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.

Dr. Brion is an excellent doctor, highly recommend

Try Dr. Brion you will be pleased
My husband and I have been a patient of Dr Brion since 2011? We both have always been pleased. Dr. Brion is easy to talk to, and listens. He quickly managed both our severe RA pain. The front staff is efficient and friendly, as is the nursing staff. The office is clean, and appointments are honored in a timely manner. Kbackus

He has a an approach that seems very preventative and safe. I look forward to using him for my care for many years to come.

I highly respect and recommend Dr. Brion. He is combination of a great coach, medical detective, collaborator, role model, and honorable person. As an overly independent person, it is hard to be vulnerable and the nature of SLE diagnosis felt disempowering until I started working with Dr Brion. His humble confidence, nurturing compassion paired with his keen mind and willingness to field my varies concerns has empowered me focus on what I can do, be as healthy, and active as possible. Grateful he is my Rheumatologist!

Ive been a patient of Dr. Brion's for many years and hold him in the highest regard as a Doctor & a healer. He has an absolutely wonderful staff which has been there as long as Ive been his patient. I dont think Ive ever met a doctor who holds on to his staff as long as Dr Brion! He is also is a good listener and those are hard to come by!

I would highly recommend Dr Brion. As a senior with many different concerns from aches to rashes to autoimmune concerns, I was looking for an “umbrella” doc: someone who could look over a vast array of tests and divine a way forward...all with a smile and 1/2 sheet of paper with suggestions for further research on my part! I mean, what’s there not to like?

I have been seeing Dr. Brion for about 7 years. He was my second opinion doctor who confirmed my Rheumatoid Arthritis diagnosis. I love everything about him and the office. He leaves no stone unturned trying to figure out how to manage R.A. BTW, is currently very well managed. Office staff are very professional, efficient, and nice! He also plays nice with other doctors (Primary and Dermatologist). Highly, highly recommend.

I've moved from state to state multiple times. This is the 3rd state I've moved to and hence, 3rd Rheumatologist. He's outstanding! Friendly. Smart.. Spot On! One of the best! I'd easily recommend him to others. Especially those that may be new to the area in need of finding a new specialist.

Dr. P. Brion makes you feel at ease the moment he walks in the exam room. All of his staff are very professional and courteous as well. If you are a people person you will feel the same. I believe do until to others as you would have them to do for you. Back to Dr. Brion; he gives good feed back on your condition and has no issues with you asking him questions about your concerns . . .
