Dr. Brionez doesn’t have appointments. She has visits. That’s what it feels like when you go to see her, as if you are visiting a friend.
– Patton M.
Dr. Brionez takes the time to explain the treatment not only to the patient, but to (in my case) the patient’s husband. She really understands family dynamics!
