"Dr. Brinkman is more than just a surgeon. He's a surgeon that truly cares about the well-being of his patients. Knowledgeable, caring, informative, trusting, are just a few adjectives to describe Dr. Brinkman."

-- Troy Oakley, Aortic Valve, Root Replacement, 01/03/2023

"Dr. Brinkman did an aortic valve replacement for a bicuspid valve and aneurysm repair in the ascending aorta. He answered all my questions pre-op and gave me confidence in his knowledge and care.

The procedure was without problem. Post-op, Dr. Brinkman and his team provided excellent care in the hospital. The procedure was minimally-invasive and left me with a small scar. I had no pain. I highly recommend Dr. Brinkman."
