Dr. Braly is a 1979 graduate of the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston.

Orthopedic surgeons are devoted to the diagnosis and treatment of bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles. Some orthopedists are generalists, while others specialize in certain areas of the body, such as the shoulder, hand, foot and ankle, spine, joint replacement, sport injuries, back pain associated with ruptured discs, spinal arthritis, or stenosis, cancer of the bones and muscles, tunnel syndrome, club foot, bow legs, orthopedic trauma, and limb lengthening, to name a few.

Dr. Braly attributes his professional success to being determined in achieving his goals. Now that he is retired he is enjoying being a typical Texas weekend rancher, reading, especially about history, travel, and spending more time with his family.
