About me
Dr. Cristina Brickman is an infectious disease specialist whose focus is evaluating and treating anal cancer.
Brickman's research focuses on HPV infection, looking at which populations are affected and how it may lead to cancer, particularly in patients with HIV. Her work is aimed at identifying risk factors associated with progression of abnormal cells to invasive cancer. She is also interested in studying anal cancer risk in both the very young and old in high-risk populations, with the goal of optimizing screening practices.
Brickman received her medical degree from Columbia University. She completed a residency in internal medicine at New York–Presbyterian/Columbia University Medical Center, followed by a fellowship in infectious diseases at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. She went on to pursue a master of science degree in clinical epidemiology at the University of Pennsylvania.
As part of her master's degree program, Brickman completed two research projects: The first evaluated the treatment and outcomes of HPV-associated oropharyngeal cancer (cancer at the top of the throat) in patients with HIV, and the second looked at the association between depression and sexual risk behavior, also in patients with HIV.

Been seeing this provider for many years from 360 Health to Anal Clinic and they're almost like family. We pickup where we left off, we Salk about my health conditions but catch up on life and it's always like spending a little time with a friend. The care is top notch and I really think I'm alive and as healthy as I am today because of their involvement in my care.

Dr Brickman is wonderful. She clearly is very knowledgeable in her field, but equally important is her skill in putting me at ease with a sensitive subject. It's a pleasure to also chat about what's going on in our lives. That makes the procedure more relaxed. She's great!

Dr. Brickman is the most excellent doctor I have ever encountered. She is always interested in providing the best care, and information available for my medical treatment. I am so grateful for her care and impressed with her knowledge each time I am at the clinic. I would absolutely recommend Dr Brickman and the clinic should the opportunity arise.
