Dr.Brinker and his complete staff are absolutely fabulous! They are very thorough very professional, and actually a delight to be in the company of. I met him and the crew yesterday for the first time, but I felt as though I’d known them a long time. Dr.Brinker will be preforming surgery on me next month and I feel confident that I’m in good hands!!
Dr. Mark Brinker has my unconditional support. I’m fortunate to have had him perform my surgery. I was being seen by an orthopedic surgeon from another hospital regarding my hands & he asked about my right hip. He knew I was in a great deal of pain. I told him Dr. Brinker was going to perform my operation. He gave me a pat on the back and told me to relax, Dr. Brinker is the “BEST OF THE BEST”. I’m one week & (3) days post op. Except for the expected discomfort, I’m doing great. I trust Dr. Brinker unconditional, and you should too. He an outstanding track record, great bedside manners. Phenomenal staff(they care). PS: The facilities & nurses at Texas Orthopedic Hospital are first class.
This clinic is incredible. The doctors and staff are great and really care for their patients. My surgery went well and was as pleasant as could be. Very pleased with this clinic.
It's been over 18 year's since I first saw doctor Brinker and he still treated me as it was his first time even referred me to another great doctor David loncarich they bought treated me great not just as another dollar they could make thank you Lord for doctors like them
Very organized office! Waiting is minimal. Dr. Brinker is very kind, detail oriented, straight to the point and listens well!! All employees I have come in contact with have been very nice, friendly and so nice!
Dr. Brinker is very straightforward! I love how he gave me all the facts and assured me and my family that we were in good hands.
Discussed complexity of my fracture, sent me for a CT Scan, done quickly, will return this week for consultation with 2mds to decide best action to take. Was very pleased with my visit
After being released for Physical Therapy following a year long and two surgeries procedure, I had a scare following my first week of Physical therapy. I called to get checked out and Dr. Brinkers team got me in within a week to get x-rays. Fortunately everything is fine, just a slow healing process, however they took me seriously and followed up to my concerns. Very impressive.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Dr. Mark Brinker for his excellent care and professionalism. Thanks to his treatment, I have been able to regain hope that I will be able to return to a good quality of life. From my very first appointment, I felt listened to and confident that I was in good hands. His staff is extremely kind, attentive, and efficient, which makes the entire experience even more positive. I would definitely recommend Dr. Brinker to anyone in need of high-quality medical care.
The most professional, punctual doctor place I've ever, EVER been at. Just top notch treatment by far!<br>Thank you so very much. Wish you could train others to work like you do.
I would highly recommend Dr. Brinker. He saved my ankle after being very badly broken. I am so glad I ended up under his care at the Fondren Clinic.
I had a brief consult with Dr Brinker and have a follow-up appointment in a few weeks which will give me an opportunity to get to know him. However, his staff was very helpful when I called back to schedule an appointment and they answered the questions I needed.
Best ortho. Ever ! I had a broken femur Dr brinker replaced! 2 other doctors told me I needed a hip! That would not have fixed!<br>Dr Goytia diagnosed Dr Brinker fixed!!!
Dr. Mark Brinker is excellent! He is extremely knowledgeable & a very skilled surgeon. I was very lucky & didn't require surgery for my injury. After meeting many of his other patients in physical therapy, I learned that Dr. Brinker takes on all the surgical cases that are tough. He has a straightforward, no BS bedside manner, which I highly appreciated. I highly recommend Dr. Brinker.
dr. brinker was the ONLY doctor able to diagnose me of my rare disability (miserable malalignment syndrome) !!! he was AMAZING and hilarious!! he made much more light of the situation than any other doctor could!!! i was one of the youngest patients, and he did my femur osteonomy when i was just 13 years old. painful but WORTH IT!!! now i wont develop arthritis early. THANK YOU DR BRINKER + MISS YA!!
Well all I have to say about Mr<br>Brinker,M.D. is that he is a straight up Dr. Who is not going to feed you some b.s. about your restrictions. Now you either can respect or reject what he says and and don't take anything personal and just do your best is what was told to me. It's all good.
I Really Appreciate Dr Brinker For Seeing Me. He<br>Was Honest And I Appreciate That So Much. He<br>Recommend One Of His Associates That Might<br>Be Able T Help Me. Thank You So Much! 🙏🏼 …
Dr. Brinker is 1 of the best Orthopedic Drs in the world & we're lucky to have him here in Houston. He performed a femur straightening procedure on me through the smallest of incisions ...new definition of "minimally invasive" ....would recommend him to anyone with complex Orthopedic issues ...he's your guy.
Dr. Brinker was right on top of everything when he was handed my case. He was informative, I even remember laughing at one point which is unusual for me cause doctors make me nervous, but Dr. Brinker made me feel very comfortable.
