Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Friendly and caring!

I have already mentioned to several people the wonderful professionalism and caring of Dr. C Brenin at UVA Breast Care Center. They have made the diagnosis I had easier to emotionally and physically deal with, and the care (and obvious CARING) of the doctor and all the staff is truly noteworthy!

I love Dr. Brenin! She always listens very attentively to what I'm telling her and has actual ideas about what to do, rather than just saying, "Oh yeah, that's normal," and not doing anything. Considering that she is my "least invasive" doctor (as opposed to my surgical and radiation doctors), she is the one who helps the most.

TNBC Follow up Visits
I am a patient of Dr. Christina Brenin. I was diagnosed with TNBC followed by a mastectomy and chemotherapy. I Need to hear the status of my cancer now, after chemo with out going around and around. In the beginning, I was given an overload of materials, meetings and information explaining the aggressiveness and higher chances of reoccurrence on this type of breast cancer. Once my chemo treatments were over, I felt as if I had been deserted. I still have follow up visits but no scans or testing. Personally I feel like my TNBC has not been giving the follow up treatment as deserved.

Positives: as an NCI senior doctor, presumptively is up to date on latest treatments. Negatives: she's really busy managing the infusion center, jr docs,drug trials and seeing patients. My appointments, average 40 minutes late, with average 15 min consult time with her. I am not entirely confident my disease is getting the individually focused therapy attention in may need.

Dr Brenin offered me the only hope I was given for treatment. I was told I could not be given any more chemo due to my extensive history of cancer and chemo. Which meant that I would die. Thank the heavens I was given a referral to her and also got a surgical referral. So I am getting chemo, I am still alive and we go on from here. She gave me hope and backed it up. Excellent Dr!
