Patient Reviews
Jan 26, 2016
Dr. Brinckhaus is a very caring doctor. He truly listens to his patients and always seems to take them and their feelings into consideration. When a visit to this doctor is finished, he always asks if the patient has any further concerns or questions they'd like to discuss. When he is with his patient, at the time he is in the room he never seems to act like he's anxious or in a hurry, but the patient is his only concern while he is with them. GREAT doctor and human being.
