Dr. Brizendine is the worst care provider I have ever experienced. He was not at all interested in my input. He was aggressive and dismissive, even rolling his eyes at me at one point. My son and I drove in from the other side of the state, paid for a hotel, just to have our time wasted with prideful lectures on the history of the immune system. All my CC treatment team wanted was to have him rule some things out but he refused. He made up his mind that HE was the final say and that my concerns were a waste of time. I left in tears and went straight to a patient advocate. I pray there are consequences for his gross mistreatment of us.
