Very personable.
Dr. Brolin is very personable and very professional. He cares for and about his patients.
Very thorough examination and explanation. Appreciated
Great doctor
Dr. Brolin was very personable and professional. Walked my arm through all possible range of motion and determined a treatment plan. His resident was very thorough in his assessment also. Office staff seemed to be very happy and enjoyed their jobs. It was quite nice to have my x-ray taken at the office. Everyone was highly efficient. Dr. Brolin did not seem rushed at all and spoke to me in length about my situation and treatment. I was prepared for a lengthy doctor visit wait and it was not the case. It was a very pleasant experience. The only thing that I had to figure out was what to do with all of the time I had blocked off for this appointment that was not needed, LOL! This was a great experience. Thank you to the entire team
Dr. Brolin is wonderful. Very thorough and knowledgeable. He’s great at explaining everything so you can understand. If you have any type of shoulder or elbow issues, he’s the one I’d recommend.
He’s an excellent Dr. we really like and appreciate Dr. Brolin
Dr. Brolin is a very energetic and positive surgeon. He was pleased with the progress I have been making with my Occupational Therapist. My shoulder is getting stronger and my left arm and hand have shown remarkable improvement in the regeneration of nerves which were thought to be dead. The arm and hand are still not fully functional. Dr. Brolin suggested that I continue with my OT for another six weeks and then reevaluate. If it appears that the therapy has plateaued, he will introduce me to a hand surgeon for an evaluation. Hopefully there will be other options for us to explore. I am so grateful for the attention he has given me to try to restore use of my arm and hand which was lost due to a misdiagnosis left untreated. Thank you, Dr. Brolin, for a successful shoulder replacement, and for your efforts to repair a useless arm and hand. I won’t give up on this journey!
He’s the best at what he does! Always kind and caring! Love him
Dr Brolin continues to be professional, honest, and positive. He gets my highest recommendation!
