November 12, 2024Jody J.Verified patient
They did a wonderful job. They send out the paperwork for new patients so that I didn’t have to come in really early to fill it out. I didn’t see it, so they called to make sure I would. Wonderful people.

Doctors scare me due to past trauma. Dr Brudnak came in with such a kind and compassionate energy that I immediately felt at ease. He kept me distracted with stories and funny jokes while he helped with my pain. Staff was kind and informative. I highly recommend Dr Daniel Brudnak!

Dr Dan is the best. I have seen him twice for chronic shoulder issues and his techniques always get me back on track. He has the best beside manner of any Dr I’ve ever seen. He listens and explains everything to you. My shoulder feels 50% better after 1/2 visits. I have another appt today with him today. If you have chronic pain or joint issues you NEED to see Dr Dan ASAP. No need to go through pain unnecessarily. Gary Richards
