All good. Dr Bruegel is the best.
Dr.Bruegal is simply outstanding!
Dr. Bruegel is second to none when it comes to physicians. Her communication skills far exceed most physicians especially when it comes to explaining your medical condition and the options available. Her expression of empathy regarding your diagnosis puts you at ease throughout the appointment.

Dr Bruegel is the best! You can tell she really wants to connect with her patients and takes the time to truly listen to you…and took time to thoroughly explain the medical information and treatment for my trigger finger issue. Southcoast is lucky to have her working for them.

Dr bruegel 's knowledge And expertise seems endless. She is very kind, gentle and caring. Excellent provider and staff was also very knowledgeable.
I would like to say that Dr. Brugel was very patient and explained the surgical procedure that we were talking about very well and made it simple. She did her best to get the surgery scheduled in a timely manner. The other thing was Alyssa, who was the young woman who scheduled the surgery date, was very efficient and very courteous and very caring.
Dr Bruegal is compassionate and professional. She always listens to my concerns.
A great visit and explanation of my issues. Well prepared. A recommendation, for myself would be a written review of the different issues and possible remedies. Trying to remember can be challenging when reviewing later. Just a suggestion was still pleased with the review of my situation.
Everything was great Dr B is very informative loved all the information she gave me to help me thru my injury and goals we should be meeting at our next appointment .

I appreciated the time talking with the doctor. She was very thorough and explained my problem easily.
Dr. B was excellent! She examined thoroughly, including an x-ray, she provided me with options and explained to me the pros and cons of each. She left the decision up to me however I trusted her expertise and judgment. We together agreed on the path forward. I requested Dr. B by NAME based on her reputation. I am definitely not disappointed. She's excellent!
I was very impressed with the doctor's professionalism and her effort to provided me with information regarding my treatment options . I will absolutely refer family and friends!
The staff is friendly, helpful and pleasant. It's always a pleasant experience.
Seen with in 5 min of arriving there . Appt was for 3:00 was on my way home by 3:30 after X-rays and exam with doctor
She is amazing, she listens and she creates a plan and she follows up and is genuinely concerned and wants you to feel better.
Dr Bruegal always takes her time to listen to me as I'm sure she does that with all of her patients but with that being said, it also backs her up and makes her run late for appts so maybe they shouldn't book them so close together so this doesn't happen. You always have to plan to be there for a minimum of 1 1/2 hours.
Dr. Bruegel has been wonderful with me, explaining everything at each step. I have complete confidence in her ability as my orthopedic physician.
This was my first consultation with Dr. Bruegel. All went very well. Very informative and friendly. I think this will all work out well as I head into hand surgery
Dr. Bruegel is knowledgeable, listens and clear in her communication. She's also friendly and compassionate! The office staff were pleasant and hard working. It's a busy office so you do need to wait, but the care received is worth the wait!
Dr. Bruegel repaired my hand and wrist when I broke them in 2018 and I have had no issues. When I explained the current symptoms in my other hand, she instantly knew the issue. I would recommend her 1000x over.
Professional, knowledgable, and kind! I have nothing negative to say… very well run office
Dr Bruegel is knowledgeable and skilled in the full array of hand and wrist procedures. She has performed successful carpal tunnel and trigger finger surgeries for me. I have complete confidence in her recommendations and skills.
The DR was behind schedule, so the wait was awhile. It happens, everyone in the waiting room said this Dr is very good . I liked her. Down to earth, listened to me. Straightforward and communicated well.
Was PERFECT will highly recommend!!
Office staff was efficient and pleasant. Dr. Bruegel was very nice and explained everything thoroughly. I'm glad my PCP referred her.
The office staff was very helpful and communicated in a timely manner much more so than previous visits very pleased with my experience
Wait time was excessive but the doctor was very professional and courteous
My only complaint, and it is a mild one, was the slight delay I had in getting called in, then after the PA's initial intake before the doctor came in. Good thing I brought a book, or I'd have twiddled my thumbs raw! FYI, I was in the waiting room 15 minutes past my appointment time (for which I was 10 minutes early), then I'd say the delay between the PA and doc was 10 more minutes.
Everything love this office!
I had no issues at all.
Knowledgeable, honest, polite and explained my problems thoroughly.
Loved Dr Buegel and how she explained everything
This was my first visit and although the staff was nice, my appointment was for 3 pm and I did not get seen until 4:15 pm.
The care was excellent and the exam was thorough. I never felt rushed. The staff were all pleasant. All in all, a wonderful experience!
Everyone who had a part of my care during my visit was friendly, courteous, and very professional. It was an extremely good visit. Thank you.

I was taken promptly and explained in detail what was wrong with my wrists.
Appointment was a few minutes late but it was late afternoon, so it was fine. Dr Bruegel explained everything including showing me X-rays. We discussed the pros and cons of each option and jointly agreed on the best one for me.

The front desk always is welcoming and kind. I don't really know her name but she's a blonde lady at the front desk that checks me in. Dr. Bruegel always takes her time with me and explains everything and she listens to any other issues that I might have medically and she's just awesome. I would recommend her to anyone.
This was my 1st time visiting with Dr Bruegel. She was pleasant, respectful and enthusiastic. Dr B had lots of experience and information and explained my condition (trigger finger) very clearly. She wAs comforting when administering the needle. I really was impressed and formed a trusted bond with Dr B on the first visit. Job well done!

Dr. B was great. She explained everything to me in a way I understood. She has a great personality and I am glad I chose her.
Love Dr Bruegel. She is smart, informed, and considers the patient when making suggestions or recommendations. No complaints, concerns, or issues of note.
Provider was rushed - I assume because of running nearly 1 hour late.
Glad the provider was open to an alternative diagnostic method post discussion.
Absolutely wonderful experienceu00A0
Did not have to wait so long in room to be seen
DR. BRUEGEL IS JUST THE BEST!!!
I think the doctor was simply amazing. I think the wait time was way too long. It was about 35, 40 minutes. That's my only concerns.
The Dr was good but I sat in the room for 45 minuts before she came in , NOT GOOD

Dr very knowledgeable Explaining my upcoming procedure.Asking about my concerns and checking with my oncologist, making sure that my health wouldn't be compromised. Would recommend her to anyone else experiencing this same issue.
Very caring and thorough.
Nothing to complain about everyone was great and helpful couldn't ask for a better group of people to deal with
Great doc…
They could improve the service time. I waited an hour and a half after my appointment time. The appointment was at 10:15, and they saw me at 11:20, so you can improve that part.
No change everyone was very nice and very helpful.
Wonderful Dr.

no pressure, explained everthing well,
Dr. Bruegel is exceptionally personable and upbeat, a quality sometimes lacking in modern medicine. One can easily see that she is very passionate about her specialty. She listens very carefully and provides useful pragmatic answers, feedback and suggestions. All in all, I am VERY happy to have found her.

Everyone was very polite I have nothing bad to say about my experience
Very friendly and explained things clearly
I think that the staff that assisted me were very polite. Dr Bruegal was extremely polite and professional and wish all Drs could be like her.Thank you.
She was great. Spent a lot of time, had more X-rays done to be thorough. Follow up appointment schedule, she was running a few minutes late but well worth the wait. Since I'm already going to PT for my shoulder some stuff was referred back to them. Very considerate, great communicator.
Very supportive, explained everything so that I could understand
Dr. Bruegel is wonderful!
Dr Breugel provided excellent care and as always was very in tune with my specific patient needs.The staff were courteous and professional The wait time was a bit long, but the care received was well worth it!
Explained everything and gave me options.
75 mins from appt time to meeting with provider is not okay. Staff should also apologize for the extended wait time, which was not the case. Furthermore, if I arrived 75 mins late to my appt then I would have to pay a penalty and reschedule.
Everything was done very well. All the staff are great.Dr Bruegel is so awesome.So nice to her staff .
Dr Bruegel listens and responds appropriately to any questions or concerns. Previous experiences with Dr. Bruegel have also been excellent.
Listened to my issues and did not dismiss my concerns. Excellent office manners.
Long wait, but staff and provider apologized for delay. Very understandable as Medical issues come up while provider is in room, and she takes the time to address. So not really an issue due to care that Dr provides.
