New England Diabetes & Endocrinology Center: Stuart J. Brink, MD

Dr. Brink misdiagnosed my brother back in 1992 causing him to nearly die at 11 years old, at Newton Wellesley Hospital where he practiced at the time. The kicker was his behavior when my parents wanted a second opinion from another doctor/facility as his condition kept deteriorating. Dr. Brink actually tried to prevent the other facility (Children's hospital) from treating my brother, telling the attending doctors and nurses, "He's my patient!" Turns out Childrens diagnosed him correctly (he had Hydrolic Uremic Syndrome) and saved his life. Needless to say my family stopped seeing Dr. Brink shortly afterwards. (We had been seeing him for my brother's juvenile diabetes and my high cholesterol since 1987) The allegations of sexual misconduct do not surprise me. The fact that he is still practicing 25 years later is quite unnerving. It's too bad we couldn't leave online reviews back then but......better late than never, right Dr. Brink? Sincerely yours, William T. McGrath
