I would highly recommend Dr Brigden. He helped me with my care through having breast cancer in my thirties. He's not much for small talk but I don't mind that. When you were with him, his full attention was with you. He was very knowledgeable about recurrance prevention and went out of his way to tell me about stats that would help me keep positive . He's a great doctor.

Dr Brigden has been looking after my husbands prostate cancer for almost 3 years.he is very punctual but does not stay around to make small talk.His care has been excellent and always takes the time to answer our questions and supply us with copies of the blood work and X-rays.We have also seen the nurse practitioner on several occasions and she has been most helpful.The waiting room can be quite crowded but the noise levels are acceptable.We have sometimes wished there was more space where we could have private conversations, but all and all it is far better than when we have had to go to Calgary for special treatments or tests.we are very lucky to have our own clinic in Lethbridge

Dr Brigden looked after my blood clot that was associated with my cancer. On 2 occasions he and the navigator Wendy called me personally with results of my tests because it was a holiday and the results might be delayed. I was really impressed how friendly everyone was and how they worked as a team on my care

Dr brigden looked after my husband when our regular oncologist in PEI was away. He went out of his way to review all of the old records and arrange an MRI since he was concerned about an increase in back pain. He also spoke directly to our family doctor on our behalfs. We were very impressed with this doctors professionalism and thorough approach. We hope he considers moving to the island full time.

My husband was under Dr. Brigden's care for many years. He was always professional, honest, and kind and tried hard to give my husband the best advice based on current research. Dr. Brigden does an amazing job in an extremely difficult field of practice.

Dr Brigden saved my husband's life in 2016. He was extremely compassionate and knowledgeable. He was able to articulate a very difficult diagnosis with empathy, combined with a very understandable language. He was very direct in his approach, which was greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend Dr Brigden.

My father was diagnosed with Cancer in August, and Dr.Brigden informed me over the phone. He told me that my dads cancer had likely spread, and I really was NOT impressed by how he told me. He said "If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it's probably a duck." I'm sorry but shouldn't that kind of life altering news be delivered a little bit better?

My dad also told me that while Dr.Brigden was telling him the news on his cancer, he was laying on the bed in the examine room... So unprofessional. You need to learn some compassion and be aware of how you deliver that kind of news :(

Dr Brigden took care of my father while he was dying of cancer of the pancreas. When my dad wanted to try other therapies he did not try to discourage us and was really there for us when his disease progressed. Even though the chemical treatments only worked for a few months the pain control doctors were always available. My family was very pleased with the care my dad received

Dr Brigden has now looked aftr my wifes breast cancer for almost 3 years and she is still with us. He has always dicussed the various options with us and we have felt totally in the drivers seat. He is not a small talk type of person but I have always had the feeling that if we needed the time, he was there for us. The nurse practioner has also been most helpful.We are so glad not to have to drive to Calgary for our treatments

Dr Brigden was very helpful when I had my colon cancer.I was not able to work full time because I also needed xray treatments.He wrote several letters for me and even completed them the same day. The social worker helped me with my forms.Everyone at this clinic bends over backwards to make you feel like a real person
