“Amazing!!! If I could give Dr.Brucker 10 stars I would!! From the first consultation all the way through my preop appointments and then my surgery and post op, everything was stellar. Dr Brucker is extremely knowledgeable, experienced, and kind, all with a great bedside manner. I never felt rushed and he really takes the time to explain everything and listens to your concerns. His aesthetic ability is top notch. I needed a breast revision due to capsular contracture, animation deformity, and bilateral ruptured implants. My previous surgeon had retired, so I had to start from scratch and find a new surgeon. After several consultations with various surgeons and research, as soon as I met Dr. Brucker there was no question he was the right surgeon. And being a registered nurse myself, I will tell you that l am extremely particular. He fixed everything and the results are incredible. I woke up the very first day without the long time chronic pain I was experiencing from the contracture and ruptures. Not to mention, they look awesome! And, his nurse Jen, is spectacular!! She is also extremely knowledgeable and makes you feel comfortable every step of the way. She went above and beyond to answer my questions and make sure I had the appropriate medications for after my surgery. Tricia, his surgical coordinator, is super responsive and communicated all the necessary pre op information and got answers to any questions I had before and after surgery. The office staff are always welcoming and friendly. I am still healing, but I can confidently 100% recommend Dr. Brucker Plastic Surgery!”
“I recently had a breast reduction with free nipple graft done by Dr. Brucker and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From my first consultation, Dr. Brucker truly listened me and took my wants and needs seriously. He explained that a nipple graft would be necessary for me to reach my desired goal of going from a size DD/E to a B/C and addressed all my concerns and questions about the more invasive procedure with friendly professionalism. He showed so much empathy, making me feel comfortable and reassured throughout the entire process. His staff was equally amazing—nurse Jen, in particular, was so attentive and knowledgeable. Dr. Brucker's office is well-run and I was always seen on time, with appointments being quick but thorough. He approaches his procedures with an artistic, designers eye and his surgical skills are exceptional; not only did the procedure go smoothly, but I’ve regained sensation in my nipples which I wasn’t sure would happen. The results truly exceeded my expectations and I’m incredibly grateful for the care and expertise provided by Dr. Brucker and his team. Very highly recommend!”
“I couldn't be more happy with my results!!! I interviewed eight different surgeons before I finally made the decision to move forward with my procedure. I had a breast reduction, lift and a tummy tuck. I am 8 weeks post surgery and I am thrilled with everything from start to finish! Dr. Brucker is amazing along with his entire team. Nurse Jen was the best and was so helpful with all my questions, a true professional! I felt very comfortable with Dr. Brucker he took the time to explain everything and he answered all my questions without rushing me. He was informative in his communication as to what I could expect my results to be and the recovery process of the surgery. I felt well taken care of by everyone, Dr. Brucker, Nurse Jen, Tricia(office Manager) the anesthesiologists and the entire office staff. I highly recommend this team for your cosmetic needs.”
“I met with 3 other doctors before I met Dr. Brucker. A friend recommended Dr. Brucker to me and I am so thankful! My implants were 33 years old and had ruptured. One doctor told me he would remove my implants and I would have to wait at least 6 months to know if I could have them replaced. I was a wreck! Dr. Brucker calmed me down and took his time explaining everything about the procedure. Dr. Brucker and his staff are extremely knowledgeable and very kind. It’s been a week since my surgery, and I am SO happy with the results. Dr. Brucker is professional, friendly and his nurse Jenn is amazing! His staff was patient with me and everyone made me feel comfortable from start to the finished perfect results! THANK YOU SO MUCH!”
“I met with Dr. Brucker two times to discuss my upcoming cosmetic surgery. I had some questions after our first visit and he was patient and informative in the second putting my concerns at rest. However, the result was totally underwhelming and I did not look any different than before the surgery. Dr. Brucker is a nice person but he is way too conservative. I spent almost $20K for nothing. If you actually want to have a definite improvement after surgery, do not go to Dr. Brucker.”
