Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

DO NOT GO TO THIS SO CALLED DOCTOR
Never diagnosed a simple ear infection. Would make you come in every three months and do nothing. Just to make money for himself. I had already read my blood work online from quest, and I was out of the normal range in a couple of areas. When I went into him, he read the same bloodwork and said everything was fine. Jekyl and Hyde personality. Soft spoken, then I could here him yell at his young staff. Fake pretend Doctor. I liked that you only had to wait in his office to see him, like 5 minutes. Then I realized he just gets as many people in and out as possible. Did nothing for me. HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE!!!!!!!

Worst doctor I've ever had in my life. Doesn't listen, very dismissive. Charged me a phone visit for a basic med refill.

Avoid this doctor
Telehealth
Dr. DeBruin is rude and incompetent. He pushed my brother into hospice when my brother needed back surgery. His office refused to help with any follow up therapy at home or medical equipment. His phone manner can start out polite but quickly changes to rude within about 90 seconds. Avoid this doctor.

Foot Care
I have been a patient of Dr. DeBruin for many years, I wanted to tell everyone about a new service he is offering to his patients that struggle with Neuropathy, Diabetes, & anything else that may cause foot aches & pain. Once a month you are able to make an appointment to go in & have your feet cared for under Dr. DeBruin's supervision with his qualified & professional foot specialist Misty Lee at his Foot Clinic. I had my done today & loved every bit of the 40 minutes spent on me! You should try it out for yourself, you will love it too!

Wonderful Experience!
Yesterday was my first appt. with Dr. DeBruin. Let me start by giving a shout out to his wonderful staff. They work as a well oiled machine. Each with their individual responsibilities, but working as a team. Dr. DeBruin was very cordial, listened to my concerns and then stated what his suggested treatment would be based on his many years of experience. Let me finish by saying, Dr. DeBruin is not a touchy-feely, hold your hand type of doctor. What he is, is a physician that takes his education and oath very seriously and will tell you straight up what he feels your best form of treatment will be. Yes, if you have questions or concerns he will take the time necessary to cover those. But, I can tell you that I have seen a lot of physicians over my life and I would much rather have a doctor that shoots from the hip and doesn't sugar coat my condition, then one that waste's my time with sub-standard care.

The worst doctor I have ever been too. Arrogant, zero bedside manner, and he does not listen to what you tell him. It is evident he does not care. All he wants is you to come back for unnecessary visits. And he is old school having thousands of paper files in his office. He does not believe in technology that has made significant advancements for improving healthcare.

Awful - have an issue with my ankle and knee. Dr. DeBruin never even looked at my ankle nor my knee. Simply sent me for xrays and told me to do some squats (exercise). Waiting for another week to obtain findings from xrays and possible physical therapy. I requested a referral to my orthopedic surgeon who did my knee replacement surgery...which was denied. Unbelievable!!! He is only after the almighty dollar and not the needs of his patients. Very sad state of affairs. Do not waste your time seeing him.

My husband is a new patient at this place and it has been crazy trying to get this office to send him to a specialist. He has been getting the run around between this office and the specialist office as to how his situation is urgent or not. He has been dealing with a severe ear ache for a long time now, which has caused him several symptoms including dizziness. My husband climbs trees and clearing trees from power lines!!! So, my husbands job is dangerous as it is and adding equilibrium issues, let's say in lame terms "NOT GOOD AT ALL"! I am seriously ranting inside with all the run around he has been receiving from this office and the referral sent to a specialist. He has been trying to call himself, and trying to climb trees at the same time while under the condition he is in!! He needs to be seen right away, but since this office failed to tell the specialist this is urgent and other failures on this offices part, my husband isn't any closer to being seen!! WIFE NOT HAPPY!!

It's hard to believe how many 1 star reviews this place has, ITS A HEALTH PROFESSIONAL! Or should I say unprofessional. I went here since I was a kid and never really made the effort to escape this terrible place. Now that I'm much older I'm starting to realize my health is too important to trust Dr debruin.

Like most men, bit reluctant to see a doctor, in fact went a number of years without a primary care physician. That said, can't say enough about Dr. DeBruin and his staff who are always kind and courteous. I especially appreciate his thoroughness and efficiency both in medicine and in business. If you have an appointment at 9:15, you get seen at 9:15. Cheers to Dr. DeBruin and his staff in the new year, here's to a healthy and happy 2019!

not good..never good, the best thing I can say, he does get you in fast for very simple stuff to treat like colds. But when you have significant legitimate questions or concerns about your health, and he is your only Primary Care Physician, forget it! He does not listen, and just wants you to keep coming back every 2 weeks, cause HE is too busy. We have many "not good" stories, so I must leave at that. We have gotten another Great PCP, that listens and actually treats us properly.

Dr Debruin has been my primary physician since I relocated from the Bay Area back in the 90's. The Dr and his team have been consistently outstanding in all aspects. They know and greet me by name. My appointments are easily scheduled, and when I show up I'm seen promptly. Discussions on health topics are made easy by the professional and personable staff. Insurance issues are a non-issue. And the flexibility with appointments or other issues is always there. I've changed employers severa

Dr. Mark Debruin provides the time necessary to address my concerns. At times that means he is in and out in two minutes. However, when I express a concern, he takes the time to listen, ask me questions ultimately develop a diagnosis and provide the treatment necessary to ensure recovery. Concerning the staff, from the front desk, to the nurses and nursing assistants I find each and every one of them to be courteous, professional, and make my visit as comfortable.

Dr. DeBruin and his staff are always amazing. I have been going here regularly for over 5 years now. As a DO he goes above and beyond the treatment I’ve had from other providers. Having X-rays, antibiotics, and even joint/spinal adjustments performed in house is phenomenal. I’ve even brought my kids in with illness and injuries and love the way they were tended to by him and his staff.
