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.

She is wonderful !!

I was a patient of Dr. Bruns five years ago. When my symptoms recently reappeared I made an appointment with her because of her outstanding expertise and wonderful bedside manner. Dr. Bruns spends time explaining things and answering any questions you may have. I have had several medical issues in my 64 years and Dr. Bruns is at the top of the list of specialists I have seen and I would definitely recommend her to family and friends!

Dr. Bruns was treating my husband for dementia, after talking with her we both had hope - hope that we could live as well as possible with the correct medical treatment; that things could be dealt with and that even though it wasn't a great diagnosis, we would still have time together - time to live and make more memories.

Dr. Burns is truly a wonderful doctor. English is not my moms 1st language. I interpret for my mom. (I'm writing this review for my mom) Dr. Bruns makes sure my mom understands everything. We never feel rushed. Dr. Bruns prints out all information in Italian for my mom. Never had that done before. We highly recommend Dr. Bruns.

Dr. Bruns is a godsend to me. She treated me in Ohio before moving to New York. Her opinion is something I trust highly and she provided me and my family with such useful and important information regarding H.E./S.R.E.A.. She is such a wise physician and has such a caring and kind demeanor. I miss her very much.
