Dr. Wayne Edward Brunell

I absolutely love Dr. Brunell. He has been incredibly helpful. It's great to have someone who does medication management AND therapy. He really treats the whole person and tries to (subjectively) have you quantify your experiences to understand a general trend in how treatment is going.

Should be fired!! Treated my friend with disrespect.

He has been very helpful to me dealing with anxiety. He has been respectful and straightforward throughout my treatment.

Very disrespectful person who shows prejudice towards his patients. He should be fired!!!

Dr. Brunell is one of the most thorough and effective healthcare providers in any discipline I have ever had been to as a patient. The initial evaluation was incredibly comprehensive – his approach of gathering info over three sessions rather than rushing things allowed him to have a lot of evidence behind the recommendations he made. Throughout all our sessions, Dr. Brunell communicated directly, objectively, and empathetically with me about his diagnoses, his reasoning and recommendations for a plan of care, and what to expect going forward as he worked with me. For someone who hadn’t been to a psychiatrist before that, it could at times be a little jarring to be discussing such matters so bluntly with someone, but I think it was exactly what I needed. In hearing him explain his thinking, it was also clear that he has stayed very up to date on research in his field. Every medication or other treatment component he established with me has made a tremendously positive impact on my mental health and wellbeing. At the time I was seeing him I was finishing up studies for a degree of my own in healthcare, and Dr. Brunell demonstrates all the qualities of an excellent provider that we would talk about in our classes. I cannot recommend him highly enough! Dr. Brunell is one of the most thorough and effective healthcare providers in any discipline I have ever had been to as a patient.

This doctor turned away my adult son after doing an intake appt. with him - saying they couldn't have a good doctor-patient relationship. He didn't give him any names of other doctors to try - just told him to look for someone else. My son was in need of medication and it was dangerous and unprofessional of this man to turn him away when he was obviously in crisis. During the appt. he also called me and had me on speaker phone to get a family history, and ask questions about what I've noticed in my son's behavior -- I think that was unprofessional as well, since now my son won't speak to me and I was his main source of emotional support.

He is a very thorough and competent psychiatrist. He did put a lot of thoughts into the selection of my medication and read and reviewed with me all of my past relevant medical records. Frequent check-ins in a year have helped me to adjust medications as needed as circumstances have changed. ...actively manages your mental health and is not just a pill dispenser... pays attention to things like your weight, sleep, nutrition, life's circumstances, and any and all side effects

Yes, he makes you fill out a questionnaire while you wait for your appointment...every appointment. It's tedious when your answers aren't changing anymore. And he makes you go through an epic questionnaire when you start out but I see these things as an attempt to quantify your problems since his main deal is figuring out what medicine to prescribe. And he knows his medicines inside and out. The office itself leaves much to be desired and the secretary seems generally flustered and confused.

Very thorough and sensitive to lgbtq issues. Great guy and really cares about clients.

Look further for your mental healthcare professional. He'll get you medication if thats what you need, but his bedside manner and every other functionality of his office was a nightmare- office was like a shack and unwelcoming, his secretary was aloof, odd and scary. He begged for my money when I hadn't paid an extremely small copay after 2 weeks. I ran out of his office sobbing my eyes out after explaining that I needed to buy food that week, as I was a college student. Look. Further.

Fundamentally flawed approach to treatment. All based on survey questions - might be great for diagnosing 100 people at a time, but on an individual basis it's not effective, and doesn't inspire confidence.

Had a very negative experience with Dr. Brunell, his office and his billing practices. Would not recommend.
