Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Awesome! I’ve been going to Dr Bruce for a long time. Office staff nice and caring people.

Dr Bruce is a well liked Dentist, Though, I would advise anyone seeking treatment to get a second opinion on what procedures he is recommending. His approach is questionably aggressive. Dr Bruce provided a treatment plan for filling 23 cavities. Upon close inspection by two other highly respected local Dentists, Each dentist advised that 9 of the fillings that were performed showed no signs of decay on the X-rays, and the remaining 11 cavities scheduled to be filled showed no decay in his X-rays, nor were they evident in a second and third Dentist's X-rays. Each dentist "performed an intra-oral exam with the additional use of Fiber Optic light to shine through the teeth and detected no decay". Be careful not to agree to work that may not be required.
