Ben Bradenham Jr., M.D.

I am a physician. I appreciated his thorough and educated approach to my care. I am glad I met him and look forward to receiving care from him.

Really liked his manner & excellence.

Most unusual Doctor visit ever. Fire alarm, evacuation and doctor visit in the parking lot with fire engine in the background. Efficiency at it best. First time visit too!

Never never bard always the best CS 110% and Doctor 120% excellent care always

Very friendly and professional.

He and the entire team was warm and friendly and they made my experience wonderful

Consultation was informative with a direct care plan. Respectable mannerism.

Dr. Bradenham has great bedside manner and take his time to answer my questions and concerns!!!

1st appointment with Dr Bradenham but left his office feeling confident in him that he will see me through it all and get to the source of my sickness and get back to feeling well again

I wasn't rushed through my appointment. He answered all my questions and acting like I was his only appointment for the day.

Professional, pleasant, explained his thoughts. Made me feel better about something I did not want to do!

The whole procedure went well. The staff was helpful, patient, and kind.

He is so wonderful. He listened to everything I had to say and was very knowledgeable. He knew the answer to every question I had. He’s very down to earth and personable. Wonderful bedside manner. I am new to the whole GI thing and he explained everything so thoroughly in a way that I could understand. Will definitely see him again!

Amazing! Extremely informational, and answered all of my questions.

Awesome. Took time to explain everything. Great bedside manner. His nurse is terric as well.

He was extremely good and very comforting. Would recommend him to anyone.

Personable, knowledgeable, professional yet very personable

100%

Great response on no notice. Helpful instruction

Was very pleased with the treatment

So good to have an appointment with Dr Bradenham-he was so helpful and kind and helped with all my concerns.

Nice to meet him. Helpful Friendly

Great doctor..takes his time. Knows what he's doing. He's very kind and considera

Outstanding. Excellent care. They saved my wife's life. Wonderful to deal with

Efficient practice, caring, professional!

It would be nice if at least the receptionists said, " Good Morning," Hello or just gave a smile to show that you are welcome there. Also, for those of us who came over on the Ark, it would be nice to have the choice of having the "old fashioned sheets" to fill out or at least have someone help us navigate the computer patients are given to give meds they are taking, etc.

Very friendly, informative and explains things well.

Great guy, did a wonderful job

Dr Bradenham was great. Very informative

The woman who helped me after my procedure was rude and very short with me. My findings were not explained to me sufficiently and should not be left to someone as impatient as her. I had a lot going on and I don’t appreciate how the information was explained. Again, she was very rude to me!

Hot fast, spent a lot of time typing and not making eye contact, and when I express concerns or had questions, he didn't take the time to explain why he didn't think they were valid he just said they weren't a concern. I felt like I was in a processing plant.

The staff as well as Dr. Bradenham were so welcoming and warm. They really alleviated my fears and were kind from start to finish.

Dr Bradenham was thorough, informative and very friendly. He discovered an issue I didn’t know I was having and I’m going to physical therapy for it. Most grateful!!

Professional, thorough and respectful. Excellent bedside manner and rapport.

Excellent bedside minor very productive

Dr. listen to me and was very caring.

Very educational

Staff was great! He's not much with talking with patients. He seems all business....that's great....but bedside manners go a long way.

He is affable, personable, and worth the wait.

Dr Bradenham gave me a thorough report after my colonoscopy. I do so wish that there was a doctor who could help me find and fix the root cause of my chronic constipation and IMO/ SIBO. Dr Bradenham’s original treatment was simply to have me overdose on Miralax. That was disturbing.

It was okay. I told him i didnt want to be on miralax again and he triple dosed me on it…

Very knowledgeable and friendly

Answered all questions and explained to me my condition

Took his time explaining everything, test results, options scenarios. Even though he was slammed with patients, he didn’t rush. He presents sound medical opinions, and doesn’t pressure you one way or another. Bradenham is awesome.

Great experience! I had a blast getting my colonoscopy!

Love this MD and his office staff.

Very good very polite

Dr. B provided excellent service. He listened to all my concerns and responded accordingly. His nurse is also wonderful. She was very easy to work with during the scheduling of my service.

Listened and tried to explain one thing at a time with writing down notes for me to follow a Regiment.

He was kind & thorough! I am grateful:)

Highly recommend. He and Ms. Heidi made me feel like family .

Great manner and knowledgeable physician.

Listened and validated my concerns. Very attentive and clear on the diagnosis.

First time meeting dr.Bradenham day of the procedure and he was absolutely amazing. Went over everything and made me for comfortable. Great bedside manner and a great doctor.

I just met Dr . Bradenham Jr. , I was a patient of his father and I wanted to continue with his service and I appreciated the thorough way he communicated with me the procedure that he says I'm going to need and how he's not concerned or worried about how my outcome will be. I just have to go through the testing and see where we go from there. But I'm not happy about having to wait until June to get the test done. My overall experience was great 👍.

This was my first visit with this provider and I was very impressed.

Before I left my appointment this morning, I made a note to tell my primary care physician how happy I am with my move to Dr. Ben Bradenham!

Excellent bedside manner! The entire team was phenomenal.

Efficient, friendly, straightforward interaction. Answered all my questions, was prompt to the the appointment (within reason).

Very caring, right to the point & talked so I could understand him.

Answered all my questions, remembered my history on his own, provided support, understanding and encouragement. Love this doctor!

doctor and his staff are awesome! They really put you at ease and they are great at what they do. Only Gastro doctor that I will go to!

Clear, straightforward, personal and professional, appreciate the Telehealth visit to avoid going into the office.

Thorough consultation with lots of information.

Really good doctor. Just like his father.

Great discussion

He always listens. Explains things well. Lays out his plan understandably. Is encouraging and reassuring. Friendly, kind, compassionate, and professional. An excellent physician and nice person who cares about his patients. Thank you Dr Bradenham!

Nice bedside manner

Great bedside manner and sounded very knowledgeable.

Great staff. Takes time to listen and cares for your concerns

Very empathetic and knowledgeable. Actually enjoyed my doctor's appointment.

Dr Bradenham was great and in my corner. I appreciated him

The only reason for the 3 stars is the wait time. Arrived 20 minutes before my appointment waited more than 30 minutes in waiting area then waited more than an hour in room

Dr Bradenham is a wonderful physician! He listens attentively and cares about the whole person. He has improved my husband's quality of life immensely.

Dr.B is so patient, listening and explaining…I went in worried,tired anxious and puzzled and came out not heard, “educated” and with a plan, not rushed. Heidi, his nurse is amazing! : clear (patient as well !) efficient and reassuring. They make a great team.

great patience concerns

Very satisfied.

Great bedside manner

Very good professional he listened to me gave me results and information to help with care , explained to make sure I understand. Very satisfied with care by Dr bradenham and PA hughes

Dr. Bradenham has done a great job helping me manage and monitor my gastrointestinal health. His recall of my history at each subsequent visit is spot on so I feel assured that my health is being well supervised. Todays procedure went very smoothly and the post feedback and information was great.

I am so glad Dr. Bradenham, JR. He is so personal.

Awesome doctor!

Made diagnosis without any testing or thorough examination. Wrote a script and sent me on my way. Liked him personally but did not feel like he tried to look at possible options just made a sap diagnosis.

very understanding and responsive to my concerns, also very funny

Friendly. Listens to all your concerns before coming up with a plan. Makes you feel like he really cares about resolving your issues.

Very good visit. My only complaint is that his schedule horizon is so far out.

1st visit and I have already recommended him to 3 people

Dr. Bradenham is knowledgeable, friendly and most of all attentive to my medical history and to the symptoms and concerns I stated during our appointment. I drove two hours to see him, passing up UVA and NOVA medical practitioners based on personal references and reviews written by past and current patients. I couldn’t be happier. FIVE STARS. I recommend Dr. Bradenham to anyone in need of gastrointestinal diagnosis and care.

Super nice - helpful report of findings.

Very knowledgeable great bedside manner

First time meeting Dr Bradenham and it was a real pleasure. So nice and answered all my many questions.I felt very comfortable with him and would refer him to friends and family.

Dr Bradenham provided me with a thorough assessment based on my health report. I found him to be a conscientious physician who listened well.

He was very professional.

Dr. Bradenham was incredibly personable and his entire staff made my procedure easy and stress free.

Dr. Bradenham Jr. was fantastic! Kind, attentive, informative, and very funny too. He made my experience going to a GI doctor very pleasant and even enjoyable. I will definitely keep him as my GI doctor in the future, should any other issues arise. I’m grateful that doctors like him exist.

Dr Bradenham jr is fabulous Doctor. Kind. knowledgeable, informative, personable, easy to talk to, down to earth. 5 stars!!!

Great job thanks 🙏🏽

Great Doc, I met him and within 5 minutes I was out.

Easy to talk to, likes humor...look forward to working with him.

Dr. Bradenham was pleasant and funny, however, he was completely dismissive regarding the spot on my pancreas, telling us that it was “nothing to be concerned about” and “too small to be cancer and to have metastasized.” I know now that is completely ridiculous! There is no way to know if anything is cancer without pathology. They could not get a copy of my MRI during my visit and even without that he still sent me home with no follow up except a colonoscopy that they couldn’t get me in for until September! Four months later! This visit was a complete waste of time. I have since learned that I have a tumor on my pancreas and need a biopsy and possibly surgery to resect it. I can’t imagine what would have happened if I had followed his advice and followed up a YEAR later with another CT scan. I could be dead by then. Pancreatic cancer is not something you want your doctor to be conservative about. I would rather error on the side of caution. I think most patients would too.

He takes time to listen to your concerns and doesn't make you feel rushed

Excellent

Dr. Bradenham was kind and explained everything to me. He took his time and answered all of my questions. I’m

Excellent! Dr. Bradenham took his time to listen to me carefully and read the detailed material I provided on my past procedures. He formulated a care plan to move forward with the appropriate testing procedures.

Pleasant experience!

Dr B was friendly but I also want to say the WHOLE place was friendly and kind and competent!

Very personable

Great listener. Listened very well to my concerns. Had immediate ideas on how to solve it.

Dr. Bradenham has always been patient to answer questions when I go in. Dr. Bradenham came up with a diagnosis within 5 minutes of my appointment. I think he is the greatest.

Outstanding explanations for procedures and how to move forward with patient care. Professionalism with empathy and understanding of patient’s needs and concerns. The “best of the best”!

Very personable

Answered my questions.

Have already recommended Dr branham to another person because of my great experience also because they took my blood pressure and was concerned I went to the hospital after I left their office have they probably saved me a heart attack or stroke as the pressure was high enough for their immediate attention I cannot think Dr branham and his staff enough

Very personable and no nonsense.

Great bedside manner! Explained things well and took the time to address any questions and concerns without making me feel rushed.

Dr. Bradenham had a wonderful personality that put me at ease immediately! He & his staff greeted me with a smile and a friendly hello. This made my early morning procedure less stressful even after a sleepless night and a day without solid foods.

The “back room” staff is exceptional as is Dr. B

Great service, and attention to detail

Made me instantly feel at ease!

Clear and concise observations and recommendations z

He really listened to me and took my complaints very seriously! Best experience with a physician!

He resolves, cares and listens.

Such a nice Doctor, very thorough in explaining procedures. And to top it off his Nurse Heidi is a dear high school buddy!!

Totally pleased

I like the way he explained every things in a simple way and my choice was clear and I felt good about my decision 😌

We love Dr. Brad. He’s so kind and communicative.

Always pleasant and spends time with you . Thank you Dr Bradenham !

Wonder explanation of treatment and the office visit experience was great.

I am a new patient of Dr. Bradenham's having had two different GI doctors since moving to VA (both with Gastro VA. One retired, the other moved). I had never met Dr. Bradenham prior to my procedure, but he was warm and comforting. I look forward to him being my primary GA doctor.

As a nurse I’ve worked with many doctors. And usually when I’m a patient, I try to steer away from having a MD as my specialist and ask for their NP. I do this because most MD’s have the worst bedside manner and come off as not caring about their patients. Today I had my first appointment with Dr. Bradenham and I immediately could tell he was different. You can tell he loves his job and truly wants to help his patients. Glad I was referred to him!

Very personable!! Great experience for my first visit! 😃

Very professional and informative. Made us feel comfortable and well-cared for.

Always willing to listen to you and answer any questions you may have always very professional, kind and courtious

Professional, personable, knowledgeable. Very comfortable with Dr. Bradenham.

Prompt courteous staff

Very easy going made me feel comfortable talking to him

Friendly & professional when he introduced himself. Stayed on schedule.

The staff and Dr. Bradenham were great. I'm disappointed my wife was kicked out of the waiting room at 3:30 because the office was closing. My procedure didn't take place until 4:00. She had to sit in the car for an hour in the parking lot. You require people to take patients home, they should be able to stay in the building until the patient is ready to leave.

They are great. One easy process

Very kind and reassuring.

Very nice doctor, & very informative. Dr Bradenham made me feel safe and comfortable during my procedure.

Great doctor. Easy to talk to and listens well

Stellar! Coming from a nurse that has worked with him. He is a genius and his bedside manner is unmatched

Answered my questions Procedure was done quickly

Great bedside manner, listened well.

He come introduced himself. I had no questions. We proceeded with preparing for procedure. Dr. Bradenham spoke with my husband and explained how the procedure went. Very Professional,

Dr & staff were extremely friendly.

Excellent experience for my colonoscopy. Dr. Bradenham was friendly and professional. His demeanor was comforting, and I felt at ease after discussing the procedure with him.

Was very easy to talk to and very compassionate. Staff was great!

Dr. Bradenham was very friendly and professional. He took the time to explain things in a way I could understand and answered all the questions I had. I would definitely recommend him!

Sorry but my appointment was scheduled at 10:30. I arrived at 10:00 when requested. Only two patients ahead of me. Asked about being seen at 11:00. Escorted to patient room and left there for another 30+ minutes. Over an hour past my appointment time. Doctor apologized for the delay but I lost an hour of my life waiting. And I paid the office to do this. Frustrating.

Dr. Bradenham was very informative, polite, kind and knowledgeable. He listened well and gave instructions that would help my issues.

The whole staff were wonderful, they made me feel very comfortable.

Very nice took time to evaluate my situation

Dr Bradenham is clearly very knowledgeable and, friendly, easy to talk to. I definitely felt that he wanted to help me navigate a difficult illness, this visit just felt rushed though.

I was so glad I found Dr. Bradenham! Great doctor, no long waits in waiting room, though it is tough to schedule procedures within a reasonable time, but that's not a problem WITH the doctor.

Dr Bradenham is an excellent physician who truly cares for his patients. I would recommend him to everyone!

Great bedside manner.

So thorough. So kind. Highly recommend him!

No problem with doc; I was told to arrive 30 minutes early to do paperwork that took 5 minutes; in addition to those wasted minutes,it was another hour and six minutes before I saw the doctor for 10 minutes. Those 10 minutes cost me an hour and 45 minutes— with no explanation and a token apology. I find that unconscionable and unacceptable. We

Always pleasant & professional w/ very informative discussions on whatever I’m seeking whether advice or service.

He was great!

As usual Dr. B is professional, pleasant and takes the time to explain snd answer questions.

4 star as my driver didn't get a call from the doctor after procedure. Worked with Ben Sr many times. He was great. This is the first time seeing Jr.

The Drs bedside manner was excellent and very understandable. I walked out feeling extremely comfortable.

Polite, trustworthy, knowledgeably, easy to speak with.

Dr. B has been extremely helpful, cordial and addressed all of my concerns. None of this can be said for his front or back office stuff.

When they told me it was already finished, I couldn't believe it! First time meeting Dr. Bradenham, and I was very pleased with my choice. Thank you!!

Always so helpful and compassionate

Dr. Bradenham has an excellent bedside manner and takes the time to know the patient.

I have around 12 physicians for complex issues and Dr. Bradenham is by far one of the most attentive overall and never in a rush.

He took the time to clearly explain things. It was a good and refreshing experience.

Hello, I fortunately progressed to the 10 year anniversary !! With my return on January 6, 2022, the staff made me feel extremely at ease from the moment I arrived. Many thanks for the early bird conversations, and most importantly the excellent professional explanations from all. Audrey Lynne James Happy 2022 beginning !!

Very friendly amd personable

Very professional and personable. He has an excellent bedside manner. I look forward to consulting with him.

Instantly became a friend. I had been treated by his Farther years ago. It was greate just talking to him and discussing all of my problems and he was not only a doctor, but working with me to put my mind at ease.

He was nice, thorough, and timely. Could not be happier.

Such a kind compassionate doctor. Easy to talk too.

Dr. Bradenham is ALWAYS very attentive and receptive to my questions and concerns and always makes me feel respected for my thoughts and concerns. I value his advice and judgment on my health issues. He is the BEST! Thank you..

Kind, thorough and lovely bed side manner

As a very inquisitive patient, I have always appreciated how thorough and willing Doctor Bradenham is to help figure out with my GI issues. I would definitely recommend him to anyone in the central VA region looking for a GI Doctor.

Don’t feel I receive the care and concern I feel I deserve for my discomfort.

Attentive listener, considers pertinent information, concern for entire GI system health.

He was very attentive in listening to what I was telling him typing it all down. I hope suggestions he gave works. He was in a bit of hurry probably because he was running almost an hour behind.

Extremely knowledgeable and comforting put my mind at ease figured out the problem and we now have a solution to it

Very good Doctor. Took time to listen. Not in a hurry.

Was impressed with the short wait to see Doctor Bradenham, his straightforward manner, and sensible recommendations.

Dr Brandenham exceeded my expectations. He was very informative, patient and caring.

Very personable, great overall bedside manner, great with explaining everything and made sure I was as comfortable as possible. Highly recommend him.

Fantastic bedside manner! Very comforting.

Excellent rapport. Explains my situation in a clear, concise manner. Patiently answers any questions I have. Very professional. Good sense of humor too, which helps immensely.

Dr. Bradenham is the most personable doctor I’ve ever seen. I’m obese, and he treated me with respect and compassion. He was enthusiastic to help me help myself. He spends time listening to his patients. Dr. Bradenham is the best doctor I’ve seen in a decade.

Very easy to talk to and friendly. He calmed my fears and seemed very knowledgeable.

He takes time to listen.

Dr. Bradenham is an excellent physician who listens and discusses options fully .
