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.

Best surgeon.
Dr Brinks performed my hernia repair surgery, everything was fine and smooth, is been only 2 weeks and I feel great, thank you Dr Brinks. I knew since I talk to you that I was in the best hands.

One year and pain worse
Was supposed to be healed in 8 weeks . A year later my pain is worse than ever. Did all I was supposed to do and now I fear I will have to deal with this the rest of my life . I had faith in him and great bedside manner but something is not right now … didn’t fix the original pain area either . Just gave me 4 more …

Dr. Brink’s bedside manner is the best of the best. He goes above and beyond to take time to discuss and explain the issue. He was never in a rush to leave and made me feel at ease throughout my hospital stay.

Unwarranted Anxiety
I consider myself an anxious patient. After a pre-surgery appointment at Dr. Brink's office, I knew I selected the right surgeon for my Hernia surgery. The moment I walked into Pasadena HCA Hospital for my surgery, the staff was so friendly and reassuring, and the facility was clean and recently remodeled. From the prep nurses to the anesthesiologists to Dr. Brink (each of them visiting me as my surgery neared), I just felt relaxed and ready. I never saw the inside of the OR, as I woke up in the Recovery Room after surgery with the same friendly face of the nurse who prepped me prior to my anesthesia. My recovery has been swift and mostly pain-free. This facility will be my first choice should I ever need surgery in the future.

Amazing physician
Wonderful doctor and staff. Extremely professional yet has a great ‘bedside’ manner. Listens and explains treatments. My wound was suppose to heal within 14-16 weeks but after 8 weeks I’m totally healed. Excellent treatment and nurses. Highly recommend this practice

Gallbladder removal surgery
He is an amazing surgeon! He removed my gallbladder, and it went very smoothly. Even after when I had normal pain and concerns he spent an extensive amount of time on the phone with me; and made me feel very comfortable. Very good doctor.

Excellent Surgeon
I had my gallbladder removed and Dr. Brink was my Surgeon. I can only speak highly of him as a person and a Surgeon. He was there before the operation communicating with me letting me know what to expect. After the operation he checked up on me several times. Very kind and professional person who takes pride in what he is doing. I recovered quickly and I'm grateful Dr. Brink was my Surgeon.
