“Dr. Brown is a true artist and very concerned with aesthetics when approaching all procedures. I had my ear lobes repaired from big gauges and he has fixed them better than I was born with! They are so cute and perfect now. I would trust him to improve anything I found bothersome about myself!”

“I have had 3 procedures (filler, tummy tuck, and thigh lift) performed by Dr. Bruno, and I have been more than satisfied each time. In fact, I’m in the process of scheduling a breast augmentation. Dr. Bruno is patient, hands-on, easy to talk to, and very responsive. His patient coordinator, Lori, is fantastic. The staff is very friendly and professional.”
