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.

Great Doctor
Dr Brunelle performed cryo surgery for my prostate cancer 22 years ago and I’m still cancer free at 84 years old. I highly recommend Dr Brunelle.

THE BEST
He is the best doctor I have EVER been to or seen. I am 76 years old and I have had many, many surgeries. When I had prostate cancer I checked with other doctors before seeing Dr. Brunelle and he was recommended as the best. I took their advice and I have never regretted it. Everyone in the office is very helpful and professional.

Having been a patient of Dr Brunelle's for many years, I can proudly say that he is one of the best diagnostitions and surgeons that I have witnessed in my years of working in surgery as an OR Tech. His attention to detail and surgical skill is impressive. Through the years, I have sent many family and friends to Dr Burnelle for treatment. Without hesitation, I would highly recommend Dr Burnelle for your medical and/or surgical treatment.

This doctor is uncaring of his patients and takes almost no time with his patients. He escorts you to the receptionist to discuss your case in front of the receptionist, who incidentally is rude and anyone else who might be standing there.

This doctor has the bedside manner of a wrecking ball. He's an angry man and has no compassion for his patients.

I was humiliated while undergoing an ultrasound in his office. He was very rough. I had several appointments in a short time ,and they were all uncomfortable so I cancelled the most recent one. I won't go back.

Completely outdated office in terms of quality, medical equipment, and information technology. Where they collect urine samples was dirty and over a carpeted floor.

The doctor himself was friendly, and likely very capable. However, I didn't stay for the examination because I could NOT get over the obvious unsanitary appearance of the equipment. Its ok that it was older equipment, but it was visually unclean. Based on this, unfortunately I would not recommend this physician for urology services.
