Brian D. Rinker's Online Review Report Card

Do NOT recommend. He left me permanently disfigured. Amazingly he lost my 'before" photos and never took the after photos because it was such a mess up. This was a simple chin implant that when I woke up from surgery he went in to place the implant through my mouth instead of under my chin. The implant is too large for my face, crooked and you can see and feel the sides of the implant on each side of my mandible as it was placed too low. He may be good at hand surgery but he should not be performing other plastic surgeries. I was butchered and changed my smile/my life. So unhappy.....

Dr Rinker did a breast flat closure after mastectomy/explant. The outcome was better than I expected. He removed all excess skin and the end result was a smooth flat closure. I highly recommend him.

I have no issues with what he did. My issue is that I was not scheduled correctly and my $100 consult payment wasn't taken and applied correctly. I showed up to my appointment a month later to be told it wasn't scheduled correctly and I couldn't be seen. When I complained I was told he doesn't usually schedule procedures. I scheduled and paid for my consult under the pretext that the $100 consult fee comes off the cost of the procedure. I was billed the full amount after the procedure. I requested to contest the amount because the $100 consult fee was not deducted. It was denied. I called and they gave me the phone number to his assistant. I leave a voice mail everyday but no one returns my call. If an employee is not capable of scheduling amd applying payme to correctly try they need to be trained or shouldn't be attempting to do it.

Zero bedside manner. Rude, disrespectful, bothered, hurtful, and worst of all, left me more scarred then before after a nipple reconstruction. I went to the Mayo Clinic thinking they were the best. Dr. Rinker is a poor representation of that organization. It is time for him to retire because he is clearly overwhelmed and he refused to help me in an already difficult situation.

Clearly this "doctor" is overwhelmed. Rude, disrespectful, uncaring and worst of all, left me more scarred from an attempt at a nipple reconstruction. I am permanently disfigured. If he couldn't do it, he should have said so. Unwilling to help or offer any other solution. The Mayo Clinic is supposedly the best of the best. "Dr." Rinker does not belong there. He should go back to work at whatever mill he came from.

Hurtful, dismissive, disrespectful, unprofessional, and worst of all, left me permanently disfigured from a botched nipple reconstruction. If his expertise was hand surgery, he should have stuck to that. So uncaring with zero bedside manner after he left me with scars. Terrible representation of the Mayo Clinic. I hope no one in his family has to go through the way he treated me. I would have been ...

Dr. Rinker performed DIEP flap reconstructive surgery of both breasts and follow-up reconstructive procedures. Beautiful results. Could not be more pleased. Doctor and his entire team are extremely responsive and compassionate. I am shocked to see negative reviews for this talented surgeon. I would highly recommend this physician. He is as kind as he is talented.

The staff and Dr. Rinker was wonderful. He answered all of my questions and gave all test that needed to be given for both breast and my hand surgeries. I received excellent care before, during and after surgery. I want to thank the staff and Dr. Rinker for being so good to me.

I had a double mastectomy with reconstruction by a tummy tuck. My breast are uneven. 1 is bigger than the other. 2 sizes bigger than I had asked for. When someone has NO CHOICE about having surgery, they expect to come out feeling better about their self. I've regretted letting him touch me. Not only did breast cancer devastate my life, Dr Rinker destroyed it. If I could give a negative score, I would.
