    Dr. Bruns is amazing and I would totally recommend him along with his office of workers to any parent looking for a great pediatrician. I have three kids ages 13,17, and 22. My two youngest have been a patient since birth and my son a patient since he was about 5 years old. I wouldn't trust any other Dr to see my children after getting such exceptional care over the years. He is very thorough and you can tell he genuinely cares about his patients and what's best for each of them.
