The entire process from initial consultation to surgery thru follow up appointment seemed to flow seamlessly. I will return to Dr. Bruck if I require future surgical procedures.

Very disappointed with my consult. He seemed annoyed that I was there. Told me a hiatel hernia does not cause shortness of breath. My return visit was no better. He was thrilled that he could blame my breathing problem on asthma. He would not tell me about the CT results had to get a copy to find out just how horrible my condition really is. I had to go back to my pcp to ask the questions that should have been addressed in the consult. Im still horrified that he didn't tell me how bad my problem is. I have a second opinion scheduled elsewhere.

I highly recommend dr bruck. He is a very kind, honest, caring dr. I was really out of my comfort zone of having to dr. out of west branch area but dr. Bruck was great and so was his staff making it a lot easier. I would recommend dr. Bruck to any one of my family and friends. He let me know what to expect and explained everything and gave the time a patient needs to ask questions. He is a Dr you can be comfortable with. Thanks to a great dr and staff.
