Patient-16

Another botched hip replacement by Dr. Michael Bradford, patient's hip has dislocated 6 times since surgery, Dr. Bradford will not return phone calls or provide medical care to the patient.

This story was posted by the patient's husband on September 26, 2025.

Dr. Bradford never calls back and, in an emergency, the hospital cannot even reach him.

My wife broke her hip, and Dr. Bradford performed her surgery on May 24, 2025, at Sunrise Hospital.

Dr. Bradford disappeared after surgery and did not meet with the patient or her family (just like the story about Patient-1).

Since the surgery, she has dislocated her hip 6 separate times. This last time, she was told her doctor finally called back after hours of trying to reach him.

Dr. Bradford stated she needed to follow up on Monday, as she likely needs to have surgery again. It is now Thursday afternoon. The office does not answer, and Dr. Bradford still has not called her back.

She has been suffering for 20 weeks with no help from Dr. Bradford.

There is now a lump that is getting bigger. The emergency room said there is a new bone growing that shouldn't be there.

We will be lodging a complaint with the Nevada Medical Board for neglecting the care of a patient as well as contacting our insurance provider and informing them as well. They are paying for subpar medical treatment for patients.

Finally, I am in the process of hiring an attorney and preparing to file civil action against this doctor.

I would advise anyone needing orthopedic care to stay away from this place.

• Update about Patient-16. When her hip dislocated for the 6th time on November 7, she called Dr. Bradford's office for help. The patient was told to get herself checked in at Sunrise Hospital and lay there for two weeks and maybe Dr. Bradford will show up on the 20th to do surgery. The patient needed help right now and could not wait for the uncertain promise that Dr. Bradford would show up in two weeks (and she could not lay in a hospital bed for two weeks waiting for someone to put her hip back in place), so she went to a different hospital and received proper medical care.

Do NOT let this happen to you or your loved ones.

Just say NO to Sunrise Hospital and Dr. Michael Bradford.
