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.

Dr Debruin saved my life. Been my Doctor 27 years.
Old school bedside manner. Current on all new medical treatments.

Most amazing doctor you will ever experience!
Dr DeBruin has cared for my eldery parents for over 25 years. His knowledge is off the charts and the most kind and caring doctor I have ever met. It is so rare to come across a doctor like him and I highly recommend. I give him ten stars!

Most knowledgeable and caring doctor
He says he cares about his patients and that is true. He always spends the time needed with me even though I'm scheduled for 15 minute appointments. He is very knowledgeable and explains things in an understandable way. He personally intervened when I experienced problems with my pharmacy. I'm 76 and h is hands down the best doctor I've had. He deserves all the praise reviews Ive read.

Be warned.
Dr Debruin and NP Judy Hash are terrific. Five star wonderful healers. The front office is pathetic. Communication is next to nonexistent from the office manager Kathy Hill on down. I called 9 days ago regarding status of a prescription and needed referral for a mammogram. Patients are referred to various employees for prescriptions or authorization for tests, etc. and the voicemail messages for them say they will return your call within 24 hours. That’s a joke. I left 2 voicemails with 2 different people and NEVER received callbacks in 9 days. When I left 2 VMs with the office manager I NEVER got called back in 9 days. They may be working behind the scenes to address your inquiry but you don’t hear from them so you are left wondering. Poor management leaving patients feeling frustrated, ignored and not getting the proper care they deserve.

Horrible - I'd give zero stars if I could. I was a patient for 5 months and had several appointments but never met with Dr Debruin. The staff is completely incompetent. Out of 5 referrals only one made it to the other office, and that once didn't accept my insurance so they wouldn't see me. I waited over a month to get that appointment but I still haven't seen that specialist since I never got a new referral. Why would they refer me to someone who doesn't accept my insurance? All other referrals I had to physically pick up and deliver myself (one being Sutter Imaging, right across the street from their office). I've been in pain for 5 months and still have no answers. I'm moving on to a new doctor.

Hands down, Dr. DeBruin is the finest physician I have ever had (and I am over 65!). He is kind, smart smart smart, impeccable bedside manner and he is up on every medical update and advance. You may have to wait a bit, but it is well worth the wait because he treats each patient as if he/she is the only patient he has.

He is not only personable, but highly knowledgeable. He listens to his patients and often adjusts treatment after receiving feedback. Plus, he is not in a super-rush and clearly has a passion for his healing work.

Dr. DeBruin is awesome. He is very experienced, very caring, goes many extra miles for each patient. He is the best! I am alive only because this doctor took a lot of time to help me get the right treatments for stage 4 colon cancer. I have been NED for 15 years.

Dr. Robert DeBruin is a fantastic doctor. With regular checkups, he has managed my health conditions for thirty-five years. He is a good example of a doctor practicing preventing medicine, that would bring down the health care costs in our country.

I have been extremely fortunate to be with Dr. Debruin and his wonderful team! He is simply the best...He takes time to explain and truly cares about everyone he sees. Pam is the most dedicated Nurse Practitioner I have ever known! She always goes above and beyond, you feel so well cared for. Gabby is also an excellent new addition to the team. Holly is so warm and friendly when you call for scheduling and the entire staff are a compliment to help this dynamic and reputable medical group.
