5.0 star star star star starDr. Brievia was amazing! He went beyond just asking about my issues related to my skin but reviewed my medical history and previous lab results to get to the bottom of the cause of my discomfort. His nurses were also very helpful.

5.0 star star star star starI was extremely pleased with the time that Dr. Brieva spent during my visit with him. Within minutes of his arrival it was apparent that the doctor had reviewed my medical history. During my examination he advised me of his findings and the plan in treating those areas that required treatment. He discovered three skin cancer growths and suspected they were basal and squamous cell. He performed the necessary biopsies, without any pain on my part, and advised that I needed to schedule surgery to remove the cancerous. Dr. Brieva provided me the amount of time I needed to ask questions, and adequately answered them with explanations. He conducted himself in a courteous and professional manner. Dr. Brieva made feel he really cared about overall health.
