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 Brusie did my cataracts as well laser treatments for my glaucoma. He explained everything to me. There were no complications. He has a very kind bedside manner.

Longest I ever waited for doctor appointment. It wasnt with Dr. Brusie, was another lady doctor. I was there over 4 hours. Worse experience ever.!! shuffled from room to room. Have to go back 6 weeks, hopefully find someone else in meantime. People working there all unhappy. Too many people booked at same time!!!

There's a bit of kvetching for delayed appointments. Sorry, the quality of my eye care is more important, and I think Dr Brusie is great. He is nice, he's polite, he's very professional. He explains everything that's going on. If he were a primary care physician, I'd probably move, and I LOVE my PCP.

My appointment was for 8:30am. I arrivedearly and had all my paperwork filled out when I got there. 37 minutesafter my scheduled appointment and I am still waiting. About 10 others are here waiting as well. They over booked and make you wait..... pure greed. Go to a Dr. that cares about their patients. This one seems to only care about his bank account!! 40 mins after sceduled appointment and still waiting.

My experience with Dr. Brusie has been excellent. He listens, explains, advises, and will refuse to perform a procedure if he believes it is not in the best interests of the patient's health and welfare. He has a good manner, is very professional, and is an excellent surgeon. Waiting can be a problem, but working a patient's eye (s) is time-consuming; it always has been. He is thorough, so plan accordingly.

I waited for an hour for my appointment. Dr.Bruisie is clearly good at his practice but has no bedside manner. I was finally called in about 10 minutes before closing and was asked to come back 2 days later.

I have been a patient of Dr Brusie for quite a few years. He performed my cataract surgeries in 2010 and has yearly checked my eyes since. He is a very capable eye surgeon, shows concern for patients, and I am extremely pleased with his service.

Our family members have been treated in the office that Dr. Brusie works in for over 20 years. Recently my husband and I were sent reminder cards to make appointments. I called his office this morning and was told that Dr. Brusie only makes appointments for individuals with issues and that he no longer takes patients for regular exams. The person answering the phone offered to give me a name of an Optometrist that they would recommend.
