Dr. Michael Brunelli, MD

My finger surgery was a complete disaster. I strongly advise against seeing this doctor, as I now face permanent loss of movement and required a second surgery by another surgeon to fix Dr. Brunelli's errors. The aftercare was horrendous. Following the surgery, my finger started turning purple, and when I raised concerns, he assured me it was normal, which was completely false. I experienced severe issues, including loss of sensation, a missing nail, and dead skin requiring removal. Despite my concerns about dislocation after two weeks in a brace, he dismissed them without an X-ray. Eventually, an X-ray revealed my finger had been dislocated the entire time, and by then, it was too late to correct it. Now, my finger is permanently bent, and I will never regain full movement.

Very bad doctor. Was unable to answer any questions, stated he never read the MRI report and never examined the injured hand and was unable to explain why hand was in such pain after 2 months of waiting. Just walked out of the room. Possibly due to being an LGBT couple in his office. Do not recommend this provider, others in the office are excellent.

I tore open my finger on a locker door. As a guy, I delayed having it checked. A day or so later, he examined me in his office. He was able to treat my injury which resulted in a well-healed tear.

I saw Dr Brunelli with a complaint of wrist pain that had been an issue for two months. He immediately put me at ease with his easy going nature and kindness. He asked me to describe the pain while he gently examined my wrist. Within a few minutes he explained what the problem was and suggested a cortisone injection. It was quick and painless. I would highly recommend Dr Brunelli.

Dr. Brunelli is a very knowledgeable, professional and kind Dr. He explains all that he is going to do. I have been going to him for a long time and will continue to go. I would encourage anyone to see him that has the problems that he takes care of. The staff is friendly and very helpful. Thank you for everything.

Very knowledgeable, professional, and thorough. Looking forward to getting issues resolved and feel confident he will get the job done.

I have been getting arthritis treatment from Dr Brunelli for years. When I broke my wrist, he did the surgery to repair the wrist and it healed beautifully, quickly, and I never had any pain throughout the process. I have recommended Dr. Brunelli whenever my family or friends have hand or arm problem.

I had major weakness and pain in my thumb due to Arthritis. Dr. Brunelli transferred some wrist tendons to my thumb and removed my trapezium bone, pain is gone, restriction are gone, strength has returned. It took four months to fully recover, but outcome was perfect.

Dr. Brunelli is extremely capable, very professional, compassionate and personable. I wish he was available for more than hand to clavicle!

Short wait time. Dr. Brunelli was knowledgeable, polite and listened. Treatment was successful in relieving my symptoms and pain.

Great

Helped me and my son understand sport related finger injury and recovery process.

The staff are amazing, from the receptionists to the assistants. I had a good rapport with Dr. Brunelli, he listens to the patient's concerns, prior to interventions .

I'm a returning patient of Dr. Brunelli. He did such a fabulous job with my first hand surgery (correcting 2 trigger fingers) that when another finger needed surgery I didn't hesitate to go back to him. His office staff is very professional and extremely efficient. I highly recommend Dr. Brunelli and his office. Others could take a lesson from this team as to how to treat patients and run an office!

Always a pleasure and relief to meet with Dr. Brunelli. He always know how to relieve my stress….and pain. I have met with him several times over 8 years for different problems (carpal tunnel, trigger fingers, surgical interventions) and he is always gentle, decisive and reassuring. I have recommended him to several people who have been equally pleased.

Dr. Brunelli took T1 Diabetic son and helped him when his PC couldn't. He cares about his patients and their well-being while having great.bedside manners. He helped my son's infection and hand/fingers without surgery. He is the only orthopedic hand surgeon/specialist that I will use for my son and for myself. His office staff is great too. Thank you Fran for your help.

I found Dr Brunelli through a recommendation from a friend. He truly cares about his patients and takes the time needed to answer questions and definitely take care of the problem. You may have a little wait ( I’m a freak about ppl being on time) but his main concern is taking care of patients problems and that’s what truly matters

Excellent as usual. He is a true professional who works very hard to alleviate my pain for my two inoperable torn rotator cuffs. Visiting for shots every several months is like meeting with an old friend.

It was very busy in the office. The time with Dr Brunelli was fine, but the office ladies were overworked. Susan promised to call the following day with info re: surgery, and she did
