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.

Request a different doctor. We will be.
My wife went to see this doctor after weeks of pain. He quickly dismissed her concerns, even dismissing the concerns of her PCP. After a brief physical exam, ordered no tests or imaging, and said when she gets tired of dealing with it come back for surgery. This is her first incident with this problem and had hoped to get some help and answers. Instead, she got no help and was dismissed. I'm still not sure what we and our insurance company paid for.

No help at all, went to him for a problem and essentially was billed for a "you're dumb" consult. offered no solutions, just more or less "get out of my face". i'm convinced the appointment was for the billing.

Dr. Brinkman saw my sister, who has Alzheimer’s, for a nasal problem. He was professional, honest, patient, and kind to her. Because of this, she was more relaxed than usual in a doctor’s office. He did not rush through the visit, but asked questions to elicit information as to her problem; then took the necessary steps to determine the cause so a solution can be determined. I would definitely recommend Dr. Brinkman to others. He and his office staff were all extremely kind and helpful.

Pretty sure he's the same dr I just dealt with tonight at pmc, he came in the room and talked to me like i was a dog. Never have i been treated this way by anyone at pmc. He literally acted as though I shouldn't have been there if I was able to walk in on my own. Glad his shift was almost over and I didn't have to look at him another minute. I wouldn't recommend him to my worst enemy.

I would not recommend him to anyone! I brought my daughter to him and without even examining her, he told me nothing was wrong with her. Stated that her chronic cough was probably just a tick. Did not review the X-rays that were taken of her. Examined her for 2 secs after I got upset. Only looked in one of her ears. Dismissed any questions I had and sent us on our way even though she coughed the entire time she was in his office! I was so upset that I was in tears on my way home! He's terrible

I thought Dr Brinkman was rude not just to me but also acted like other doctors were wrong about things that I have had for years. I have never seen another doctor who disagrees with another doctor be so rude. It was unprofessional I wouldn't recommend him to anyone.
