About

Dr. Brining, originally from the San Francisco Bay Area, received her undergraduate degree from UC Berkeley, where she was a member of the nationally recognized women’s soccer team. After college, she spent time in an oncology lab at UCSF before heading south to Los Angeles to attend USC’s Keck School of Medicine. There, she fell in love with the challenge and complexity of her patients, deciding to complete her Internal Medicine Residency at USC.

Dr. Brining believes patient care is most effective when individualized and collaborative with an emphasis on Preventative Care. Consequently, she takes an individual-focused approach, concentrating on the patient as a whole rather than just his or her symptoms.

Dr. Brining lives in the South Bay with her husband and two children.

Dr. Brining is truly one of the best doctors at UCLA! With everything I’m going through, she has been a constant source of support and care. She is always quick to reply to my emails and answer any questions I have, which brings me so much peace of mind during difficult times. What I appreciate most is how well she listens, she genuinely cares about your concerns and takes the time to understand what you’re going through. Dr. Brining never makes you feel rushed and always works to find thoughtful, effective solutions. It’s rare to find a doctor who combines excellent medical care with such compassion and responsiveness. I feel very fortunate to have her on my care team. Highly recommend Dr. Brining to anyone looking for a kind, attentive, and knowledgeable physician!

Dr. Lucie Brining is always patient, thorough and takes the time to really listen to my concerns. Additionally, the UCLA staff is fantastic and kind. I checked in on time, then sat in the waiting room about ONE minute and was then seen immediately. Great customer care and probably the first time I didn't have to wait 20+ minutes to be seen.
