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.

Dr Brennan is an excellent physician who is compassionate and extremely intelligent. I have been in his care for many years and have witnessed him fight for patient rights more than people realize. His staff is very caring and efficient. God bless them all for performing a very hard job.

I realize we're all in the midst of a pandemic; however, I had my medical records transferred to this physician's office and they confirmed receipt. When I attempted to make an appointment, the only thing they said was, "call back around June 1," which I did. I've had numerous conversations with various staff members, all who promise to get back to me and today, the last woman I spoke with had NO recollection of our previous conversation. And then had the audacity to put me on Perma-hold. UNBELIEVABLE!!! Now I have to go through the entire process again of transferring my records to a physician who will see me. His office staff has literally deferred me for months and has left me hanging.

He needs to be in a group practice. He bites off more than he can chew as the saying goes. He is a good guy but unfortunately he gets under stress easily and sick easily so he ideally need to be in a group practice so he’s not trying to be a superhero and take on way too many patients. He is an empathetic patient physician but he’s touch and go. So unfortunately you never know which side you’re going to get. Bottom line is he does care. He just gets under stress easily and then that’s when it seems as if he doesn’t care. So I recommend him but just try to be empathetic knowing the nature of his job is tough, especially in private practice.

After I was told I needed a referral and finally got one I called back and now Dr Brennan not taking new Patients. But I must say, His office staff is the most Obnoxious rude Unprofessional staff I have ever had to deal with . while researching Dr Brennan other site said he was a good doctor if you can deal with his staff . You always wonder if these reviews are correct ?? I can say... I should have listened to the other reviews.

Dr. Brennan help save my life. I suffer from my debilitating chronic pain conditions, such as CRPS, fibromyalgia, osteopenia, spinal stenosis, scoliosis of the spine, degenerative disc disease, and more. I have been going to him for about 5 years. He listened to me with compassion, and didn't treat me like a drug seeker. He has stood by my side with all of the craziness with the new CDC regulations. Thank you Dr. Brennan

Dr. B has made me whole again. I was to the point where there was No Quality or Happiness left for me. Dr. Brennan has a understanding that is very rare. Dr. Brennan has studied for years and has a physical understanding of how our brain and body work or do not. I do not know what I would do w/o Dr. Brennan but it would not be as Great as it is w/ Him in My World!:>)

After suffering from great pain from a herniated disk, I was referred to get help from a local professional in order to avoid more painful commute. In spite of the negative reviews i read about this practice I started the process of getting an appointment. A month and a half after I started the process of scheduling an appointment, and in spite of my primary care doctor faxing all pertinent information and more, the clerks at this offices kept missing my papers, and never gave me an appt.
