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.

Great caring doctor
Very nice and very professional

Dislocated Kneecap.
My son’s kneecap popped out of place. Dr. Brighton made time to see him and took excellent care of him. We appreciate his work and he has been great with both of our children. A trusted orthopedic doctor is priceless. Thank you!

Prompt and courteous staff. Dr. Brighton listens and asks questions to get the complete picture of the problem. He then takes steps to identify what next steps are. He doesn't jump to conclusions and then order quick fixes. He is always caring and takes his time. He makes you feel that you are the only patient he has and will thoroughly take care of your and your family concerns as well as he can.

We took our daughter, who has cerebral palsy, for a routine visit. She was perfectly fine and happy before the visit, but during the visit when Dr. Brighton was examining her he was so rough with her that she was screaming in agony. He did an x-ray after the examination (even though one was done before it) because he was concerned that he may have broken a bone or something during the examination. If you have to take an x-ray to cover yourself because you think you might have done something wrong---you have a very serious problem! He said there was nothing wrong on the x-ray, meanwhile may daughter is still screaming and he sent us home. She cried all night in intense pain and then all the next day and night. We have her positioned where she can fall asleep at night, but she still wakes up in severe pain. Diaper changes are excruciating. This has been going on for five days now! This has not happened with any of the other doctors that she has seen in her seven years.

Dr. Brighton is very pleasant, and down to earth. We have never felt rushed during our appointments. He takes his time and explains everything thoroughly. We never leave with unanswered questions, and we always know what the treatment plan consists of.

Brighton is the most kind, loving, passionate, godly men that walked right along side our family as we dealt with my daughters serious injuries from a head-on collision accident. He is truly called by God to practice orthopedic medicine in a way like none other. We will be forever grateful to him and his team as they strategically corrected my daughters injuries with such skill and compassion.

Dr B is the best. He is kind and caring. He always takes time to explain my sons condition and updates. He takes a minute to make my kid comfortable and feel included. I’m a nervous mom and ask lots of questions and Dr Brighton never makes me feel awkward or bothersome. He takes the time to explain and educate. He is very knowledgeable about other providers and utilized resources to refer for other conditions my son has and I appreciate that enormously. He also has great follow through and remembers us each time.
