Patient-16

Patinet-16 is another hip replacement by Dr. Michael Bradford at Nevada Orthopedic & Spine Center resulting in long-term pain and suffering for the patient. The 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. Michael Bradford never calls back and, in an emergency, the hospital cannot even reach him.

My wife broke her hip, and Dr. Bradford (with Nevada Orthopedic & Spine Center) 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, her hip has dislocated 6 separate times. This last time, she was told that Dr. Bradford 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 since May 24, 2025 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 should not 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 (Nevada Orthopedic & Spine Center).

• 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 November 20 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.
