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.

Scientific! Honest! No Gaslighting!
Absolutely love this Dr. No medical gaslighting. Real discussions about recent and past publications. Honest about the knowns and unknows of endocrine therapy for 10 years. Honest about possible reductions in quality of life due to breast cancer treatment. Works hard to find options to work through side effects where possible. Very glad to find a Dr who is scientifically honest. I feel like i can finally plan my life around the reality of breast cancer reoccurrence being a lifelong possibility.

If you want a doctor to hold your hand, go elsewhere. If you want a doctor who is up on the latest in his field and will cure you,this is the doctor. He knew my poly neuropathy was caused by my breast cancer. Cancer treatment center knew nothing about this, even after we told them. Dr Bruetman will tell you exactly what you have and the best treatment. I have 100% confidence in Dr Bruetman. A patient cured by Dr Bruetman

Never feel I am cared about in his office, more like just a number. He is always rushing in and out with no time for how I am really feeling. Tried to express different concerns to him and he brushes me off and tells me if I don't do as he says I will be labeled an "untreatable" patient. No bedside manner at all. Important test results were missed and I never received a call about further testing until 2 months after the fact.

I have been seeing this doctor for about a year now. Would not recommend him to anyone. If you value your life - please, please go to someone else. I hate to even bring this up and give him any kind of rating. No compassion at all. Will not return phone calls, no contact while I was in the hospital very ill. Waited over 3 weeks for a phone call from him and never received it. When I did get an answer it was from a doctor in the hospital which was an internal medicine dr. In the ER dept. So hurt

It hurts me to even give this doctor one star. I would NEVER recommend this oncologist and staff to anybody! Too many bad experiences to count. The communication is slim to none in this office. It is almost impossible to get an appointment within a reasonable timeframe! My mother was a patient of his and my family have cried a lot of tears of frustration over this doctor. He shows no compassion! Not once has he called to check on her as she has been in ER 3-4times this past month as it spreads!
