Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Patient and thorough
It’s very refreshing to meet a doctor who is very open and takes tue time to listen to the background and any concerns

Bad surgery
Bruce Huffer did ankle surgery at O'Connor Hospital ( San Jose ) of my wife, and we're quite sad to see how unprofessionally the surgery was performed, as we contacted 3 other doctors so far and did multiple X-ray's.From all other doctor's view & based on X-ray's -1. The implants ( plates & screws ) the doctor placed were placed very wrongly, as they are not placed very stable.2. Two screws are outside of bone, and are very long which otherwise should have not been used; rather short screws should have been used.This causes issue for my wife as she can feel the pain so will likely need to get another surgery ( ofcourse from another doctor than Bruce Huffer)3. Bruce Huffer always told us that she does not need physiotherapy, but all other doctors recommended us; so we started with physiotherapy and seeing better results.4. There are loose bones as confirmed in CT scan.Wish could give zero stars.
