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.

Not A Fan
My husband has been seeing Dr Bress for approximately 5 years. Recently my husband has been dealing with recurrent sinus infections, bronchitis, chronic cough for 7 months. I finally went to an appointment with my husband because I wanted to see how Dr Bress conducts himself with a patient and what his plan for my husband was. First, he did not even acknowledge I was in the room until my husband introduced me. When I asked questions, he did not answer me directly but spoke instead to my husband. He was rather curt and did not explain why he was ordering more tests or take time to ask if we had any further questions before sending us on our way. Very poor communication skills. Perhaps he has been in practice too long and he has lost his compassion for interacting with humans. I would not recommend him if you want an attentive doctor who listens to you and actually involves you in your own healthcare decisions.

Outstanding Doctor
Dr. Bress is experienced and knowledgeable. He takes time to explain things and to answer any questions. His staff is friendly and helpful. They are able to take care of many required blood tests in their own in-house lab facilities. I was very pleased with every visit that I have had.

Dr. Bress is great! His experience and willingness to refer you to excellent specialists when necessary is wonderful. He's a very caring and knowledgeable Physician. His staff is wonderful. My husband has had some serious health issues in the last few years and Dr. Bress and his staff have been awesome. I'd give him higher marks if there were more stars!

I have been a patient of Dr, Bress for over 20 years. In the past 10 years I have had 4 major spine surgeries and other complications. Dr. Bress has been there the whole time. Obviously, this is not his specialty but the after surgery care has been 2nd to none. He offers suggestions and researches viable other possibilities. If it wasn't for he and his staff i would have had a much more difficult post-op recovery as well as normal life. He has helped me achieve a sustainable quality of life.
