I had debated for years whether to get RBL for hemorroids I have had for 20+ years. Dr Bruce did not push any procedures and took his time describing how I could use very high fiber diet and other methods. He took over 30 min to review the regimen he answered all my questions on RBL vs THD and other methods. I came away completely satisified, following his recommendations I have not had any problems for many months. I very strongly recommend him as the best Dr you should see in this practice.

Dr. Bruce was persistent in diagnosing my numerous gastrointestinal problems and was able to determine the best course of treatment which ultimately included surgery. I had the utmost confidence in him throughout the several month process and I highly recommend Dr. Bruce for his personal attention and excellent care.

Through the several months during which I was a patient of Dr. Bruce at Mercy Suburban Hospital in Norristown, PA, he exhibited all of the traits which are expected of a caring professional. His medical expertise, surgical skill and bedside manner are all outstanding and I have highly recommended Dr. Bruce to family and friends in need of his area of expertise.
