My husband and I were very satisfied with our visit. Dr. Bruggeman explains everything so we understand and addresses our questions. From our initial consult, the surgery and post op we have felt completely comfortable with everything. We most certainly would refer Dr. Bruggeman to others.

He provides options of treatment before recommending the extreme treatment. I prefer this type of treatment before rushing into options like injections and surgery right off the bat. Receptionist and assistant, both very pleasant.
