Dr. Brandon K. Kimbrel, MD, is a fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon specializing in Arthroscopic & Reconstructive Surgery of the Elbow, Shoulder, Hip & Knee (Robotics) & Orthopedic Sports Medicine. A native of Texas, Dr. Kimbrel earned his medical degree from the University of Texas Medical Branch before completing his orthopedic residency at the University of Kansas Medical Center. He then chose to elevate his training even further with an orthopedic sports medicine fellowship at the highly selective and world-renowned American Sports Medicine Institute in Birmingham, Alabama. During this time he served as a team physician for the Auburn Tigers and the Birmingham Barons, AA affiliate of the Chicago White Sox.
Dr. Kimbrel grew up in the small town of Cameron, Texas and went on to play baseball at Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, Texas. During this time he underwent multiple orthopedic surgeries, including Tommy John. This experience with orthopedic medicine lead him to his career in orthopedic sports medicine, as he has intimate knowledge of returning to sport post injury. In his early college years, Dr. Kimbrel was a distinguished baseball player for Sam Houston State, where he developed and nurtured his appreciation for the conditioning and care of athletes and treatment of athletic injuries. During his collegiate field time, he earned the title of both Most Valuable Pitcher and Most Valuable Player, as well as being selected as a member of the Capitol One Academic All-American Baseball Team. He was also selected by the Baltimore Orioles in the Major League Baseball draft.
Outside of his practice with Louisiana Orthopedic Specialists, Dr. Kimbrel enjoys spending time outdoors with his wife and black Lab, playing guitar, fishing, golf and mastering the art of BBQ.
Dr. Kimbrel currently practices at our Lafayette and Scott clinics. “I feel LOS is the top orthopedic practice in the area. I appreciated their connection with the community and with the University of Louisiana Lafayette, so the choice was easy. Lafayette and the surrounding areas have some of the most welcoming people, and it felt like coming home!”

Very thorough and to the point
No one better!
Dr Kimbrel was very patient and informative. He explained everything he was going to do. He is personable and easy to talk to!
Very good doctor
Nothing I was greeted when I walked in seen promptly staff was friendly professional was able to have my questions answered
Excellent bedside manner. Doesn't make you wait to be seen. His staff are top notch.
I had to wait three weeks from the time scan was done for a visit. Just for him to refer me to another Dr. A simple phone call could have saved me 3 extra weeks of pain with a broken shoulder.
There should be more Dr Kimbrels...I can now walk normal thanks to him.
Extremely considerate and patient. Made sure we understood every aspect of the situation and had the information we needed to make a decision.
Outgoing, Great communication abilities, delightful and engaging personality, thoughtful bedside manners, and a remarkable person. I’ve have tons of operations and exclusively metal incertion. The great thing here having not met my two new Dr.s there communication (body language, words chozen, body movements, articulated language) made me feel extremely confident in trusting which is of the utmost security when having to undergo two surgeries with someone you’ve never met! Aftercare was just as pleasurable along with LOS O.T.
