My endeavor
My endeavor is to keep you moving and get you back to what you love in life.
Care philosophy
I partner with each patient to find the best way to improve their condition. Sometimes surgery is the right answer, but often, nonsurgical options are more effective. I take time to understand my patient’s goals and use my skills to help them achieve the outcome that matters most to them.

I was referred to Dr. Dunlup by […] , my pulmonologist who I trust has great knowledge of certain dr.'s. I had seen another dr. In Endeavor, and had a series of gel shots, that somehow after the second one, things were not so great. I was reassured I do not need knee replacement at this time, and I just started PT. He was nice, not alarming, I didn't feel rushed, and will follow up in 4-6 weeks.

GoodListening Skills
August 26, 2025
Dr. Dunlap is exceptional. His expertise in sports medicine goes far beyond textbook knowledge-he genuinely understands the unique physical demands and mental pressures that come with high-level youth athletics. Whether it's the strain of intense training or the emotional toll of an injury, Dr. Brad gets it. What sets him apart is his ability to communicate with young athletes, and parents, in a way that resonates. He knows that most don't want to hear they need to rest or take time off-but he ensures they understand why it matters, and helps them see the bigger picture. His approach builds trust, confidence, and long-term resilience.
