I came to Dr. Brucker after I was very unhappy and insecure about a past breast augmentation. Let me first start out by saying, I don’t particularly like or trust many doctors after having many poor experiences with them. So I was really nervous to take another risk. He listened to my concerns, voiced his opinions and gave me breasts I actually love. His bedside manners are fantastic, I enjoy talking to him and feel heard. His skill level was SO far better than my previous troll of a surgeon. He does internal stitches that you don’t see, so there are no scars where the holes are from the stitches. I got the shape and size I wanted. While under I also opted for some light lipo on the abdomen, from a past experience trying out cool sculpting (don’t do that), I had scar tissue on my abs! So after surgery, when I healed, I had pretty significant “bumps”. Dr. Bruckner has gone above and beyond and has me come in like 6 more times to do one more pass of lipo free of charge, to try to fix that area as much as possible, and when it became clear that it was scar tissue that wasn’t budging, he’s done teeny tiny shots of steroids to break it down and it completely worked. All at no more cost! He was so focused on having me feel good about my body. Very much appreciated and I have told everyone I know if they are considering any plastic surgery to please come here.

I recently had a “mommy makeover” with Dr. Brucker which consisted of a tummy tuck, liposuction to the flanks, back, and outer thighs, as well as a breast reduction and lift. With two toddlers at home, I was hesitant to make the leap and have the surgery, but instantly upon meeting Dr. Brucker for my consult, I knew he was the right surgeon for me. He is kind, patient, and knowledgeable and you can tell he and his entire team- Nurse Jen, Tricia and Daniela who helped coordinate everything for me from start to finish and patiently answered all my questions, and the CRNA Christine- truly care about their patients. Beyond all of that, the results of my procedures are nothing short of amazing. I still have plenty of healing to do, but my incisions are healing beautifully and the results are honestly more than I could have hoped for. I will definitely be recommending Dr Brucker and his team to all my friends and family. He is really one of a kind in this field and I will be forever grateful to him for helping restore my confidence in my body.

I met with Dr. Brucker two times to discuss my upcoming cosmetic surgery. I had some questions after our first visit and he was patient and informative in the second putting my concerns at rest. However, the result was totally underwhelming and I did not look any different than before the surgery. Dr. Brucker is a nice person but he is way too conservative. I spent almost $20K for nothing. If you actually want to have a definite improvement after surgery, do not go to Dr. Brucker.

I couldn't be more happy with my results!!! I interviewed eight different surgeons before I finally made the decision to move forward with my procedure. I had a breast reduction, lift and a tummy tuck. I am 8 weeks post surgery and I am thrilled with everything from start to finish! Dr. Brucker is amazing along with his entire team. Nurse Jen was the best and was so helpful with all my questions, a true professional! I felt very comfortable with Dr. Brucker he took the time to explain everything and he answered all my questions without rushing me. He was informative in his communication as to what I could expect my results to be and the recovery process of the surgery. I felt well taken care of by everyone, Dr. Brucker, Nurse Jen, Tricia(office Manager) the anesthesiologists and the entire office staff. I highly recommend this team for your cosmetic needs.

I met with 3 other doctors before I met Dr. Brucker. A friend recommended Dr. Brucker to me and I am so thankful! My implants were 33 years old and had ruptured. One doctor told me he would remove my implants and I would have to wait at least 6 months to know if I could have them replaced. I was a wreck! Dr. Brucker calmed me down and took his time explaining everything about the procedure. Dr. Brucker and his staff are extremely knowledgeable and very kind. It’s been a week since my surgery, and I am SO happy with the results. Dr. Brucker is professional, friendly and his nurse Jenn is amazing! His staff was patient with me and everyone made me feel comfortable from start to the finished perfect results! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
