Dr. Brian received the 2010 Jules Stein Living Tribute Award for inventing C3-R and performing it on U.S. Olympic Bobsled Driver Steve Holcomb that helped restore his vision from Keratoconus, thus enabling him to win the Gold Medal at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver - this was the first Gold Medal for the United States in bobsled in 62 years. "Holcomb C3-R" was renamed in Steve's honor on The Doctors television show in 2010 because of the world-wide recognition that Steve brought to the procedure.
