My appointment was for 345. At 404, I was escorted into a room and apologized to about the slight delay. I then sat in the room until 455 until the provider came in. At no point in that time did anyone stop by to say that there was an even longer delay. The provider once arriving was great.

I saw Dr. Bruegel for the first time yesterday. She is a truly gifted physician. From the minute she walked into the room I could tell she cares about her patients and combines that passion with deep knowledge and expertise that she easily communicates. I wish more doctors had her sense of attention to patient care and wisdom.

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.

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.

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!

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!

Appointment was a few minutes late but it was late afternoon, so it was fine. Dr Bruegel explained everything including showing me X-rays.

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
