Dr. Brei was my doctor for close to 15 years at Riley Hospital. He was always caring and straight forward with me and my family even from a young age, and he always advocated for my rights and needs.You could not ask for a better Doctor for your child.
-
Dr. Brei was my daughter's developmental Dr. at Riley Hospital for the 10 1/2 years of her life. I highly recommend him as a compassionate, reliable and extremely knowledgeable physician. Kristin has many doctors through the years, but Dr. Brei was my favorite. I could always trust that what he told me to be true and what he prescribed to be best. It's been 11 years since my daughter passed away, but I've never forgotten Dr. Brei and how much he helped us during her life.
-
Dr. Brei is amazing. He is compassionate, understanding, professional, knowledgeable, and he truly connected with my child. He was an advocate for my child's needs as well as my needs as a parent. I highly recommend him to anyone with a special needs child.
