Dr. Brinkman is a compassionate and caring surgeon. He takes his time to get to know you as an individual. He had a great bedside manner and explains in detail about the procedure he will be doing on you and explains after the surgery what exactly he did. I would definitely return to him if I need another surgery.

He charges 315.00 for a initial visit. I was referred by my primary care physician. All I was there for was to confirm if i need treatment for a possible condition. I did not. The visit lasted 8 mins.
