Dr. Charles William Brian, MD

Horrible experience with this doctor in the er! I wouldn't recommend him to anyone! I laid in the er hour over an hour and 20 minutes waiting for him in excruciating pain! When he finally came in he was the most hateful, arrogant, no caring doctor I've ever delt with and I've delt with very many in my state of health! There should be negative stars for this doctor!

I had been very sick with breathing problems for over a year. I spent multiple E.R. visits to both St. Mary's and Deaconess Gateway plus Convenient Care. None of the doctors who tended to my problem ever solved it completely. Sent me on my way with a Z-pack and prednisone which worked only for the time I took it. Month after month I went back and forth keeled over & not being able to take in a full breath. All the x-rays were normal, plus blood, etc. Well this very last time I was so short winded I went to Gateway cause it is closer to where I live. Dr. Brian was my E.R. doctor. I had an instant feeling about him helping me. He did all the tests and unlike any other doctor, he suggested a Cat-Scan of my lungs so that he could see 'behind' them. Well, he quite possibly saved my life that night cause when the tests came back, he told me I had fluid behind my lungs, indicating pneumonia. 'Behind' my lungs? Wow!! I am alive!! I can take in a complete breath now!!! I praise this doctor for… thinking outside the box and can't thank him enough for his wisdom and knowledge and compassion in knowing what to do and how to treat me. "Thank you Dr. Brian! I truly believe you saved my life!" God bless you!!!
