I was desperate for information before my trip to Mexico. I called Dr. Bruce at random because I thought his office was nearby. Dr. Bruce kindly returned my call even though he is not practicing. He provided me with information on how to take care of my ears after having Covid and my severe head congestion which has caused extreme hearing loss. It is too bad Dr. Bruce isn’t still practicing as he gave me more information than I’ve ever received with doctors I’ve been to since my Covid episode. I’d sure like to see Dr. Bruce ... read more
I went to Dr Bruce for 13+ years, he was awesome! I wish I could go back to him but Im not sure if he takes my insurance.
I've encountered some pretty poor customer service since moving to Reno, but Dr. Bruce's office takes the cake.
Dr. Bruce was fantastic. He explained everything about my condition and how everything worked in extreme detail. He took more time educating me than any of several other doctors I’ve seen recently. He also discovered that i have partially paralyzed vocal cords which 2 other doctors had failed to report after their examinations of my throat. I would totally recommend him to anyone.
Dr. Bruce was extremely helpful in listening to my problems, recommending advice, and calming my nerves about my tonsillectomy. The surgery itself was quick and healing went well; you can tell he has done it many times. I called the office as a new patient, scheduled my appointments, and had my tonsils removed all within the span of only one month. This office and doctor is amazing and I would highly recommend!
Often I think about this man who rushed to the emergency room in the middle of the night and saved my life about 16 years ago. Had it not been for his care and expertise I would not be here. He completely rebuilt my face. I got online today to find his phone number so that I could call and thank him again. The only comments I saw were very negative. If he said you need to lose weight and you say you have a problem hearing????? I bet there is some connection there. Thank you Dr Bruce
Rather than listening or talking about the ear pain and dizziness I’ve experienced for 2 months he began talking about my weight, asked if I would like to see a BMI chart, and recommend I look into bariatric surgery. Briefly looked in my ears, told me they were fine, told me again to lose weight, and said “it’s not like you have a brain tumor or anything”.
Told him I hadn't eaten in 6 days because I couldn't swallow and he essentially told me it was no big deal. Completely ignored me when I told him my swallowing seemed to be connected to back pain. He seemed in a rush to get me out of their so he just had his assistant schedule some tests with another department of renown. Seemed like he couldn't get me out of his office fast enough. I would not recommend him.
