Dr Bruce and his staff have been great at helping my wife and I with our medical needs in our new hometown. Having lived primarily in major cities, the nuance of small town medical care can be a challenge. Dr Bruce has helped us with this transition while providing excellent care as our PCP.

Overall Rating: 1.0 2023-05-03

I called them because there was a mishap where they messed up or maybe I made a mistake with putting my emergency contact phone number and they were messaging my emergency contact my information and I called to let them know that we needed to fix it and they were so rude to me.  It was just unbearable and I’m leaving this doctor right away because of the staff being so rude.  When I asked several times for someone else, she refused to help me. She just wanted to argue with me and it was awful awful awful. Please avoid at all cost.  Then she said the telephone calls are recorded and i said good let play it back,.  I want to tell Dr. Bruce about this so he can act accordingly, but they wouldnt let me leave a message for him or anything.
