Sean Breen, PC

Update time again.
At a certain point, I suppose it becomes pointless to keep updating with 5 stars again, but I keep having favourable experiences to talk about.
Sometimes, when taking a medication, you have a personal experience that flatly contradicts the research about that medication. Something that the current model just flat-​out says shouldn’t happen.
Many physicians, being used to the high respect our culture affords them, react first and foremost to defend their own self-​image, and will simply dismiss anyone who contradicts their expertise.
Once again, Sean ain’t like that.
His response was to the tune of: «Hmmm, that’s puzzling. I’ll have to do some homework and look for cases like that, and consult my colleagues X and Y, who are very experienced in this specific area. In the meantime, we could try this or this or this… because obviously you can’t just put up with that. That’s no way to live.»
Treating aging as a disease and trying to fight it is a new thing, medically speaking. While the medicine isn’t quite experimental, it’s still capable of surprising us occasionally.
Sean is not only willing to practice this sort of medicine, he is also an excellent listener, treats his clients with respect, and doesn’t assume he already knows everything worth knowing. (This last may sound like faint praise, but, alas, it is a rare quality in the medical profession.)
Most important, he cares about his clients’ quality of life, not just in a superficial show of professionalism, but as a deeply held priority.
Every aspect of his practice displays values and integrity.

Dr. Breen has proven himself as a knowledgable resource in helping me to better understand how to maintain my body for optimal performance and well being. Having worked with several different MD’s, I highly recommend Dr. Breen as one of the most seasoned professionals in this field.

I met Dr. Breen through a colleague who was actively receiving care from Dr. Breen. I am writing this review after being a patient of Dr Breen’s for six months.
I went to see Dr. Breen because I (a 33 yr old male) was feeling fatigued, losing muscle mass, gaining fat and irritable all the time. Doctor Breen ordered some lab work so I could be tested to see what was going on with me. I also was being tested by the VA around the same time for the same symptoms. The VA told me everything was fine and that there was nothing wrong with me. I went to my follow-​up appointment with Dr. Breen where I was presented with a binder that had all of my lab results (explained with notes), a nutrition plan, and a personalized healthcare plan. Dr. Breen spent about two hours going over my results, ensuring I understood what each level meant. He also told me that I had to make some lifestyle changes to really improve my health. I left Dr. Breen’s office that day with the knowledge of what was REALLY causing my problems and a solution for those problems.
Dr. Breen has made himself available via email and phone. I can call/​text/​email him directly if I need anything. I was impressed by this because most Doctors I have met are distant and unavailable.
So I have followed my healthcare plan as prescribed by Dr. Breen and I feel SO MUCH better already. I am not as tired, I have more energy when I get home to actually workout or do stuff around the house. My wife and co-​workers have said that my mood is improved.
I plan to follow up with another review in a few months to see how things progress but I can say that I have never received such personalized care from any other doctor.

I have been a patient of Dr. Breen for 3 years. He is a doctor that listens, he’s patient, he’s a great health coach, he truly cares.

Three years ago I met Dr. Breen at a seminar provided by my gym. He gave an insightful presentation on how hormones, eating correctly, and taking the right supplements can play a huge role in your fitness goals. I first sent my husband to see Dr. Breen due to his lack of energy and general issues associated with being in your late 40’s. His General Practitioner told him that all of his levels were «normal.» Personally, I don’t think being on the low end of the spectrum is considered normal. His overall health and stamina is amazing since becoming a patient.
After seeing the positive changes in my husband, I too decided I would get checked out my Dr. Breen. After discovering some thyroid issues, my energy, physical performance, and leanness are where they should be. Dr. Breen’s personal program has helped me to make gains in the gym (I’m a cross-​fitter), help me with my eating habits, and my overall health.
Dr. Breen has an amazing bedside manner. He actually listens when you talk to him, he remembers things you’ve said in past appointments, and genuinely cares about your health. His goal is to have each of their patients at their optimum levels.
Regardless of your age (I’m 34 and my husband is 50) — Dr. Breen can help to fine tune your health goals. My husband and I are both in the best shapes of our lives, physically and internally, and that’s all thanks to Dr. Breen.

This review is long overdue. I’ve been seeing Dr. Breen just under a year and I wanted to wait until I had been under his care long enough to give a full review. When I came to Dr. Breen I had low energy, was extremely overweight and just felt horrible. After a comprehensive battery of blood tests and over a two hour review with the doctor I was devastated at how I had let myself go. Based on the tests I was well on my way to an early heart attack. I’m not even 35 yet, so needless to say it was extremely scary to hear that I was in such poor health.
Dr. Breen immediately told me what I needed to do to get back to a healthy weight and lower my risk of a heart attack. He put me on a bunch of supplements, got my hormone levels in check and gave me a nutrition and exercise plan that has worked beyond my expectations! It’s been less than a year and I feel like a brand new person, I have energy to play with my kids and I feel great. I’ve lost over 50 pounds and can now wear a size 30 waist! I went from over 40 percent body fat down to 13 percent! When I had questions for the doctor he was always accessible and even lets you text him on his personal cell after hours. This is true concierge service. I can’t thank Dr. Breen and his team enough for all they have done for me. My wife was so thrilled will my results she has now gone to see him as well. Thanks Dr. Breen for giving me my life back!

Dr. Breen is legitimate and I highly recommend his professional care.
Before beginning any type of therapy, I was experiencing debilitating symptoms that grossly affected my personal life, my demanding career, and my overall sense of well-​being. I first expressed my issues to my primary care doctor, who absolutely would not address my symptoms because of my relatively young age. Rather, my primary doctor would just say things like «you’re finally over the hill» and «welcome to the club»… What kind of doctor is this, I thought.
I then approached a doctor who specializes in therapy for men and began a treatment plan that lasted for about 2 years. However, the treatment I was receiving was static and my symptoms steadily deteriorated over time. I would repeatedly express my worsening condition to the doctor but no efforts could be made to troubleshoot the problem and augment my treatment. Unfortunately, the doctor was unable to provide a more comprehensive therapy because my issues spanned outside the scope of his limited practice.
Feeling lost and frustrated, I emailed Dr. Breen to see if he could help evaluate my situation and provide much needed help. Withing 24 hours, Dr. Breen personally reached out to me over the phone to discuss my concerns. He then encouraged me to come in for a complete exam, which consisted of a full blood panel and a comprehensive 2 hour physical. I was very excited to get my blood work completed, as I knew it would be more thorough and comprehensive than what my previous doctor could perform.
Following my blood work and physical exam, Dr. Breen provided me with a written 15+ page analysis and action plan. I was thrilled to get his «hands-​on» type report because it showed me that he really understood how to address the symptoms I was experiencing. I was very eager to begin treatment because I Knew that I had a doctor who was on my side.
It’s now been about 4 months since I began treatment under Dr. Breen’s care. So far my symptoms have began to improve and I am looking forward to continue working on a treatment plan that will address all my symptoms.
Dr. Breen and his staff are professional and care about the quality of care patients receive. I always feel welcome when I step into his office. I am very confident that Dr. Breen is a leader in this type of practice and look forward to his ongoing care.

I have had the pleasure to work with the doctor and his staff for going on two years. The follow up, professionalism and responsiveness has been stellar. I travel and have a very demanding schedule and he is very accommodating. His staff follows up as I ask and do what they say they will do. I had a billing mix up once on an order I placed and the doctor didn’t hesitate to reverse it and make it right.
The doctor works to see things from the patients perspective and more specifically mine. He knows what it is like to be busy, raise a family, and run a business. He is a business owner running his medical practice and practicing medicine. He isn’t a slave to the insurance companies so he gets to get to know patients and take care of people the way they should be.
I would strongly recommend Dr Breen to anyone that is looking for this kind of diligence in the care they seek from their medical professional. He cares about his patients, he goes above and beyond and I know I can count on him for all my medical needs.

I first met Dr Breen at a lecture on essential supplements. Myself, a healthy middle aged male and physician, I was glad to finally meet a doctor who would dedicate their time and energy to helping me optimize my body and health. I have been a patient of Dr Breen for almost two years. Dr Breen always impresses me on being up to date with current medical literature and he really knows the science behind his medical practice. I highly recommend Dr Breen to anyone looking to optimize their health.

Dr. Breen gave me my life back. I’d been feeling like a zombie for five years, ever since I returned from my combat deployments to Iraq. Dr. Breen immediately recognized my severely depressed testosterone levels during my consultation and the lab results confirmed this. My body was completely broken down and my energy levels were non-​existent. I had a very low libido and was sad/​depressed daily. I now have regained my libido and am much more cheerful everyday. I now have a postive outlook on life — before I felt I had no hope. Having been an elite athlete and losing my confidence and muscle was devastating to me. Dr. Breen helped at the drop of a dime, no smoke and mirrors. The VA NEVER helped me with this problem, eventhough I had expressed concern for YEARS. Dr. Breen even helped me with the financial costs of his program, knowing that I’ve been struggling with PTSD and work and that I don’t have a lot of money. In a world of sham artists, Dr. Breen is the REAL DEAL.
Thank you Dr. Breen — I can’t thank you enough.

I have always been a healthy and active person but never pushed myself to be my personal best. I began training in the gym seriously and was unhappy with the way that I felt. I did not have very much energy and was having trouble understanding why. I am thankful I found Dr. Breen! Dr. Breen invested a good bit of time learning about me and my goals and put me on track to feeling my personal best.

*******June 2, 2015* I just received an email from Sean Breen saying that he was «pursuing me aggressively»” for my Unilocal review of my experience at his office. I have posted a picture of this email threatening me. Since he was my doctor at one point, he cannot say he did not know I have a serious medical condition that is well known in all medical literature to be worsened by stress; such as being threatened by legal action in an aggressive email. This is another example of how he responds to anyone criticizing him. He does not address specific issues that he says are not true; he just tries to bully the person instead of 1) using the feature in Unilocal to explain «his side of the story» about what is untrue in the Unilocal Review. In addition, if Sean provides his «proof» to me that what I wrote is not true I am happy to consider it and if indeed I am mistaken, I will edit anything that is false out of the review. This is my personal experience with Dr. Breen and his office and I write it so that others may be helped by what I write.******
Sean Breen dropped me as a patient, communicated to me through the secure communication feature of his website, after I had sent him a secure email through his system asking him for his license number. I check all my potential doctors with the medical board. When I searched the CA medical board, I could not find any information for a Sean Breen, and the «PC» after his name is a designation of his business structure. Breen doesn’t respond well to criticism but takes it personally instead of as feedback on things that need to be improved. The first problem was finding the office; the incorrect suite number was posted on Unilocal which is where I found this office. The next problem happened in the initial meeting with the Dr.; he would ask me a question and then not wait for me to completely answer, interrupting me repeatedly. I told him then, «You keep interrupting me» which he then said, «My wife says the same thing.» I told him, «Tell her she is right». That day when meeting with one of the workers, she seemed so sad, depressed and overwhelmed, i felt sorry for her and gave her a bed bath and beyond gift card I had in my purse; she seemed to like me just fine then when I was giving her something. She said she would use to buy a new coffee maker! The next problem happened when they input my birthday incorrectly into the lab requisition, which is exactly why I was willing to pay out of pocket for care that did not include these types of errors routinely found in insurance issues. Then, while getting lab work, the lab told me, «Your doctor did not pay for the labs, you need to pay now in order to get your lab work done.» After ½ hour arguing with the lab tech explaining the dr. office already collected money from me for lab work. I finally got a hold of Sean, who said, «You need to get aggressive with them» Really? I told him, «I am NOT going to fight with a woman barely making minimum wage about your mistake.» I guess it is okay to make other office workers cry by being «aggressive», just not his workers. Then, I asked him to write a letter explaining that I had bronchitis and could not travel; he then accused me of asking to do something unethical; forgetting that he did a physical exam and was the one who told me I HAD bronchitis. Then… there was the death of the husband of one of the office workers, and Sean seemed to think it was okay that his whole office came to a standstill; the workers were clearly not functioning because of the death but instead of taking time off to grieve, especially in the office of an «integrative» medicine doctor, they came to work and cried on the phone. Next, came the defensiveness to me asking me about his license number, and then… well, you get it. NEVER an apology, just expecting the patient to put up with all kinds of mistakes, and excuses, blaming others. Finally, even AFTER no longer being his patient, I have received two bills from LabCorp both in excess of one thousand dollars for money he supposedly paid… I now have a wonderful new doctor. NOT ONE ISSUE. Sean did not offer to refund ANYTHING: I demanded it and he did it. I think he knew he had made big mistakes including potential breech of contract since there was a written contract for 3 months of service; interesting that the reviewer below says she was told there would be a $ 300 charge if THEY break the contract but he doesn’t pay money when HE breaks the contract. I had to start from square one with my new wonderful doctor who does NOT require a yearly contract for basically, nothing as Sean’s office does. In addition, the office appointment is $ 150, not the almost $ 600 Sean Breen charges. My new doctor has a gorgeous office, local compounding pharmacy that delivers, and listens without interrupting.

I am a 33 year old mom of a toddler. I run a company and lift regularly in the gym. When I went in to see doctor Breen I was at a low point. My glands in my neck swelled regularly, I wasn’t sleeping well and my mood was very down. Dr Breen ordered a ton of labs which were ready in a much shorter amount of time than any other doctor in the past. When I went into his office for the consultation he explained things in great detail and made sure I was comfortable and clear on my path for treatment.
Just a few weeks later I have a ton more energy in and out of the gym. My head is clearer again and I am running my company with more calm and decisiveness. My marriage is what I wanted it to be because now I’m contributing more to it. Everyone has bad days now and again but now I have much fewer and many good days that I enjoy. I would recommend doctor Breen to anyone feeling sluggish or in need of a doctor who listens and values patients.

Dr Breen has a very specialized practice. To get a doctor who thinks outside of the box and who is personally avalable to you ²⁴⁄₇ it can be expected to pay a little more. Also insurance fails to cover preventative and anti aging type of care. I am an RN and personally have been in dr breen’s program and have had excellent results. I look and feel better and I am very thankful for doctors like Dr Breen.
If you’re having issues with hormone balance or weight gain or really any type of health issue it would certainly be worth giving dr breen a try.

I signed up with Dr. Breen when I was looking for a concierge doctor since I decided to put a higher priority on my health over my time. I didn’t consider anti-​aging medicine in the equation but figured it was icing on the cake if I liked him — I figured we all get older.
I initially went for two medical issues. However, he diagnosed half dozen medical issues some related to aging and some not; most I was completely unaware even existed until he shined a light on the data in a way that I could understand. None of the diagnosis were picked up my by primary doctor. Dr. Breen is adept and has the stamina to figure out what is wrong and resolving it. He’s able to find connections between seemingly disparate phenomena.
That said, Dr. Breen’s empathy is what really intrigues me. I sense he can quickly understand my feelings or situation and has a laser-​focused way of helping me prioritize not only my body, but also my mind and soul.
After being with Dr. Breen for 6 months now, l feel more youthful energy, health and happiness. I consider myself blessed to have found him and concierge medicine.

I have been a patient of Dr. Breen for a few months now. I had been feeling lousy for the better part of the last three years. I was putting on weight despite working out at the gym and was feeling tired and unfocused most days. I run a small multi-​state business and my professional life can be very hectic and stressful much of the time. I called Dr. Breen because I was tired of feeling tired all the time. I wanted to explore why I wasn’t feeling better and wanted to get my energy levels back (and weight down) so that I could be a better father, spouse, and boss.
I did a lot of research prior to contacting Dr. Breen’s office. I wanted to find a doctor that was qualified and had the expertise to discuss my unique medical issues. I also wanted to find a doctor that was passionate about what he or she does… Not someone going through the motions. Dr. Breen interested me because he seemed to have very progressive views and had a mindset that it was important to understand an individual and their whole story prior to treating them.
I made an appointment and had blood panels completed. My first appointment was rough, only because I definitely have a phobia of the doctor’s office. However, Dr. Breen could not have been nicer and more supportive. He spent a few hours with me discussing my blood test and getting to know me better. I was so accustomed to the traditional 5 – 10 minute doctor visits of my past, that this really surprised me. At any rate, before we finished up that day, I knew exactly what my issues were and what I needed to do to get healthier. There was no guess work, everything he stated was supported in my tests which I was provided a copy of. He developed a plan for me to get healthier which included diet, nutrition, supplements, exercise, and a prescription.
Fast forward two months later, and I have already taken 21 pounds of fat off my body and added 9 pounds of muscle. My energy levels have increased and I am starting to feel better again.
I’m very happy that I chose Dr. Breen as my doctor. I can’t recommend him enough if you are in a similar situation.

Thank you for your response Mr. breen, but I have to say that you are still not listening to what I was saying. The issue was not insurance. Again as I wrote in the review, it was the fact your staff did not readily disclose that the practice charges a monthly or yearly fee regardless of how often one might have an appointment and than charge for that appointment also. Since you were not on the call we will have to agree to disagree.
Respectfully,

I went to see Dr. Breen for issues around low energy. He ordered a very thorough set of blood tests for me, then spent 2 hours with me reviewing the results. I don’t think I’ve ever had a Doctor spend 2 hours with me in one appointment!!! Thanks to him, I have some new information about what to eat and some good information about what I need to do to improve my overall health.
Through the years, I’ve had low blood pressure, water retention and probably poor thyroid function that may have not been diagnosed. I made diet choices I thought were healthy, that in fact, are not healthy for me. I’ll be giving up lots of foods loaded with «hidden» sugar & carbs, based on the Dr ‘s input.
Now with Dr. Breen’s help, I have some recommendations about how to fix things to improve my health. He recommended a new diet for me, special supplements and new meds to help get me where I want to be. It will involve hard work and discipline on my part to reach the goals, but Dr. Breen was very encouraging and supportive. I am very glad I made the appointment and went to see him. I look forward to working with him this year to make some positive changes.

Thanks Dr. Breen for your response. I’m glad that you made it apparent to boast in writing regarding all your accomplishments and that you have helped many patients and clients over the years. That’s wonderful that you are able to do that for them.
However, my review was based solely upon my experience bringing my father to your establishment. Maybe nobody has ever said anything negative towards you, but apparently my review has caused you to respond and react.
Thanks again for your service, and best of luck to your practice.

I have been a patient of Dr. Breen from about three months. In this time I’ve had the chance to see him both do his job of providing medical care and guidance with at a very high level of competence and with attention to detail. Not only do his job but provide the promised /​implied action of follow-​up contact and monitoring changes in patient condition. Not only Dr. Breen, but his staff has proven equally conscientious, business-​like and professional.
I am very pleased to have been referred to Dr. Breen, and would (this is a rarity) willingly recommend him to others.
