He LIED for MONEY as an IME for Long Term Disability. The Social Security Administration made a point to admonish him in my determination letter for his blatant disregard for several EXPERTS in their field. He was abusive on the peer to peer review to the extent my physicians called me on their off time to tell me how abusive he was and to hire a good attorney. Karma will come for you Dr. Brusch.

Went for a physical at age 29, said everything was OK and I shouldn't come back until I was 40. Told me my infertility was due to "stress" but lab exams said I had a low sperm count -- he's completely oblivious to what's going on -- I think he may have dementia. I tried to book an appointment with him and his scheduling secretarty never got back to me. Do not use this so-called doctor as a PCP.

Dr. John Brusch is a hired gun IME for the LTD insurance companies. He must not be much of a doctor if his primary source of income is from MES which is a company that LTD and STD companies hire to provide them doctors who will deny and WRONGFULLY the claims of the disabled. Dr. Brusch has a track record of abusing not only his oath of "doing no harm" but seems to have a "habit" of denying claims of people with ME/CFS/FIBRO and LYME disease even though there is subjective evidence and renowned specialists with proof of disability. Dr. Brusch should be ashamed of himself.

This doctor was pleasant enough in a fake way, but is completely biased when it comes to disability exams. I am incredibly sick and he said I could return to work full time effective immediately after meeting me for about 20 minutes. This is despite my 5 doctors and a myriad of tests that say otherwise. This guy is just criminal and he should be ashamed of himself. Not sure how he sleeps at night.

This doctor was arrogant, unprofessional and unpleasant to speak to. He has a bias toward finding patients not disabled through Independent Medical Insurance Exams.
