ABOUT DR BRADLEY

Alex Bradley, MD, MBA is a fellowship-trained orthopaedic surgeon specializing in hip and knee replacement, complex reconstruction, and revision hip and knee replacement surgery.  Through his training, he has extensive experience with minimally invasive and outpatient joint replacement surgery.  

Dr. Bradley first developed an interest in orthopaedics through his routine visits to the doctor’s office while playing soccer, ice hockey, lacrosse and baseball growing up in Ann Arbor, Michigan.  While he continues to play ice hockey and downhill ski whenever possible, he’s tried to limit the unplanned visits to see the other orthopaedic specialists.  Despite leaving Michigan, Dr. Bradley remains a huge Michigan football and Detroit sports fan.

For college, Dr. Bradley attended the prestigious Northwestern University near Chicago, IL graduating cum laude.  He obtained a degree in biomedical engineering where, among other things, he studied material science and biomechanics, the principles that modern orthopaedics is built on.  After Northwestern, Dr. Bradley had his first opportunity to live in California when he attended University of Southern California Keck School of Medicine graduating at the top of his class.  After four years in Southern California, Dr. Bradley returned to Chicago, where he worked at the world-renowned University of Chicago, completing his internship and residency in orthopaedic surgery.  While training to be an orthopaedic surgeon, Dr. Bradley spent nights and weekends working towards an MBA at the #1-ranked University of Chicago Booth Business School, honing many of the skills that are not traditionally taught in medical school or residency.  Finally, he completed his training with a fellowship at Rush University Medical Center, one of the leaders in orthopaedic care worldwide, and the birthplace of outpatient joint replacement.

Throughout his training, Dr. Bradley has been published in numerous peer-reviewed journals and been invited to present his work at conferences across the country.

When not focusing on orthopaedics, Dr. Bradley loves to travel, visiting countries around the world and experiencing new cultures firsthand, and being active, spending much of his free time hiking and biking in the summer, skiing in the winter, and playing sports, like ice hockey, year-round.

I recently had a total hip replacement performed by Dr. Bradley, and I couldn't be more happy with the outcome. From the initial consultations to the post-surgery care, Dr. Bradley and his team at Golden State Orthopedics & Spine provided outstanding care. Dr. Bradley thoroughly explained the procedure, set realistic expectations, and ensured I felt confident and well-informed. The surgery was a success, resulting in a smooth recovery. Throughout the process, Dr. Bradley was compassionate, sensitive to my concerns, and always available for follow-up questions. His dedication to patient well-being and his skill as a surgeon truly set him apart. I highly recommend Dr. Bradley and his team to anyone in need of orthopedic care.

Dr. Alexandra Bradley. I am 62 years old. I've been having hip arthritis for the last 8 years. I kept postponing my operation for the last five years. I was afraid. Once I met with Dr. Bradley, his level of confidence and expertise put me at ease going ahead with the surgery. I had my surgery on November 20th and today is December 2nd (12 days after surgery). I had no complications and no infection. Everything went smoothly. Dr. Bradley came and visited me in the hospital three times the next Three Days after surgery every morning, even on a Saturday when I stayed there. He's very caring. He treated me as if I was his brother. Today I have no pain. I can walk. No complications and doing wonderful. Thank you, Doctor Bradley, For the expertise, confidence, and care that you put into your work. Dr. Bradley's staff is also excellent. They'll respond to my messages within an hour. Everyone is very friendly and caring, and it is very easy to get information and get hold of someone at the office. I'm 100% satisfied. Dr. Bradley has the hand of a master. He is a genius in his field. Very bright individual. I pray for you and thank you every night at my dinner table with my family.

The medical staff was amazing. I received great customer service all around. I dint feel rushed, Dr. Bradley, was easy to talk to. He was not in any hurry to perform surgery. He checked me over and explained what was amiss in my hip. He recommended steps needed that may help me with hip pain management. We are now waiting on approval for the much-needed hip injection.

Dr Alexander is a very skilled and exceptional surgeon. I feel extremely blessed that he was the doctor who performed my hip replacement surgery. Obviously, I was a tad nervous going into surgery. However, Dr Alexander has an excellent bed side manner as well and its clear he cares very much about his patients I really enjoyed meeting and talking with Dr Alexander throughout the process Dr Alexander is a really cool guy. Im so lucky to have him as my surgeon Top shelf five stars ✨ Robert Cebalo Patient

Dr. Alexander Bradley, MD OD, specializes, in my case, total knee replacement. I have another surgery that is needed to be performed prior to a recovery from a knee replacement. Dr. Bradley listened to my medical history, was empathetic! to my concerns, and suggested an injection of cortisone to relieve the inflammation to get me through my other surgery that is needed. "Bone" doctors are usually not warm in their approach to patients, Dr. Bradley is! I trust him, I like him, and when the time is appropriate for me to have the first of both knees replaced, he will be my surgeon.

I consulted Dr. Bradley twice regarding a potential total hip replacement. He thoroughly explained my stage 4 osteoarthritis, the factors contributing to it, and the treatment options, including less invasive alternatives. Dr. Bradley was objective, attentive to my concerns, and quick to respond to follow-up emails. He never made me feel rushed and always prioritized my well-being. My experience with Dr. Bradley and Golden State Orthopedics & Spine was excellent.

Not only are orthoredic surgeon Dr. Alexander Bradley's prifessional credentials very impressive, but his thorough expertise shows as he explains the prognosis of my osteoarthritis and how treatments short of knee replacement will only give me temporary relief. His genuine concern for patients, coupled with his warm personality and bedside manner, make him the ideal health provider for anyone experiencing orthopedic issues.

I have been through so much with my health for over 10 years now and during that time I have seen a lot of different doctors who treated me with indifference. I developed an anxiety disorder and PTSD due to the kind of treatment I received. Dr. Bradley put me at ease as much as he could by explaining everything he was doing and what was expected of me in my healing process. I am grateful for the honesty and professional attitude he had during this time. I highly recommend Dr. Bradley. You'll be in good hands.

Dr Bradley was referred to me via another Physician he worked with & whom I respected. I then chose him to perform my total knee replacement surgery & I am so glad I did! He gave me the utmost confidence in his abilities (he also has a degree in Mechanical Engineering so I knew he understood throughly how a knee really works!). He always explained everything in detail & easily answered the many questions I had. My surgery went smoothly & afterwards he came to my recovery room to check on me. He made sure I had a walker to leave the hospital with & also a cold machine for my home use, which came in very handy. His manner is upbeat & caring & I can comfortably give him a glowing Review.!

Dr. Bradley & his crew at the Oakland branch of Golden State Ortho & Spine are awesome, friendly & helpful. Dr. Bradley is very knowledgeable, patient & concise. He examined my knee, referred me for an mri, then called me with the results & in layman’s terms, gave me different options including PT, gel/steroid shots & arthroscopic surgery to my meniscus. Moreover, during my initial exam, I asked him about different options for my painful hip, and despite not being referred to him for that, he nevertheless took the time to explain different options for me. I enquired about a resurfacing procedure, which he said he doesn’t do, but would gladly refer me to surgeons who perform this procedure, that is, if I decide to do so.
