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.

I cannot say enough good things about Dr Brickman! She is warm, caring, informative, empathetic, articulate, intelligent, and obviously knows her specialty well--everything one could wish fo in a doctor but that in my experience is not very common. And she never lapses into medical jargon that a layperson cannot understand unless they are assertive enough to tell a doctor to please speak in plain English. This situation simply never arises with Dr Brickman. If she weren't already so busy I would beg her to teach a class at some medical school or teaching hospital on how to regard patients and how to talk to them.

Dr Brickman is the most amazing doctor. I trust that she will provide me with the best care possible. She listens to all my concerns. Dr BRICKMAN's passion for her field of work shows in the way she provides care. Her expertise, knowledge, and skills are indispensable. I feel lucky to have as my care provider, I would absolutely recommend her for care anytime. You are quite lucky to have her as a doctor at UCSF MEDICAL CENTER. I would actually rate her as excellent in all areas if that were an option.
