Dr. Brian L. Badman, MD

My shoulder replaced and have not been able to return to work since that was a year and a half ago. If you're not doing well he doesn't like to see you. He definitely needs to work on his bedside manner.

At my visit, Dr Badman was sloppily wearing his face mask to barely cover his upper lip. I thought that perhaps he was a kindred spirit in only wearing a mask because he had to, not because he thought them necessary, so I asked him about his mask policy. He told me I could remove my mask if I was vaccinated, and I said I wasn't because I don't agree with or trust the vaccines, and why. The specifics of why I don't agree with the vaccines are not important for purposes of this review, but they were respectfully stated. Dr Badman proceeded to berate me using several choice 4 letter words and tell me that he didn't ever want to see me or treat me again, and later sent me a certified letter they would take legal action if I ever came back. So... needless to say, I do not recommend seeing Dr Badman, for any reason. Regardless of a difference of opinion on an unrelated medical issue, his behavior was unbecoming and unprofessional.

Dr. Badman did a reverse total shoulder replacement for me, on Feb, 19th. I could not be more pleased, thus far. He is direct and a "Straight shooter." The communication from Dr. Badman, is exceptional! From the pre op consultation visit, on through the process I have received phone calls, emails, texts and videos. He is more than willing to take the time to put concerns, to rest. Dr. compliance is the patients part of the team effort.

I highly recommend Dr Badman, easy to talk to, he explained my shoulder issues, and explained his recommendations. Very knowledgeable Surgeon.

I have been ailed with shoulder pain since high school due to years of wrestling, weight lifting and CrossFit. I had finally decided to go have Dr Badman take a look at my shoulder to find out that I had done a lot of damage to it and would need extensive surgery. He got me in right away and now fast forward 5 months later I’m back doing any and all sports along with Crossfit. Dr. Badman walked me through the process, explained to me what to expect and told me I would make a full recovery back to where I was prior to surgery as long as I followed his recovery process and I’m very pleased to say that I’m back and 100% happy with my results. To be back to crossfit again with out the shoulder pain I once had on a daily basis is amazing and a relief.

Was told my shoulder and bi-cep damages would be 100% corrected after (2) back to back surgeries. Not! I am reminded daily of the surgeries performed. After 20 weeks of rehab my arm might have been 25% of what it use to be. Was told it would continue to get better in time. My shoulder and arm did not RE develop as I was led to believe. Been (3) years now and I still have only 50% capacity of my arm. I have no bi-cep strength. I get severe cramp when curling 7-10# and have to set down what I pick up. The hand stays (3-4) degree colder all the time. Winter time is almost unbearable and I must keep my one hand protected from the cold. All this went unnoticed for several winter months while recovering at home wrapped up in a blanket. Was told non of my sysmtoms is resultant of the surgery and no other explanation was provided.

After another orthopedic doc messed up my shoulder, I started seeing Dr. Badman. A replacement was inevitable, but knowing I was hesitant, Dr Badman patiently managed my pain and monitored my situation for two years. I just had the replacement and had an amazing experience. Highly recommend!

Accurate diagnosis along with an understandable explanation, answering all my questions. Surgery went as smooth and as explained. Recovery went well and just as was explained. Skilled surgeon who has an empathetic ear and takes time to explain the complexity of my overall condition and how to best treat it and recover.

I've been seeing Dr. Badman for several years for my knee pain. He always listens to me and spends time with me. He tells me what his recommendations are but allows me to make the decision about what treatment plan works best for me. I appreciate that!

Dr. Badman was kind and caring. His staff were very friendly and prompt.

An honest, straight talking doctor. He treated my shoulder. I didn't like what he had to say about my rotator cuff damage, but I was confident in his assessment. Even though there were several massive tears, he was reluctant to operate. He was right. Simple steroid injections were sufficient to restore most of the strength and mobility.

Dr Badman is a wonderful Dr. He spends time with patients and Listens. He is very nice and compassionate. I was so glad I found him.

Highly recommend Dr. Badman and staff!

I had a great experience. I had rotator cuff surgery and am 100% better.

Doc is great. Bedside manner bar none. Excellent job on me. Thanks! See this guy if have bad shoulder!

I highly recommend Dr. Badman, for rotator cuff surgery or any shoulder injury. He explained the procedure thoroughly. He followed up personally. I have never waited more than 5 minutes for any appointments. My shoulder is doing great following his plan has made my recovery pain free, for me!!

I wanted to thank Dr. Badman and his staff for an excellent outcome. I had a partial replacement that never got rid of my pain. I was worried that I might have to live with that pain the rest of my life. I was very depressed and was giving up the things I enjoyed including lifting my grandbabbies. Dr Badman revised my shoulder to a reversal. My rotor cuff was in bad shape. I am now five years out from the revision and continue to be pain free other than the occasional soreness. I can't thank this man enough.

My shoulder was in bad shape. I had pain for many years. I had seen several other doctors in the area and was never quite comfortable with them. It was recommended I see Dr. Badman from a friend at church who he had done surgery on and was doing very well I might add. I saw him on a Thursday in Carmel and was very comfortable with him. He used an ultrasound and looked at my shoulder with me and diagnosed a torn rotor cuff. I finally had it fixed and I am feeling great. I had minimal pain despite being told it was the "worst experience imaginable" by several friends. I am very pleased with Dr. Badman's care and would recommend him to anyone!

n Overall experience was very satisfactory.No wait time. excellent surgeon. surgery was very successful.No havepain following procedure. Great and sincere follow up. I have every confidence in him. I will and have highly recommended him.

I had been having severe shoulder pain for many many years. I was told it was everything from bursitis to inflammation to a torn cuff. I took medications, tried therapy and even got a shot in my shoulder. None of it helped. My family doctor recommended that I see Dr. Badman to see if he could make a diagnosis. Sure enough, Dr. Badman did an examination and ultrasound right there in his office and said that he didn't think it was a shoulder problem. He thought the pain was coming from my neck. He ordered an MRI of my neck and found a herniated disc in my neck. He personally called me with the results and said that he would send me to a neck specialist. I am now scheduled for surgery on my neck to take care of the pain. God Bless Dr. Badman for taking the time to find out what was really wrong.
