Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Brenner offered clear information. He listened attentively, answered questions, explained details, and promptly offered his advice on both the endoscopy and colonoscopy. I respect his professionalism.

My Recent Visit
My visit with Dr Brenner was very informative & thorough. I told him of a matter that was upsetting me. (It was not related to his care or even to this visit.) He listened patiently; & in his calm manner - made one comment that led me to what I needed to do to settle the matter upsetting me. It was more than a Dr visit. It was more like discussing something with a caring friend. I have known Dr Brenner a very long time. He's always been genuinely kind & helpful. I'm very grateful he is still practicing.

I visited Dr. Brenner for a colonoscopy appointment and issues with gastric reflux. Dr. Brenner and his staff were very accommodating, efficient and knowledgeable. I definitely recommend Dr. Brenner for your colon, abdominal and esophageal concerns.

Dr Brenner is an excellent physician
Dr Brenner is always calm whenever I have had an appointment with him. This is very reassuring. He explains exactly what he finds upon examination and why he is ordering certain tests. When I leave the appointment I feel confident that Dr Brenner is 100% looking out for me by taking every test necessary to make sure that I am in good health. I have been seeing Dr Brenner for many years and refer him to everyone who needs a gastroenterologist. Thank you for the opportunity to review Dr Howard Brenner.
