As a person Dr. Brunson is great. As a doctor im terrified by her. I have dealt with several family members & friends that were her patients. When it comes to life changing illness patients need solutions to problems that will keep from progression for as long as possible or by maintaining. Treatment is not just medicating. Each patient is trusting a doctors advice with their health, possibly their life, & so are their families. With all health clinics the over population of patients can make a physician forget what they set out to accomplish in this field. It's their duty to take time to seek the best diagnosis, treatment, & beneficial future treatments, to either solve or sustain so that their patients can go on in life as best as possible. Brunson has never failed in any of the multiple friends or family members situations to fall short or in my opinion drop the ball.

I could not give Dr. Brunson the very highest score because she is difficult to get in to see in case of actual illness. I cannot give the staff the highest score because they once gave me the incorrect appointment time of 11:30 a.m. when I called to verify the time. When I showed up at 11:32 I was told that my appointment was at 11:15 and "You will have to reschedule." When I got my records it stated I was listed as a 'no show' for that day. This was very irritating. I did give a '4' rating as Dr. Brunson's diagnostic skill and treatment intervention is above normal once you get in to see her. Her nurse always responds to a call in for medication or advice, etc.

I was one of Dr. Brunson's first patients at Brian Clinic and have never been disappointed. She is very detailed and listens/thinks before making sugg/rec/diag. She went above and beyond her duties more than once for me and my family. I would recommend Dr. Brunson to anybody who needed a doctor.

Took plenty of time during visit. Explained why I needed MRI with possible outcomes. Ordered MRI timely (next day). Personally called with results the following day with an appropriate referral.

This woman is a catastrophe. She prescribes meds without saying what they are or why (lets the nurse stumble through it instead); doesn't order tests that are crucial (no liver tests for patients on Lipitor); takes **** samples, but leaves them sitting uncovered on the sink and never has them sent to the lab; allows techs to take blood without swabbing with alcohol (tech useD tap water instead, saying, 'water works too!'). ADVICE: STAY AWAY!!!
