Brio Medical

Had 5 chemo treatments before going to Brio and wasn’t able to tolerate harsh side effects. There was nothing to endure at Brio except a little nausea and fatigue. Walked out 6 weeks later with almost flawless PET scan. Did some radiation with a Dr. Grado for a spot on pelvis. Bloodwork is back to normal with exception of glucose which is 3 points high (I’ll take it). Doing treatments now that mimic the ones I had at Brio, infrared heat, hyperbaric chamber, ozone and vitamin C infusions and supplements.

BE AWARE!!!
I spent over $80,000 and nine weeks there, April - June 2023. At first it was a decent experience, they have staffing and attitude issues, However, all the nurses and Michelle are great!
I witnessed several advanced cancer patients pass away while they were there, several patients spent copious amounts of money and months there. In May 2023 while I was there my tumor marker number was two, I returned home in June 2023, and 14 days after my return home my numbers skyrocketed to 70!!!! I started feeling crappy before I left the clinic but nobody would listen to me, just kept giving me vitamin C! My cancer came raging back before I got home. I contacted Brio several times to get my medical records in which they would only send me my blood draw reports, they gave me way too much vitamin C, and lied about chemo meds, only drop your blood sugar to 70 for the IPT, which is not effective and the targeted therapy, machines and after care are a JOKE!
I had to find another place for IPT, spend more money and still had to have my bladder, uterus and a lot of lymph nodes removed. I’m a young woman, and they destroyed my bladder with their treatments. They force everyone to sign an arbitration agreement and they hide under the veil of it. If you don’t know what an arbitration agreement is, it means you can’t sue them in a court of law. However, Interesting that they have a current lawsuit from one of their past doctors, Kollin v. Brio Inc. and were sued in 2018 for $8 million in medical fraud. All things I wish I knew before I decided to go to Brio. This place needs to be shut down. BE AWARE!!!!

The staff and facility were awesome. Very knowledgeable and helpful. In hindsight, wish I had checked into clinic sooner. Another thought is to continue chemo while doing these treatments. The body definitely benefits from all the procedures.

I chose alternative cancer treatment specifically to shrink a small, stage 1 tumor. I spoke with Dr Hellman in advance , sending my records and asking if the treatment would work for me or whether it was designed as an adjunct or after surgery care in lieu of chemo/ radiation. I was Assured this was primary care, the tumor was small enough to shrink and that the majority of their patients do well . Given that the program is designed as an intensive and expensive 4-6 weeks, one should expect some results, even if results "vary." I also made clear that I could not afford to repeat this treatment /did not have an additonal $30-40k to spend on care. That should have prompted a clear disclosure re: extensive and expensive treatment needed after, but it did not. More troublesome is that in my intial meeting with Dr Kollin, before any exam or review of my records, she pushed surgery, which was speficially what I made clear I wanted to avoid in seeking alternatives!!! Imagine a naturpoath telling me to have surgery when I just spent 40K and flew dropped everything to fly across country to be under her care!!!Pressure for surgery despite her unwilligness to give an opinion as to progress contuned, adding to my distress as this was 180 degrees from the protocol they offer. II wish I could say I made profress in overall health but the diet is what I've been following for years with monor tweaks. and my initial labs were great and the tumor markers (which are normal)did not change at all. I also asked in advance how progress is tracked and was told they use makers, sonograms and exams, but dr was unwilling to give ANY opinion, saying that she's not a "diagnostician" and that the markers are unreliable, far from the intial assurances. I am now left with a hastily prepared DYI post care plan that will cost several thousands of dollars a month PLUS a few more thousand in equipment.In short, the "miracle" video from the founder plus the intial calls with the Dr were wholly misleading. Further, the staff mutes concerns with admonishments to "stay positve, " "believe" and "trust in the lord" and outright shaming that "your negative thoughts are causing your cancer." They are in this for a profit. Further the first week was so over capacity with patients tthat I spent more time waiting and than in treatments while the the owners and patients' family members had free treatmentes DURING clinic hours.I do not feel my expectations were unrealtic. I was misled and Omitting necessary disclosures left me with debt, not the great "hope" Rusty, the owner and Dr Hellman promise. My advice is to to Research more established clincs and treatments you can do yourself , fonlt let them pressure you into making a decision like I was before you commit and get clear answers to your questions.

I came to Brio Medical for my Husband .
From the time you enter the door your fear slips away .
Around the third day , it feels like your coming home when you enter and everyone knows your name .
Professional and personal , a beautiful combination

I’ve been coming to the clinic for treatment sporadically since Dec. of 2019. Having been told by my oncologist that nothing more could be done for me, the search was on . I have learned that something can always be done and my time spent here at Brio medical clinic has been the best investment in my health. I walk through the door confident I’ll be under the best care possible anywhere. I walk out the door with energy and peace.

I have been going a few weeks and couldn’t be happier. Feeling energized and feeling better. Doctors and Staff are so welcoming!!

I arrived with back pain and leaving with no back pain and feeling great!
