Dr. Maria Avelina Bruno, MD

I am horrified that this woman is still practicing.

I have been seeing Dr. Bruno for about 8 months now. My previous doctor retired, and she took over. Every month, she knows exactly who I am. She asks about my children, how I've been feeling, if I have any questions. She is just a very sweet woman and cares deeply about her patients.

I went to Dr. Bruno for a routine exam and a problem, The exam was fine and she prescribed medication, which solved my problem. I feel very satisfied with Dr. Bruno and her staff.

Dr. Bruno is not retired.

I went to Maria Bruno for a pap. She was incredibly rough and it hurt terribly, and instead of being more gentle, or kind, she berated me and yelled at me that it was my fault and to stop tensing up. I stopped the exam and told her to get away from me, left immediately, and went out to my car to cry. It felt more like what i imagine an assault would feel like than an exam, and she was gruff and mean. I'm 35 by the way, and am well aware of what an exam should feel like. My lower abdomen is sore today. The office smelled like stale smoke, and while I sat on the exam table draped in the paper, she and the receptionist had a bizarre three minute conversation about how the chiming bells coming through the walls from next door were annoying. The receptionist was nice. That's the only good thing I have to say. I would NEVER trust my body to that nasty woman, ever. I refuse to call her a doctor.

I thought my pregnancy was going well according to Dr. Bruno but she was all wrong!!!
