Informative, very nice doctor, very gentle.

Ethical, straight forward and most importantly does not recommend unnecessary surgery. I was very impressed with his comment to me "I am treating the patient, not the x-ray".

Nov-2022
Greaat bedside manner
Oct-2022
Stand up surgeon. Listens to me. Explains things to me as many times as I need. Professional with a professional crew around him. I’m very tankful to have him as my ortho surgeon to repair a pretty bad dislocated ankle with a compound fracture. It’s no fun getting injured, but having a good doc to fix you back up like Dr. Brecht will make all of the difference.
Oct-2022
Extremely pleased with all my interactions with the excellent surgeon.

He was very thorough.

Outstanding Surgeon, informative and provided education to every question me and my wife had. A relief to know my other extremities will be well taken care of.
Aug-2022
I’m so tankful for the opportunity to have been operated on by Dr. Brecht. His work is stellar. You too would be blessed to have his professionalism involved with getting you put back together. I would recommend his services to anyone, who is seriously injured, that could be penciled into his schedule. I don’t plan on dislocating and fracturing anything other than my ankle and fibula, but should some serious trauma based event occur to me in the future, I would feel optimistic in all ways knowing that Dr. Brecht was at the helm. Dr. Brecht and his team are the best of what western medicine has to offer.
Jul-2022
In April, 2022, I had a very serious dirt bike accident. Dr. Brecht repaired my collarbone, hip, femur, and kneecap which all required extensive surgeries. Today, three months later, I am walking, temporarily using a cane, and there have been no complications. I am forever grateful to Dr. Brecht, and his staff!, for doing a tremendous job!

Dr. Brecht has been taking care of my fractured hip since September of 2020.
Unfortunately where it was fractured I wasn’t able to have a total hip done. Now the bone is healed and a total hip is now scheduled. Many thanks to his nurse Jo Ann she has always been pleasant and compassionate. I pray that the total hip procedure goes well and I can move forward with doing the things I haven’t been able to.
