I had an excellent experience with Dr. Brunckhorst. He is patient-friendly, skilled, and I believe he did an excellent job on my gall bladder surgery. I highly recommend him.

Overall I had a great experience with Dr. Brunckhorst. He did an excellent job diagnosing my health issue and we were able to come up with a solution that I felt very comfortable with. His bed side manner left me feeling confident prior to the surgery and afterwards I'm glad to report the problem has been fixed. I'm in good health now and I would highly recommend Dr. Brunckhorst to anyone.

Dr. Brunckhorst has been my family's physician for decades. His kind bedside manner and patient, listening skills distinguish him as more than just another brainy and short-spoken doctor. Yes, his intelligence and hands-on experience are impressive, but we most admire his compassion and ability to connect with each of his patients on a personal level. When visiting Dr. Brunckhorst, I never feel rushed, ignored, or anxious. In addition to the superb medical care he's provided my family (myself, husband, and two daughters), he continues to save us money with each visit. He won't schedule multiple appointments for something that can be addressed in just one visit and often time prescribes generic-brand medications (when possible), which work just the same as the ultra-pricey ones with a fancy name. I would recommend him to all of my friends and family. Dr. Brunckhorst is a name you can trust!!

The office staff was very helpful, and explained everything I could ever need to know. He performed a quick and painless procedure, and I was out the door. The results were great, and I owe my health to him!

I think this surgeon Dr. B is deficient in diagnostic and surgical skill. My GP diagnosed a bilateral hernia and I went to Dr.B. who found only a single hernia. He performed laparoscopic surgery which never held--he suggested I had done something to mar his work and cause a recurrence. I then went to a new surgeon who diagnosed a bilateral hernia (like my GP), performed an open surgery correction, and observed the mesh patch placed by Dr. B was where it should be but was too small to repair the area.
