Sunrise Hospital Vegas_Nevada Orthopedic

Beware of Nevada Orthopedic & Spine Center which includes Dr. Michael Bradford and his partners. The office and the individual doctors have low ratings and a lot of negative reviews.

Note: Prior to 2006, Nevada Orthopedic & Spine Center was named Advanced Orthopedic Care Assoc. They changed their business name to Nevada Orthopedic & Spine Center on December 27, 2006.

To learn about their office policies and unnessarily complicated patient forms, read the story of Patient-185 who went to Nevada Orthopedic & Spine Center for orthopedic care. The patient provides a detailed explanation of their office policies and the lengthy and time-consuming patient forms. You have to complete all of the forms again every time you come to the office. Patient says this office is "run by lawyers, not doctors." It's all about risk management (instead of focusing on patient care).
