I underwent CABG on Sept 26 2019, at Baylor Heart Hospital. He had done the procedure and I was under his care.His approach to the patient, the way he explained and discussed various alternative procedures and their outcomes is something to be seen to be believed. I am a retired general surgeon from India and was visiting here. I think other doctors can learn a lot from him, both professionally and also being humane. In other words If there is a well rounded Doctor, he is the one. Thank you Dr William Brinkman.

I had Dr. Brinkman replace 4 vessels that were too clogged to stint. He is a master at his craft. Very experienced surgeon.

His office staff is a joke. I called four times to get an appointment. I produced recent medical records, faxed over information, and now they want me to go see a cardiologist first. You couldn't tell me that on day 1. He mig

Doctor Brinkman was outstanding in every way as we met to talk about how I was going to proceed with my ascending aorta aneurysm. He spent over an hour and explained to me what my options where and gave me a detail explanation of how he would proceed. I have 100% confidence in Dr. Brinkman that he will be able to fix my problem with surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Brinkman.............. bob torti
