So Grateful for Dr. Brucker and Staff for Restoring my Confidence.
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

Dr Brucker is the Best, 100% Fully Recommend Him to Everyone!
I am 2 weeks post op from a breast lift. And so far I couldn’t be happier with the results. Dr Brucker, Tricia, Jen his nurse, Ramon the anesthesiologist and the front desk ladies are all fantastic. My first appt was virtual and I immediately knew Dr Brucker was the right choice. I scheduled my surgery before I even met him in person because I was very confident he was the one. He is friendly, honest and professional. He has exceeded my expectations so far and I’m only 2 weeks

Post Op - I’m am so happy with my results
I’m am so happy with my results. I kept looking for females in my size to get an idea of how many cc’s i should go for but didn’t find many. Most are way smaller then me. 415cc under muscle silicone HP
Extremely Happy with my Results
I went to Dr. Brucker in September of 2020 for a breast implant exchange. I wanted a more natural appearance now that I’m older. Since this was in the middle of the Covid pandemic, things were a little different. My first appointment was a virtual one. Even virtually, Dr. Brucker and his staff made me feel very comfortable. All of my questions were answered and I booked my surgery at my second appointment. It’s been about six months since my breast lift and breast implant exchange

Absolutely Wonderful Experience!
Dr. Brucker, Jen, the anesthesiologist and his whole team were so amazing! Everyone through my whole surgery process has been a 10! Warm, friendly, easy to connect with, very detailed and informative, really takes time with you, great bedside manner and is truthful. Hands down the best plastic surgery office I’ve been too. They really pull out all the stops to make you feel comfortable and confident, even right before surgery. I had my diastasis and hernia repaired, tummy tuck
I got a very natural look and am still extremely happy
I saw Dr Brucker for a ‘mini’ lift about 2 years ago. He did an amazing job. I like his conservative approach. I got a very natural look and am still extremely happy with my results. My scars are non-existent. Dr Brucker has an amazing bedside manner and is very honest. I had also asked him about doing a procedure under my eyes and he was upfront that he didn’t think I needed it done. I appreciate that honesty from a doctor! It’s rare! I definitely recommend going to see Dr Brucker.

Amazing Doctor and Results
I met with five different surgeons before deciding to go with Dr. Brucker. I was obviously looking for a few key things and found them here. My implants ruptured and I needed to get them replaced (along with a lift). I also decided to take care of my hooded eyelids, which I've disliked for years. I had a tough time finding a doctor skilled at both. I also wanted an in-house surgical center (costs less) and a doctor that was on the same page with my wishes. I felt so strongly that
