Very professional experience. He listened to my symptoms and took necessary tests to offer the best solution. He gave me options and didn't push surgery but explained the different approaches I could decide on. I'm very happy with my visit and will probably go back to get the surgery he suggested for a later time.

Doctor was thorough, caring, professional & personable. He improved my condition during the visit and provided PT exercises to reverse the condition long term.

I've been seen twice now by Dr Brugman. Genuinely nice guy. He's helped me substantially with my medical needs really going above and beyond to make sure I understand everything. Update Dr Brugman is still the best. He reviewed all my my treatment and kindly gave next steps supporting me regardless of what I choose.

Dr Brugman is an excellent surgeon and doctor. From my consult, to my surgery, and post op I couldn’t have been happier! I highly recommend Dr Brugman and his team.

Dr. Brugman listened to me and assessed my trigger finger. I was very happy to hear that my trigger finger would only require one or two steroid shots. So glad to have my finger back to functioning well! Thank you!

I really like Sean. He's patient and spends time answering questions. I've seen him for a year or more and, though we both know I'm headed for an arthroscopy, he hasn't pushed or pressured me to do it as long as quarterly cortisone is helping.
