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.

In 2020 had gallbladder removal due to non functioning. Dr. Brinkman also took my appendix even though it was healthy according to report. I had e coli infection and was anemic three days after surgery. Another hospital saved me and transferred me back to his care. I was drained while awake and two drains placed at different times. After six months of having blood in my pelvis my OBGYN removed it since he refused to. No follow up labs or care given. A cancer center followed me afterwards for six months. I have a chronic pain upper left abdomen since my surgery.

I met Dr Brinkman in wound care treatment after emergency surgery due to acute diverticulitis. He took such good care of me and showed he genuinely cared. He was so extremely trustworthy I asked him to do my reversal. That was 04-21-2016. I would highly recommend him for surgery again. I was never scared.
