I was extremely fortunate to get Dr. Brien. Communication about my cancer options was presented to me in a detailed but simple manor. I could tell that he genuinely cares about his patients and is very trustworthy. His skills are comprehensive , cutting edge and he has an pristine medical record all of which made me feel at ease knowing that I'm in good hands and that I made the right choice. If you have any urinary or prostate issues I strongly urge you to make an appointment.
