I have been going to Dr Briones for 6-7 years as both my bariatric MD and my PCP. She has always been supportive and sensitive to my needs and never makes you feel guilty when you gain weight. Dr Briones always takes the time to talk with you at every appointment to make sure you are doing well. She will even reach out to you if she doesn't hear from you. I would highly recommend her as a physician.

Dr. Briones is compassionate, kind, caring, positive and supportive! I cannot say enough about how wonderful she and her staff have been. One of the few doctors that really "get it" about weight loss and how to treat patients like people.
