Meet Dr. Brandon Gough
Board-Certified Orthopaedic Surgeon | Scottsdale, Arizona | 8,000+ Procedures
Dr. Brandon Gough became an orthopaedic surgeon because he wanted to give people their lives back. Not just less pain — but the ability to walk to the mailbox, play a round of golf, keep up with their grandchildren, and wake up in the morning without dreading the first step out of bed.
After more than a decade and over 8,000 hip and knee procedures, that motivation has never changed. Every patient who walks through his door is someone’s parent, grandparent, or partner — and every recovery matters personally to him.
Dr. Gough is one of a small group of surgeons in the United States trained in the most advanced minimally invasive techniques available today. He is currently leading the development of a Robotic Center of Excellence for hip and knee replacement — training surgeons from across the country and around the world in techniques that most practices have not yet adopted.

Whitney, the PA in the office, is very knowledgeable, caring, and personable. The surgery center was top notch and I’m on the mend. I’m so happy that I chose Gough Surgical for my knee replacement.
