Excellent orthopedic surgeon. No issues with healing. All is well.

Dr Sean Brugman has been very good at Explaining exactly what procedure I needed to have done and was very thorough. Now that I’ve had the surgery to repair the damage to my hand, the follow up appointment was spot on with him Explaining what to do for follow up care. I would definitely recommend him if you’re looking for good hand, doctor surgeon. He definitely knows what he’s doing.

Dr. Brugman is a rockstar. Identified the issue with my shoulder quickly and came up with a non-invasive solution that has allowed me to continue focusing on my athletic goals with almost no interruption.

Can’t recommend enough.

Dr. Brugman was super helpful, got me in for wrist surgery within two weeks of my first appointment after dealing with an injury for over two years. The staff was courteous and professional and I would definitely recommend using him as an orthopedist

Exelente trato

Ruth W.

Went to see Dr Brugman for Dupuytren's contracture. He patiently explained the different options forward including the procedure, recovery, potential benefits, and risks. We decided to go with surgery and scheduled it for after a trip we had planned. The staff were great and even moved the surgery to a location that would be in network for our insurance. The office even helped me figure out the expected costs for anesthesia. Surgery was quick and very successful. Follow up care was included and Dr Brugman listened and offered Occupational Therapy for the scar tissue. Great experience!

Amazing care and really nice people!!

Debe A.

Dr. Brugman is very easy to work with. I felt a little foolish because my issue only involved a finger. But each time I've been to his office, both Dr Brugman and his assistant listened carefully to all my concerns and gave clear answers and treatment plans. He is genuinely interested in helping his patients.
