Dr. Shawn Brunk, DO

My husband went in for his annual exam, in early May 2024 during that exam the NP Nicky, (unsure of spelling) Decided that he needed to have a Cancer Screening. Mentioning some spots on his throat.Obviously whenever a doctor mentions CANCER both the patient and their family’s nerves are put on edge. And that was certainly the case with us. We were scheduled nearly two weeks out for the test, but we tried to remain calm. Finally on the morning of May 20th we went to Barnes St. Peters Hospital had the CT scan and waited to hear back. By Friday, (before the Memorial Day weekend) I called the Dr’s office and asked.They said they never received the results, I asked what do you do in that case?, and was told “ I guess you could call them “ Which if found to be unprofessional and highly apathetic. However, it was clear if I wanted to get the results I would have to do that. So I called the hospital , they found the records, and sent them again to the Dr. Office. I waited about

Dr. Brunk discovered a serious issue I was having during a routine physical and quickly moved me along for proper care. Ultimately it saved my life. THANK YOU!

Shawn always seems annoyed by my presence. He focuses on one health issue I have regardless of what I come in for. Before covid he really seemed to care and listen but now he’s rushed and pushes meds. Currently looking for a new Pcp.

I have been a patient of Dr Brunk and Chris Turnbough for 20+ years. They are both excellent! If someone doesn’t like Dr Brunk, my guess is because they didn’t not want to listen to his recommendations to live a healthy lifestyle.! His office staff are helpful and he offers online appointments. Getting an appointment is easy and never a long wait.

Dr Brunk's office refused to fill a long-time prescription for 10 mg of Lisinopril (hi-blood pressure med) untill i made an appt, in the middle of a covid pandemic. Why must I be forced to choose between possible catching covid or getting my medication?

my visits have been very good

The only reason I still go to family medical group is because the nurse practitioner Chris Turnbough is amazing. I don’t like Dr. Brunk, he’s arrogant and condescending. If it weren’t for Chris I’d have gone ride where.

I have been with Dr. Brunk for 2 years now. He actually sits down and listens. He is a wonderful, very knowledgeable Dr. and always makes time for me. The staff is awesome. My family loves him and we will recommend him every time

I have seen Dr Brunk for several years now. I love the fact that when I have an appointment I never feel rushed and all of my concerns are addressed before I leave.

I was scheduled as a new patient today and they refused me. I waited 2.5 weeks for this appointment and it’s very important because I’m almost out of my prescribed daily medication that if I just stop taking can put me in the hospital. The lady at the front desk was extremely rude and smirked as she told me I shouldn’t have been late. The only reason I was coming to this doctor anyways is because my husband WAS a patient of Brunk’s ..no longer.

Mean, arrogant, rude, unwilling to explain anything to a patient because we aren't smart enough to understand.

Wouldn’t send my worst enemy to him.

Dr. Brunk really listens. He takes a lot of time with me explaining everything and answering all of my questions. He is patient, kind, and knowledgeable.

HORRIBLE. I went in b/c I was having some black spotting in my vision. I had recently been sick so I assumed it was a sinus infection pressing on my optic nerve. Dr. Brunk looked me up and down for a whole 10 min then immediately suggested I go get an MRI. Said he was unsure of my diagnosis and just to be safe, after I repeatably told him of the drainage I was still experiencing down my throat. 3 doc app & 1 MRI later...cronic sinutis. Still no script or advice 5 days & 3 phone calls later. UGH!

I would not recommend Dr Brunk to anyone! I'm still furious over my appointment this afternoon! I've had a barking-like cough for 2 days before I had seen him of which was never even addressed. The nurse there seemed more concerned with how I was feeling than my own dr! I try to talk to him of how my Vyvanse meds are not working, and he begins to disagree with my ADHD diagnosis. I paid $60 copay for nothing! I got no prescription written for my ADHD meds or anything for my throat. Unacceptable!!
