I was referred to him for a cosmetic procedure, by a friend. I was excited because this particular procedure was a lot more expensive at the dermatologist I usually see. I was warned, however, that he would tell me what was wrong with my face, unsolicitedly. I was not prepared for the following:
The waiting room is very nice, the front desk person is kind, t.v., magazines, and I'm thinking great, very professional and comfortable.
I'm led back to the patients rooms and I'm like what the hell year IS this? Everything out of date, looks like a set up for med school experiments.
As we discussed the procedure, I was asking questions and becoming concerned that he wanted to make an injection so very close to my eye socket, something that my dermatologist would never do- very risky in my opinion, and I read up a LOT and study a lot of articles pertaining to this particular method.
Upon inspection of my face, he tells me my face is hollow and I need cheek implants. I about died and I wish I would have left right then and there. I have a very full face and am constantly complimented on my cheekbones. He tells me I need the implants to push the skin up and out from under my eyes. What the hell. He also told me I had a fat pocket under my right eye that needed to be removed. I'm like, I am tired and a little dehydrated maybe?? He got really testy with me when I voiced my concerns and looked at me like I was making him uncomfortable so he felt the need to go further. As a test, I thought I would keep calm and ask him what he thought about my lips. Sure enough, my top lip was all wrong and the upper fold was weak, and I needed filler in my top lip and under my nose. Again, what the hell.
I kept thinking how great my friend's skin looked, so I decided well, he MUST know what he is doing, so I continued with the procedure. He decided to do 10 units less of the injection and I am glad he did because what I have been left with now, is a right eye so entirely bruised I look like someone hit me. I did not go close to the eye like he wanted, so at least I was right to be concerned. Never in the 2 1/2 years doing this, have I ever bruised from this until now. I woke up yesterday, 4 days post procedure, with a bloody bag under my eye, and my entire right eye covered in bruises, and both eyes are looking MUCH worse- wrinkly, crepey, baggy, and just overall hideous. I read up on this and it is due to misplacement of the needle- too low or too deep, and too much product. This will loosen the skin even more if done improperly such as this. Now I get to wait weeks and weeks and hope it subsides and goes away. Not to mention when he was doing it, he had to stop mid way and leave the room to get more, like he wasn't even prepared, and when he was finished it was like ok, I'm done, good bye.
Ladies, PLEASE do not go here for any cosmetic facial treatments. It may be less expensive than a skilled and medically trained dermatologist, but you get what you pay for. No mention of any follow up with me, or call if you have an concerns or questions, just did it and done.
I will NOT be going back here again, ever.

Needed an extraction that I finally went to a different oral surgen and was in and out in 50 mintues!
Dr. Brunsoman first required a consultation that they only do 2 or 3 afternoons per week delatying my care by almost a week. The "consultation" was more of a sales pitch and took nearly 90 minutes!!
They never did get back to me regarding insurance, finally the infection got so bad my dentist sent me to a different oral surgeon who got me in the same day, and I was in and out in less than 50 mintues.
Just about the worst dental experience I've ever had.

Do not go here! Worse dental experience ever! Dr. Brunsoman has horrible communication skills, rude to his staff very fought with patients during surgery. Had complications with everything he did. Also got an infection from the surgery and the nurses never returned my phone call! Do not go here!

Dr. Brunsoman does wonderful work, however, if you want to ask questions about anything be prepare for rude and snide comments from him. I have never in my life been treated so poorly by someone who calls themselves a professional. He was more worried about being finished with my treatment then doing it right. If i didnt already have so much invested into my procedures I would NEVER return! I use to recommend him to everyone however, I will now turn people away from him due to his table side mannor!

I had my wisdom tooth out when I was 17 yrs. old. When I went for my consult, the assistant didn't know her right from her left on the panoramic x-ray ( even though it's labeled) and the office didn't have me down for the surgery the next day at 9am. Instead, they said I could come in at 7am and they would fit me in. I went back for my one week evaluation and Dr. Brunsoman asked if I'd been using the suringe they had given me to keep the area clean. I said that you never gave me one. Dr. Brunsoman "cleaned" out the area and said I was ready to go. Later that afternoon, my cheek got swollen and I was in extreme pain. I called the dentist and he perscribed an antibiotic. I was up all night in pain and I would never go back there again because he also does plastic surgery and apparently my wisdom tooth was nothing compared to what he could have been doing at that time. I later realized that when they "cleaned" out the socket, they actually dislodged the clot and gave me a dry socket.
