Dr. Brien is a one of a kind compassionate, intelligent, and engages you in conversations regarding your health. It's very rare to find a doctor that really cares and spends the time you need to get well. He doesn't act arrogant or demeaning so I feel very comfortable talking about my health.

No respect for patients: late every time when asked why late: nurse says "Had a hospital emergency" everyone in the room laughed. Last visit very pompously said: IF YOU LOOSE 20LBS YOU WILL GET OUT OF INSULIN. HE put me on insulin 30lbs ago.

Both myself,my spouse,her mother,& his Office manager had unsatisfactory encounters.He rushes clients,doesn't listen to patient ?'s & talks about himself nonstop. Overcharges on Lab test eg Thyroid panel cost at other Drs $75 His cost $275! Where other drs tell results phone he makes you come in, to charge for another office visit.His Office Manager was throwing up dizzy & her pupil in 1 eye was dialated the other was'nt.He saw this & wouldn't let her go home. Later that day she threw a brain anurism! He only paid her 1/2 days pay! He misread potassium level test in my spouses mom, she kept getting weaker went to hospital the low levels almost killed her.My spouse had cancer in remission- upon yrly test he told her the cancer was back. We were horrified & then said "Wait a minute, maybe that wasn't YOUR report.He looked @HER report & said "No your fine wrong patient!" Not an "I am sorry or any accountability for his lack of recklass attn 2 details,Zero. That was it 4 us, we fired him!

No respect for patients time, had appointment for 9am and he had not shown by 10. Not good at detail does not read files, gets involved in political discussions while patients wait an wait….

He heard what I had to say, but he never listened to what I had to say. The tests he wanted me to take Humana said were excessive/unnecessary and wouldn’t pay. Most of his staff were very very very unprofessional.

I was told I was covered and then upon checking out I was not and it cost me 395. not too mention he gave the worsst news to me personally gave meds and sent me on my way, prescribed medicine no one uses anymore that cause adrenal problems. all new dr.s said to run not walk away from this dr. He is not up on his drug presciptions. Not to mention everytime I went to see him he had no idea what I was taking how much he has prescribed…He accidentally prescribed me double doses and wrote down wrong refill number. Pharmacist caught it all!!!!

In the beginning of March of 2013, my dad came to see Dr. Brien because his sugar was very high, and he had no appetite. He did nothing to regulate my dad’s sugar, and let my his sugar go out of control. He tested my dad for prostate cancer, and his kidney function in December of 2012. High risk for prostate cancer in a PSA test is 10.0, my dad’s PSA level was 16.6. He ignored his high levels of PSA back in December of 2012, and checked his PSA levels again in March 2013, and his PSA levels increased from 16.6 to 60.6 within the three months he ignored the PSA levels, and allowed my dad to develop Advanced Stage 4 Prostate Cancer. By the time Dr. Brien’s office finally ordered a biopsy and bone scan, he had cancer throughout his whole body. For over two years, his blood work showed loss of kidney function, and he did not bother to refer my dad to a kidney specialist until being forced due to not being cleared for a CATSCAN. By this time he only had 40% kidney function left.
