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.

Great Experience
Dr. Brinton was thorough and professional and assessed my mom's problem and explained what she needed to do and ways to help her pain on her own. He also gave her an injection which helped immediately. She was very impressed with him, always recommends him to others now.

Doctor Brinton is one of the best doctors I have had the pleasure of seeing in all of my 64 years. He is attentive, understanding, extremely capable, logical... he is exactly what you would expect from the most sophisticated medical system in the world. In my case he has correctly diagnosed my hip troubles, provided ultrasound guided cortisone injections, and kindly responded to my worries of how long, how soon, how often, side effects, etc. All of this is on a timely basis without extended waits to see him and with courteous professional staff. I would give him 10 stars if I could.

Dr. Brinton is the best!!
I have 5 sons and most of them have been to see Dr. Brinton for some kind of sports injury. He has been very thorough with every one and made sure that they get the treatment they need to return back to play as soon as possible.

Dr. Brinton was very nice and took x-rays , injected knee drained knee injected again. I asked to get an MRI and he did not want to said I just had Gout flair up. To go rest for a couple of weeks and if then I needed a surgeon he knew of two. I was not getting better so I went ahead and had an MRI done and paid for it myself. I have a acute sprain of the ACL and a torn MCL and a ganglion cyst in knee. I have an appointment with another doctor to hopefully help me get better.

I have read some of these reviews and I cannot understand some patient's expectations. Dr. Brinton is very professional, wise, thoughtful, and careful in his prognoses and recommendations for therapies. He has never led me astray in 15 years of visits about various sports related injuries. Of course he is going to second guess what patients think is going on because he has a medical degree and thousands of diagnoses.

I would never recommend this Dr, to anyone. He doesn't explain anything. He didn't listen to my concerns. I went to him with a knee problem. I had a bad reaction to the cortisone shot he insisted on giving me. I called back, they reluctantly let me come in next day. He was very arrogant and condescending. Problem got much worse. Assistant called back and said I was welcome to go some where else for a second opinion. Worst experience ever had with a Dr.

I went in to see Dr. Brinton because my regular knee doctor could not see me for about 2 weeks. I was pretty disappointed. I felt like he didn't really listen to me about what I thought was wrong. It was a knee that I had previous knee surgeries on, so I knew what to expect. He kind of brushed me off like it was just a flare up and then played with the idea that my meniscus could be torn. I got in to see my regular doctor and he said, It's not a torn meniscus. I left feeling very frustrated.
