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.

DO NOT GO TO DR. PRUNER
Negligent “doctor” who doesn’t truly care for his patients. He just cares about his check at the end of the day. Do not waste your time with this doctor or his office unless you want your health to decline

Not a good Doctor!!
I have seen him for a while, this man knows nothing about me. I have a ton of specialists, and they are the ones I rely on. This is not a good doctor. Choose anyone else.

Great primary care physician!
Dr. Pruner truly understands and encasulates "patient-driven care". He listens fully to gain a complete perspective; prior to providing any unnecessary recommendations. His nurses also reflect the care and respect that he exemplifies. Very fortunate to have found him as a care giver.

Was the worst experience ever! IF the office picks up the phone good luck on getting any help of any kind. I am shocked he is in practice. My mother was dying and they would not call us back. The oncall doctor was as useless and Dr Pruner. To be called doctors is a joke. I tried to have them fill out paperwork for FMLA they literally told me the doctor did not know how to fill it out. I had to go to another doctor that only saw my mom by teleoffice exam to fill it out. NEGLIGENT!! STAY AWAY FROM THIS DOCTOR AND STAFF WOW

He's a great doctor but hasn't gotten any results. Not sure if the staff has issues or if it's a whole broken system. They referred me to a therapy clinic that doesn't accept my insurance. They called in a physical therapy referral that never went through/that never contacted me even after calling them and they assured me they'd contact them again. They gave me metformin which made me violently ill and when I called them to let them know, I left them a message asking if I could try other medicine for my hypertension and PCOS, they never returned my call.
