Patient Reviews
May 13, 2020
Great guy but needed to advice me on what my best treatment was. Regret leaving him could not get a definitive answer from him as to whether I should have surgery as nothing else affordable was working. I wish I would have had the gel shots that cost $600 with him but I went to another doctor Meir who was horrible and I had surgery with and he did shoddy overly invasive surgery causing me worse pain. Never trust the reviews you read on a doctor. Dr. Meirs' front desk staff calls and asks you to give them five stars. I made the mistake of doing it because the front desk guy was so nice to me. overall I would have given them 0 stars as far as the doctor is concerned and surgery facility call Lapeer surgery. Only go to surgery of the Pacific center in Santa Monica. I love doctor Brian's bedside manner and have big regrets leaving him
