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.

Dr Jelen is terrific. He explains medical information in a way that is easily understood. I appreciate his genuine care and compassion. The PRP injections in my hip provided amazing relief. I felt extremely confident with Dr. Jelen’s experience and confidence in this area.

Friendly and Compassionate Care
Dr. Jelen and his physician Denise both have decades of experience and excellent bedside manner and put the patient at ease. My teen son has seen Dr. Jelen at both OI Northwest and OI Brownsburg. The appointment moves quickly and efficiently. I've heard good things from 2 other families about Dr. Jelen. One neighbor had hip surgery and highly recommended Dr. Brad Jelen. We may be looking at surgery as well depending on MRI Arthrogram results. My neighbor said we'd be in good hands with him.

In December of 2023, Dr. Jelen performed surgery on my left hip to repair a torn tendon. I have had this pain for several years, and seen a few other doctors before being referred to him. I am very thankful he took the time to find my problem. Dr Jelen, his PA, Denise, and all his staff are all wonderful people. He is very professional, with a little bit of humor thrown in there, and makes you fill very comfortable. If you ever need a good Orthopedic doctor, I highly recommend Dr. Jelen.

Dr. Jelen was very personable and very knowledgeable about my issues with my hip/pinched nerve. He listened to what I had to say and performed some examinations (after x-rays). He did not suggest surgery, shots or pain medications. He prescribed physical therapy. I thought this was wonderful.

How can you say anything bad about this guy ? He’s nice , thorough and this is his specialty ! My hip is SO much better ! My pain is gone ! My only complaint is my pain wasn’t controlled well post op but he did approve a refill on my medication and would have given me something stronger if I would have asked. He’s awesome so let him do your surgery with confidence !!

My experience visiting Dr. Jelen was excellent. He spent time talking through my history and my diagnosis. He showed me my imaging and talked me through why he was drawing certain conclusions. The time he took, care and attention was unprecedented compared to other doctors. He did not seem rushed at all. Also, he has great bedside manor. I could not have been more pleased with my visit to Dr. Jelen.
