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.

Obviously very knowledgeable but in my humble personal opinion not the most personable or compassionate/empathetic.

My elderly mother has osteoporosis, and I've been taking her to Dr. Bruce every 6 months since July 2015 for checkups and medication. Dr. Bruce has been very patient, kind, caring, unhurried, and thorough during each appointment. I wish I could say the same for every doctor my mother and I have! I'm so glad we found Dr. Bruce, and eventually I'll be seeing her for myself too!

Doctor Bruce has a great bedside manner and she seems to care about me. I have a strange health case, she takes tie to hear me not just listen to me. She has helped me with my Fibromyalgia CFS & CSS. I highly recommend her.

Love Dr Bruce! Have FINALLY found my doctor! She spent a great deal of time going through my past labs and listened to me and seemed genuinely concerned about getting to the bottom of my symptoms. She even called me on a Sunday regarding labs. Cannot say enough good things about her. Also a shout out to Inger the lab tech who took my blood the FIRST time! Very sweet, caring and has unique way of drawing blood for those hard to stick.

I feel like every appointment is a waste of time. She never seems to care about my health issues or suggests ways to cope with the arthritis pain.

My first visit with Dr. Bruce went well I felt like she took the time to listen To my concerns and we did some blood work. My second visit did not go so well. I live over an hour away. My appointment was at 8 AM and I got stuck in .traffic at about 730 so I called the office to let them know we were at a stand still and that I was still going to come. I get there I am told that I have to wait to see if I’ll be seen. After 45 minutes Dr. Bruce says I have to reschedule. She did not care.

She is alright but I didn't feel truly cared for. The staff can be rude on the phone and she will reject medicine refills even when you need it. I felt like she downplayed a lot of my health concerns and didn't feel validated.

I am so very pleased with Dr. Bruce. She is understanding, really takes the time to listen. I never feel like I am being rushed in and out of her office. She is always on top of my care even on top of my medications that my primary doctor prescribes. She explains blood test results on a level that is understandable. Always willing to answer any questions. I have had three other Rheumatologist and by far she has been the best. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a new dr.

I have seen Dr. Bruce twice since my existing rheumatologist there left this practice. I cannot say enough good things about this office. The office staff is friendly and Dr. Bruce is the best. I never feel hurried when talking to her.
