Reading the other reviews, I am dismayed by the negativity. Dr. Bruce was nothing but professional yet friendly, considerate, and helpful during my office visit. He knew right away my diagnosis upon my explanation of problems. I appreciate the conservative approach he uses, and after a few days, I am able to do more with my arm than I have in a month with the exercises and physical therapy he prescribed.

Dr Bruce was understood why I had so much pain in my shoulder. After having 'frozen shoulder' in both arms he told me what my options were. He said I should think it over and get back to him when I decided what to do. He gave my shoulder a shot to relieve the pain right then but told me it was only temporary. He operated & I was back to bowling & riding my horses within 4 months. He was a godsend for me. I have recommended him to several people & they were satisfied as well.

If you are in need of a physician who is professional, listens to your concerns, berates his nurse, has a nice personality, has a small ego, then if I were you I would keep searching for another orthopaedic physician. Stone faced, sarcastic, unprofessional and trite is no way to go through Life, son. Amazed at all these good reviews. Must of took a wrong turn going to Albuquerque. Good luck.

The absolute worst doctor I have ever visited, Misdiagnose along with improper healing of the adjacent broken bone, and all Dr. Erik Bruce could say is "It's healing fine, I don't know why you can't walk" After two second opinions this SO CALLED Doctor is completely wrong in his report and the bone has to be re-broken to be set properly

I am a physician and went to see Dr. Bruce with a ruptured achilles. I was very pleasantly surprised when he did not recommend surgery! I appreciated his candor and his expertise. He is an excellent Orthopedic doctor and I would highly recommend him.
