“Very thorough and experienced physician”
We came to see Dr. Brink to evaluate my daughter who was growing very slowly, at age 11. Dr Brink met with us, took a very thorough medical history, did an exam and sent us for tests. He ruled out growth hormone deficiency and is currently working on monitoring my child for growth and development. We will continue to work with the physician and hopefully there will be progress.

“Excellent Experience!”
Dr. Brink has been fantastic. He has been seeing two of my boys for over two years for short stature/growth hormone related issues. He is very patient with them (and me!) and takes the time to answer all of our questions. We have been very pleased with Dr. Brink.
