Excellent physician.
Dr Brolin is my "go to" orthopedic surgeon. Great at explaining and listening. His skill set is second to none! I'm thankful to have him available for my medical needs.
Dr Brolin is awesome! His has a caring spirit.
Excellent doctor. He is very caring about getting me back to as normal as possible.
Very personable and knowledgeable. Took time to explain everything and answered all my concerns.
During the first minutes of the appointment while meeting with an Associate of Dr Brolin's I really came to realize that they don't really care about numbers, as some surgeons do, but about a real person sitting in front of them. I also got the same feeling of empathy from Dr Brolin. Both men did not show any indication of having to leave my room quickly to go to another one, but they listened to me and did a thorough examination that not only focused on what I could do with a torn rotator cuff but the amount of pain that each move was causing. My treatment will not end in surgery, so I can't report anything beyond about what I know at this point. They wrote orders for the rehab unit that I am in, as well as orders for me to take home for in-home therapy to continue the work that's done here. My only regret is that I can just go up to 5 stars, because as far as I'm concerned, this entire operation is 10 star, gold star material. Look no further- this should be where your search ends!
Dr Brolin is on time and makes one feel completely at ease. He will answer any questions, but also seems to be respectful of the time and does his best to move things along.
I am having shoulder problems. Dr. Brolin suggested a cortisone shot. It was painless and helped me immediately.
Very helpful, polite and professional.
Exception Doctor this is my second surgery and I'm totally confidant he will do a great job.
