Patient Reviews
Jan 08, 2024
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 open up an emergency clinic for ENT!!

What’s a board certification and why is it important that my provider has one?

A board certification represents a provider’s dedication to ongoing training in one or more specialties, including the completion of intensive exams. While not all specialties have board certifications, if your provider does have one they’ve taken the extra step to master their specialty and to keep up with the latest advancements in their field.
