Patient Reviews
Dec 28, 2024
I saw Dr. Bruggeman a week ago for a sore thumb and wrist. the thumb had been bothering me for over 2 years and my doctor didn't do anything about it. When the pain moved to my wrist he referred me to Dr. Bruggeman and after x rays were taken I was treated and within 2 days 90% of the pain was gone. I wish I could have seen him 2 years ago.
