Dr. Christina Bruno, MD

I have seen Dr. Bruno for years. She is always very organized and to the point. She makes sure I have been doing what I am supposed to and when I leave the new instructions are very clear. She really cares about my eyes and has my best interest at heart! I am so happy I found her long ago.

'I called the office with a painful red eye. They were able to get me in that day. I had to wait a bit when I arrived, but it was worth it. She actually found inflammation in both of my eyes and started drops that made me feel so much better by the next day. She was kind and caring and answered all of my questions! I would highly recommend her.'

Dr. Bruno used to have great bedside manners, very friendly and professional. I don’t know what happened that changed her 360 degree but on my last visit she was dismissive and couldn’t wait to get rid of me and recently she chased away my mother whom she told that she needs surgery because her cataract is dense. She showed her that she had no confidence in her abilities. I really don’t understand why she did that but as a result of her actions, I left her practice along with my mother and father whom I recommended her to.

I scheduled my annual routine eye check up which is fully covered by VSP with Dr. Bruno in August this year. When at the office, the front desk asked for my medical insurance information in addition to the VSP information I provided. When asked why, the front desk did not bother to spend time to explain. A month later, I received a bill from their office for a balance that was not covered by my medical insurance. When I called their billing office, the answer I got was that because she found a mild cataract during the routine check up, she changed charge code to medical exam from routine exam. Even though she spent less than 5min with me, I will be OK if she could inform me about the change, but rather she told me everything is fine, and then sent me a bill. This makes me feel the office and the doctor are trying to take advantage of the patient, I would like to share my experience with others to watch out exactly what services you get from this doctor and how she charges you.

Purchased new glasses based on prescription Dr. Bruno gave me in March, but had more difficulty seeing than with the old prescription. I made a follow up appointment to find out what the problem was. She walked in and immediately said "I can't get your right eye to 20/20". I asked why and she said my cataract was the problem. In March she said my cataracts were only "mild"; now she said "moderate". She never looked at my eyes, did not verify the lens were correct, and did not check to see if anything else was wrong. In fact, she never once looked me in the face; she agreed to replace the lens with my prior prescription. I will not bother to see her again!

Had a very bad experience either with this Doctor or with her Office, went to see her for one time consultation, it was some what wish-wash, to add insult to injury, on my way out the receptionist came running to the elevator and said she need to do a cornea thickness measurement, and did a quick "job" right as we stood in front of the elevator. Do not know who order this test, but this Doctor or the Office cared much more about making money than the actual care.

I received a very thorough review of my Eyes.Dr. Bruno was very professional

Dr Bruno is very thorough, knowledgeable and reassuring. It is always a pleasure to see her and I feel very confident that my vision is in good hands and being well looked after!

Excellent

Excellent Ophthalmologist who cares about her patients and their needs.

Even though I had not been in for an eye exam for 20 years or more Dr. Bruno made it easy and there were a few things I was happy to learn. I plan to go back every 12 months and now I feel like I have my own eye doctor.

Although Dr. Bruno made be a pretty good surgeon, her bedside manner is at best condescending as she placates your displeasure from having waited over an hour. Always "sorry for the wait", she nonetheless makes you wait as a matter of routine in her practice. Everyones' time is valuable Christina, stop treating us like morons and be your word. If I have a 2 o'clock appt., honor that!

Professional, friendly, very positive attitude.

Really really terrible experience. 45 minute wait for the appointment all to feel like a number and to be spoken to in a condescending manner. No thanks. I won't be back.

I had being going for years with another doctor, who constantly told me I had dry eyes. I went to Dr. Bruno and she said, let me look at your eyelids and she saw calcium spots there and removed them. I did not have painful eyes after that. She is wonderful and excellent!

If you want to see someone who will claim to have written academic articles on wikipedia about eye conditions, pretend that you don't have any eye pain because she can't figure out why you're experiencing eye pain, direct you to use methods you've already tried to fix your symptoms, and when you ask what kind of doctor you should see for eye pain, she will keep scribbling silently on her notepad instead of answering, definitely waste your money on this "doctor".

Just completed my second iridotomy with Dr. Christina Bruno. If you need an opthamologist, she is WONDERFUL, CARING, NURTURING, and knows her trade. What a wonderful human being who puts patient needs first!

Love the doc, but they are ALWAYS late. It took 60 minutes to finally see the doc!

Dr. Bruno is a very caring doctor with great bedside manner. She was compassionate and sensitive to my anxiety with a procedure I had to have. The procedure was scheduled with another doctor at the end of July into August, and Dr. Bruno, seeing how anxious I was, scheduled me much sooner. I really appreciate the time she took with me.
