Dr. Brenner was rude, unprofessional, and lacked compassion for my husband, who sought care from him. He sent him a badly written letter that I showed to other medical professionals, who were horrified at its content. Dr. Brenner did absolutely nothing to help my husband, and was crass and uncaring.

I'VE BEEN TO THEM ALL, THE NATUALISTS,THE ENERGY SPECIALISTS, DR. GARY BRENNER IS THE GREATEST.I'M SURE THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS ARE FROM PEOPLE WHO COULD NOT OBTAIN PAIN MEDS FROM DR. BRENNER. DR. BRENNER TREATS THE PROBLEM, DOES NOT FEED THE ADDICTIONS. I BELIEVE, DR. BRENNERS' HANDS AND BEING DO GODS' WORK.

Dr. Brenner was completely useless and knew less about nerves than I do. He was brazenly inappropriate (telling multiple completely inappropriate jokes when I am in disabling pain), dismissive, NOT at all helpful, and over an hour late. Saw me for 10 minutes despite having given me a "45 minute" appointment slot. Unbelievable for an MGH MD/PhD to be so useless. DO NOT GO

As long as you don't ask him any questions about your health, he's fine.
