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.

DR Bruce replaced my knee and exactly 2 years later I have a revision. Another replacement.

Shoulder Pain Relief
Experienced shoulder pain that I was hoping would go away on its own. Got frustrated with the limited mobility and continued pain so decided to seek medical advice. Dr Bruce was quick to diagnose as tendinitis and I was relieved I didn’t need surgery. After a cortisone shot and a little physical therapy, I’m headed back to the gym feeling great!

Excellent appointment with Dr Bruce
Dr Bruce explained things really well and reviewed all the details of what is needed for my left knee pain, arthritis and bone on bone situation. And he was able to remedy part of the problem by administering a cortisone shot that day! Thank you for excellent care and for a staff that was extremely knowledgeable and friendly!

There when I need him
KCBJ answers their phones!! Dr. Bruce & his Physician's Assistant are very accessible. I have a knee issue that takes me to see them at least once a year. They are always patient & thorough. I would not hesitate recommending them.

Knowledgeable and caring,
I have been a patient of Dr. Bruce for 10-15 years. His recommendations for both my ankle and knee issues have so far kept me walking without replacement surgery. I highly recommend.

Discovery - Diagnosis - Design treatment plan
Returned to the practice that is responsible for my 15 & 20 year knee replacements. Staff and doctor listened to my concerns to discover the diagnosis and treatment plan to address my hip degeneration that developed a hip flexor muscular constriction problem.This is only the preoperative stage and staff did provide necessary information to prepare patient for joint replacement and provide the patient with knowledge of the desired expectations from the operation.
