Dr. Brunz sees many patients each day, yet when he is with you, he makes you feel like you are his only patient. I truly appreciate the way he listens and genuinely hears what you are saying—something not all doctors do. He has a special heart and deep compassion, especially because he understands those of us who live with constant pain and never minimizes it. He is always searching for answers and relief. Dr. Brunz is a true blessing.

From Dr. Brunz Chronic pain can be devastating. While I was in medical training, I had the opportunity to witness the amazing impact that a physician could have on the lives of his patients by helping them reduce their pain. It was this challenging, but rewarding, aspect that led me to the field of pain medicine.
Today, I find it very rewarding working side-by-side with the exceptional team of highly specialized physicians, therapists, nurses, and staff at Orthopedic Institute to achieve the best possible outcomes for our patients.
