I treat patients the same way I would want my family treated—getting to know them, earning their trust and helping them make informed decisions that reflect their values and needs.

Dr. Brockstein has been taken care of me for years. He has been very influential in keeping me with the willl not to give up.He has turned into a friend I can count on and giving me the best advise available.

Bruce Brockstein, MD is ideal. He covers everything thoroughly and explains the results to me and discusses next steps. He even sent me a text after my scan letting me know it looked great. He also asks if I have any other health questions, not limiting me to just the test results. His assistants are also great. Perhaps he's the best doctor ever.

Dr. Brockstein displays a genuine care and concern about my condition. He is thorough in his examinations and carefully reviews lab and other test reports.When he meets with me, he focuses on relevant information and prioritizes steps in the planning of my care. I have been under his care for several years now, and I feel confident in his understanding and approach to my treatment.

Dr Brockstein was a few minutes late, and I suspected because he took his time with patients before me, listened to them, answered all their questions and was confident and competent..I was 1000% correct and a free my visit was happy he was a few minutes behind Cancer doesn't discriminate and the news and protocol can be overwhelming, Dr Brocksrein and team seemed to understand that and it showed.
