Dr. Eddy Severe Bruno, MD

Great Doc, but always behind due to giving his patients time they need. Shouldn't book so many appointments... Other than wait time, he is a great doctor, been with him for 10 years. Always listens and cares

Poor doctor!!

All of these 5 star ratings without comments are probably written by Eddy himself. He’s far and away the worst psychiatrist/doctor I’ve ever come into contact with. Not only does he fail to meet his patients needs, he doesn’t even make an effort to address serious concerns. He refuses to cooperate with other healthcare professionals or take recommendations from providers who spend much more time face to face than he does, all while neglecting the needs of his patients who are often vulnerable to negative outcomes. If an actual doctor refused to order something, such as a blood transfusion for a patient with a hemoglobin of 4.0, he would likely lose his license and/or be subject to medical malpractice lawsuits, but Eddy knows that his patients don’t typically have the means or understanding to recognize this, which explains why he chose psychiatry in the first place. I would and do advise patients to go to anyone but him.

In our experience this Dr. treats patients based solely on notes of social workers. He had 2 golden opportunities to help a bipolar depressed alcoholic suicidal veteran. Instead the patient was discharged twice. For 48 hrs the family begged to speak with him and he refused! His validations for the discharges were St. Rita's does not treat alcoholism. This was understandable. However it was made very clear the patient has been depressed his entire which combined with PTSD led to alcoholism which leads (note present tense) to suicidal tendencies. St. Rita's does have a psych ward. We are astounded that a Dr. has a man's life in his hands and makes such crucial decisions without ever laying eyes on or talking with the patient! The matter was brought to the attention of the House Supervisor and Patient Relations. We will be informing Hospital Administration as well as our Congressman.

I really like seeing Dr. Bruno. He cares about me & listens to me and is willing to work with me.
