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.

Fantastic. Spends a lot of time with you, checks in with you, and errs on the side of caution. And _listens to women_, which is unfortunately not always the case.

Superb Cardiologist
I will continue to refer family , friends and coworkers to Dr. Bruner. Dr. Bruner is the wonderful Cardiologist who took me as a patient on short notice. Within the hour, Dr. Bruner ordered tests and correctly diagnosed me in heart failure. Following further cardiac procedures, appropriate medication and suggestions of lifestyle changes, My health is at a very good place. My heart is strengthened. Dr.Bruner played an integral part to get me to good health in order to subsequently undergo double knee replacement surgery. Dr. Bruner is capable, current, attentive, empathetic, kind, and mentoring to me, his patient and to my family. I am so thankful to be treated by Dr.Bruner, his colleges and staff who have all been so encouraging on this, life journey.

Very rude doctor! He made me feel like why am I there, rushed, and bad about myself. He said multiple rude things including I was so thin I looked like I was from a concentration camp!! What kind of doctor is this? He also said people like me are the reason the virus is still going bc I haven’t got the vaccine. Never going back!

The blonde young lady the works in the front office is very rude and likes to remind you that she has already told your family member something when they are having memory problems and that the family should have asked the question they are asking when they were back with the doctor. Dr. Bruner seems knowledgeable and informative but can be snippy whn you ask questions. He also would not take the time to view a patient’s file to see if there was a HIPPA release to give out results of a test.
