I can't think of anything anyone could've improved on during my time there. They were very kind and explained everything.
My provider is taking too many patients and the wait times are ridiculous
Love Dr Bruegel, great personality, super encouraging & informative. Office n staff very effective.
Dr Bruegel is the best!!!
Very, very highly skilled and knowledgeable. Very, very nice.
The Dr was over an hour late for a 3:45 appointment. After waiting 7 weeks to get an office appointment I continued to wait in the waiting room. Finally was seen at 5 o'clock and immediately was told I can go somewheres else for treatment because the Dr refused to administer a cortisone shot I asked about for my extremely 2 month painful tennis elbow that is 24/7 hurting. I'm not happy at all with my visit.
Dr. Bruegel was very good at explaining my issue and was very understanding.
Very nice Doctor, very informative, answered all my concerns.
Dr Bruegel explained the procedure carefully, answered all my questions, was concerned about my comfort, and a follow up appointment was made.
Everyone in your staff was extremely helpful and pleasant. Dr. Brugel was absolutely amazing. She's very compassionate. She listens and I would recommend her to everybody.
Dr Bruegel was very thorough and spent ample time with me for my appt. She explained my condition thoroughly and made receiving a cortisone injection a breeze, talking to me throughout explaining what to expect and what I would be feeling. Her bedside manner is great as well. Very knowledgeable in her field. I would highly recommend! The only unsatisfactory comment is that I had to wait nearly three months to be seen. Previous appt scheduled was canceled by the provider's office and had to be rescheduled for over a month later. Other than that, I was very pleased!
Dr Bruegel was very clear explaining everything and asked many questions. She is very kind and understands patients get nervous and does her best to keep them calm. She has excellent bed side manner! A great doctor who I would recommend to anyone!
I had complex right hand trigger finger surgery on two fingers by Dr Bruegel. I cannot say enough positive things about her. She listens to you, answers all your questions and you can tell she truly cares about her patients…and is a very skilled hand surgeon.
I would give Dr Bruegel 1,000,000 stars if I could. She is exceptional!!!
It was a very informative appointment . The Doctor was very concerned and set me up with additional testing to treat my issue .
Staff are always nice in the office and Dr. Brugell makes you feel very comfortable. She's very knowledgeable, feels safe in her hands and not a problem. She's always there when you need her and she's got great advice and just wonderful.
Dr.Victoria Brugel is amazing.Besides being a well educated Doctor her personality is exceptional.Wish more drs.were like her down to earth.
The provider was outstanding!! She explained everything in a practical and thorough manner. I would recommend her to anyone for the excellence she demonstrated to me. Having said that, the lower scores were a result of waiting for 60 minutes past my appointed time to see the provider after having had the appointment moved to this date and time by them. This was a scheduling issue that I do not want to reflect badly on the individual provider.
Dr. Bruegel is wonderful. I drove 1 hour to see her and was not disappointed. I am a primary care provider and wish she was closer to me so I could send my patients to her. She took her time, explained things clearly and gave recommendations ( non- surgical) that have helped me). She is a treasure.
Dr Bruegel was kind and caring. She runs a little behind but that is to be expected because she shows exceptional care for her patients. I could hear her greeting patients she is so caring and compassionate
Dr Bruegel is a very careful concientious talented surgeon. She explains everything she needs to do and why. She is very thorough and wants her patients to be informed and makes sure that they are. I felt very well cared for and at ease in her care regarding a difficult wrist break with ligament damage.
Great staff & doctor. Very professional service & care.
She was very kind...good listener..although a bit behind schedule..she apologized, very thorough with x ray explaining everything. Told me my options. It was my choice to decide surgery or other alternative. DR BRUEGEL IS THE BEST.
Outstanding. Thank you very much.
Everyone was very caring, thoughtful, efficient, competent, thorough and helpful
Dr Bruegel and staff have treated well from the minute I was referred. I have had her for over a year with multiple issues and she's always treated me professionally and with great kindness
I am so impressed with Dr. Bruegel. At every visit, she is caring and amazingly smart and very patient-centric. She shows the x-rays and explains what is going on in terms that I can understand and helps me to be part of the decisions for my own care. She is absolutely one of my most favorite doctors ever.
So knowledgeable. So interesting to see Dr Bruegel. I always learn so much abt carpal tunnel. I enjoy seeing her. Great doctor ! Pleasant office.
The wait time is longer while in the room for when having to be seen by the provider- vs once the provider enters the actual visit is much shorter!The wait time after checking in has improved.Facility is well kept!

The staff is very friendly. Dr Bruegel answered my questions and explained all the details of my upcoming surgery.
It's always a pleasant experience when I see Dr. Bruegel. She's always positive, caring and explains every thing in detail. And she's funny!

Dr Bruegel seemed very experienced and knowledgeable.
Dr Bruegel always has provided me with high quality care when seeing her for trigger finger problems. She also shows genuine care for me as her patient…and takes time to listen to my questions/concerns.
I was the second patient of the day and my appt was at 8:45. I wasn't seen until 10 am. I know things happen, but it would have been nice to have been told she was running behind.
A quicker appointment would be great but I know she's in high demand otherwise there is no # higher that I could give her,she is absolutely impeccable. She is the best of the best.
I saw the doctor on my third visit. Why would it take three visits?The doctor was EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!
I've been suffering with Paris, esthesia on my arm and hand for a long time, there was a recommendation for EMG testing to test the electricity/muscle function in my nerves. I wish that I had gotten some more information about what I can do in the interim. I did arrive 30 minutes before my appointment however, I still had to wait 35 minutes beyond my appointment time.
Dr Bruegel is very kind, compassionate and caring!!! I wish all my doctors were like her…she is the BEST!!!
I waited in the exam room for 45 minutes before I saw the doctor. She was great but the wait time was way too long.
I had to wait a little longer than usual, but this was the specialist I wanted to see. Worth the wait.
Dr Bruegel listed what I had to say and said that she could help
I wish that the Dr could schedule appointments to have more time; I think that that would actually help the doctor not be so behind
I have received great care with Dr Bruegel and her staff . I am very happy with my choice !!
Dr Bruegel was so thorough and knowledgable. She gave me confidence in her diagnosis. She was friendly and easy to speak with. The office staff was excellent also!
Things were explained so well.
Very efficient staff, didn't have to wait long, and the staff were compassionate and the Dr. was awesome too.

Dr. Bruegel put me at ease explaining arthritis and tendon issues in my right hand/left wrist! She gave me a cortisone shot and one - week in, I feel so much better. She listens which is KEY to me for a Dr. Two friends asked about how my Dr. visit went - I described my care with Dr. Bruegel and, of course, shared the contact info. Thanks!

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.

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.
