Great visit. Super attentive. Engaging, and knowledgeable.
Takes time to listen, gives great advice, very short wait time & has a great sense of humor lol
Very professional. Easy to talk to
Dr. Brandies is truly an exceptional physician whose care and expertise have made a profound difference in my life. I first came to Dr. Brindise in 2020 for a herniated disc in my neck, and thanks to his outstanding surgical skill and thoughtful follow-up care, I was able to fully recover and return to my everyday activities. More recently, I saw Dr. Brindise for severe pain shooting down the back of my right leg after an injury. Having experienced his care before, I knew I was in the best hands. True to form, Dr. Brindise took the time to listen carefully, assess my situation thoroughly, and create a plan that would give me relief. What sets Dr. Brindise apart is not only his deep medical expertise but also his compassionate, patient-centered approach. He explains everything clearly, answering all questions, and genuinely cares about improving his patients’ quality of life. He is simply the best!
