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.

Contradictory Information
Contradictory information from visit to visit. Disengaged. Poor explanations and follow through. Left with even more questions that were not answered. No solutions. Disappointed. Arrogant. Will never recommend.

Doctor DeBeaubien saved my leg and my life by referring me to a doctor at Mt. Clemens. None of the doctors here in Saginaw could figure out what to do with the growth on my leg. My wife Bonnie had Dr. DeBeaubien replace her hip so we went to seehime and he had the quick refferal lined up and I had surgery withing a few days. Anyone who wants a GREAT orthipedic man Brian DeBeaubien is the BEST

I experienced care from the doctor and his staff from two different perspectives. The first as my wife’s “coach” during her hip replacement and then twice as a patient for a hip replacement and later a knee replacement. From initial consult to ease of scheduling to care by the doctor and his staff during the procedure and all follow ups our experiences were all positives. Our hopes are to never need the doctors talents in the future but if we do I’m sure Dr deBeaubien’s office will be our first call.

Was referred to him for right hip pain/numbness/tingling in right leg. He did a hip arthrogram MRI Which showed tendonosis... I waited over a week for a virtual visit.. Virtual visit was at 8 AM and the doctor did not get on till 10:30 AM I did wait for the appointment because my neurosurgeon wanted to know if the tendonosis could cause the symptoms I was having...NOT a clearance... to discuss/pinpoint where my symptoms might be coming from! I repeatedly asked if the symptoms I was having could be caused by tendinosis and the doctor blew me off every time. the only thing he kept repeating was that they do a steroid injection and stretch every day for the rest of my life. ...not helpful in getting to a reason for my symptoms. And not very nice because "he was already so behind"

Dr. deBeaubien did a hip replacement for me three years ago. I chose him because of his meticulous commitment to preventing infection. I was given careful instructions for preventing infection for my part of the responsibility and I followed them. The surgery was done at AscensionProvidence Hospital in Novi, Michigan. I am grateful that his work was well done.

I saw him after a serious knee injury that occurred when I was in the Army. I expressed to him how much I loved to run and how I was fearful that placing screws are would take that away. Weeks after a knee realignment I was playing and coaching soccer. Years later I am still fulfilling my love of running. I no longer live in the area but would fly Back home just to see him. He is a truly gifted surgeon and has excellent bedside manner. I am so appreciative of everything he did for me and would highly recommend him to anyone.

Dr. deBeaubien performed a total knee replacement in Dec. 2017 on me.I was worried about his ability, as he was new to a practice in Brighton. I have been with these surgeons for years! However; Dr. Brian is an awesome surgeon. I have had excellent results with my new Microport knee he used. I highly reccomend him, he pulls no punches, and tells you what to expect during recovery. Now, I need my 1 yr check up, and am very sorry to hear he has left Brighton, and went back to Saginaw.

Dr. deBeaubien did a total knee replacement on me on September 26th of 2018 at Providence Park Hospital in Novi. He is the only doctor I saw that said cortisone injections were a waste of time and money. This was my 13th surgery. Little did I know that seven months after surgery I would be playing 45 holes of golf per week and do my daily four mile walk on non-golf days. He is to the point and thorough! Extremely glad I went to him for a second opinion!!!

I highly recommend Dr DeBeaubien to anyone with knee issues. I was disappointed to learn I was assigned a new doctor to the practice until I met him. He's personable, has great knowledge & experience & truly cares for his patients. He did a Scope on my knee as he had confidence he could give me some time before I needed a knee replacement. I am so grateful he suggested it & I have total confidence in him. I can't say enough good things about him.

Dr. de Beaubien was the third orthopedic surgeon I was seeing for an infected hip! He was excellent!!! He was very detailed, and explained everything to me and my husband. Very clear in what my options were, and just how sick I was. He is a Dr. that pulls no punches, but is also very compassionate too! He also surrounds himself with staff that is much the same! Dr. de Beaubien has given me my life back by doing my revision surgery! I highly recommend him!!

The Microport knee that Dr. DeBeauvien uses is as superior as he says it is. Tremendous stability. I had a problem with range of motion after the replacement. Dr DeBeauvien willingly scheduled a manipulation in an effort to get me the range of motion that I want. In Medicine, things don't always go exactly as planned. But, Dr. DeBeauvien is willing to do what is needed to help you get the function needed. He is Pressian about preventing infection. I would highly recommend him.
