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.

Would not recommend as a PCP
Firstly he was 30 minutes late to my appointment. We were supposed to discuss a pre-existing condition at my physical and he ended up billing me for a special appointment. Please avoid if you have any special conditions you want to discuss.

Patient opinions not taken seriously
Very friendly but seems not open to new knowledge that contradicts traditionally accepted dogma. Appointment felt rushed. Questioned cholesterol treatment based on a book I had read written by a cardiologist and my views were not taken seriously and dismissed like I wasn't qualified to question him.

Solid, astute and compassionate PMP
Over the past 10 years, My experience with Dr. Brincheiro has been very positive. In a very busy practice, I never felt rushed or dismissed in any of my visits (both in person and telehealth.) My wait times have always been reasonable and he has always taken the time to review my records, listen to my current situation, and diagnose the right next steps. He is adept at navigating the medical / insurance system, and provides alternative options for me to choose for both health actions and providers. I have recommended Dr. Brincheiro to my son. That clearly demonstrates my faith in his competency and caring.

Our boys see Dr. Brinchero. He’s thoughtful and kind to them. I’m happy to have made the switch.

He's extremely fatphobic and shamey. Even if you agree with him that you need to lose weight, he'll treat you like you're blowing smoke. He uses classic "You're going to die" scare tactics, even with anxiety patients. All of this is extremely hypocritical from a man of substantial size himself.

Dr. Brincheiro is very kind and very thorough. His front office staff is amazing and has always been very helpful and caring. Jenn at the front desk has gone above and beyond to help me with an insurance issue. I highly recommend this office!!

This is a review of the inept office staff, not the provider. They are rude, arrogant and do not know how to do their jobs. They are extremely disrespectful and insensitive in an industry where one would think these two attributes are most important. Just awful.

I regularly recommend Dr. Brincheiro to friends. Frank is a deeply compassionate person who cares for your total well being. Since I was a volunteer EMT, he adopts his conversations with me to speak at my level.

I was having severe pain in my back. He recommended an anti-inflammatory that did nothing. I was in agony and called the office twice the next day and he didn't have the decency to call me back. I have been a heath care provider for 23 years. Worst experience I've had with a doctor. Don't be in pain on a Friday with him as your doctor. I'm changing on Monday.
