After completing an internship in general surgery and his residency in orthopaedic surgery there, he completed a fellowship in hand surgery at the Mayo Clinic in 2005. Dr. Bravo has specialized in hand and upper extremity surgery with a particular interest in problems of the elbow at Carilion Clinic since 2005.

I have strong confidence in Dr Bravo! He has replaced two shoulders, at this point having no problems ! Explains the procedure, that you can understand. Highly recommend him to anyone, which I have already.

Dr Bravo is quite simply- wonderful. Very good clinician/surgeon

(5.0 out of 5)

Given his care, time taken for explanations, and the way he listens to understand (not just to hear), Dr. Bravo is now my top choice for surgeon in his specialty. I've already recommended him to several people who are considering carpal tunnel surgery.
