who also praise his skill and great patient rapport.

Excellent care!
I saw Dr. Bray at ROC in Carson City. He and the staff were friendly and professional and took great care of me and my broken toe. I look forward to returning there soon to get care for another issue. Highly recommend!

Excellent and Timely Service
Went to ROC express because GP could not see me until Feb 2024! Went to discuss swollen knee.Fastest urgent care visit I have ever had. All staff were friendly and professional. Was seen within minutes of arrival, had initial discussion with assistant, x-rays done 10 minutes later, reviewed by Dr Bray shortly after that. Completed visit in under an hour. Follow-up scheduled within next 10-14 days!

Still the best
He does not take a lot of time with patients and doesn't need to. Some patients will think as communications could be better but trust his expertise. He will take excellent care of you.

Empathetic and efficient
While my prior out of state Orthopod didn't send the images they said they had, this office got that accomplished fairly quickly and accompanied me back to my room. Dr Bray listened to the story of my journey and didn't give up on finding me answers.

Lucky me…
I saw Dr. Bray at Roc Xpress urgent care. I feel fortunate that he was the doctor that I spoke with. He was very knowledgeable, informative, professional and addressed all my questions. And he even showed me my x-rays and pointed out the issues. I felt very comfortable with him, he had a great bedside manner and put me at ease right away the moment he walked in the door. Great smile and a handshake! That works. 5+ stars for Dr. Brae!

Knee evaluation
My wife and I have been patients of Dr. Bray since 1998, two knees a partial hip and a full hip between us. No better doctor out there to provide incredible results with complete success and no further issues.

Good urgent care Dr.
I saw Dr. Bray at ROC express. He was professional and to the point with a bit of a sense of humor. He appreciated my dismay at actually having broken 2 bones in my ankle. Good visit , good information , answered all of my questions. Quick visit but I didn’t feel rushed. I left feeling very informed.

Dr Bray is FANTASTIC!!!
I had a crazy Heli ski accident in UT and had to be operated on there but required a surgeon locally to me in Reno who could provide an excellent level of sustained care as well as physical therapy. Dr Bray came very highly recommended by my operating surgeon, in fact, he insisted on him! And I am so glad that Dr Bray was able to take me on. The level of care, expertise and compassion he continues to show is outstanding and I couldn’t recommend him enough for complex traumatic ortho and soft tissue injuries. For my DPT, he recommended Channing, a DPT within their organization and she is another reason why I am not only walking but running and skiing 10mo. after such a crazy accident.

Dr Bray (and fellow Dr Lybrand) did ORIF surgery on my segmented, comminuted, very fractured humerus on March 30 2018. Recovery is slow with this type of injury but so far, on track. Have had 2 follow up visits, minimal waiting, very efficient at getting things done (X-rays, staple removal etc). After x-rays and other things done, Dr. Bray saw me right away. Answered all questions in a relaxed manner, not hurried at all. Have also called with questions three times, Judy very helpful.

I feel so fortunate to be Dr. Bray’s patient. He gave me the most current information on my condition so I was able to make an informed decision on whether to have surgery on my knee. He genuinely cares about my pain level and has given me a number of options to gain relief. I trust him and feel confident that he has my best interests at heart. Thank you, Dr. Bray!

Dr. Bray and his staff were above excellent in helping me through my injuries. Always taking the time to explain my options and being there to answer my questions. I was so lucky to get such a great doctor who listened and stuck with me through 3 surgeries and over six years. You’d be so lucky to have this be your orthopedic doctor

You won’t find a better doctor to work with then Dr. Bray. Years of experience, with a very easy demeanor to ask questions, or address concerns with. He listens, and takes the time to throughly explain procedures, expectations and any possible problems.
