_I want my patients to participate in their health care. I try to explain the diagnosis and treatment options in a way that patients can understand so we can formulate a treatment plan together. Nothing gives me more satisfaction than helping my patients regain their function so they can return to the activities they enjoy and improve their quality of life._ - Michael Breunig, DO

The man was nice extremely well the doctor said I say. Off the chain as we say in the neighborhood.. he was very professional then make you feel like he was in a rush. Pleasant smile love golfing... Also helpful and recommending a new specialist and the procedure on what would it take to get my knee back in order which I really appreciate it about him. I highly recommend that you guys keep him on your staffing it should be more doctors like him and he's pleasant smiles it makes you feel comfortable all around good guy I don't know him personally but I can only imagine his colleagues like him . His charisma is very nice I think his colleagues to learn something from him thank you have a good day

Dr Breunig offered services and his talents to evaluate my situation, recommending treatment that seemed fair and balanced, he provided a feeling of comfort and he certainly maintained a high quality professionalism throughout my visit. His recommendations for my care at this present time I feel we're spot on and he took time to understand where I came from as a patient to him, this is something rarely seen. He has a great bedside manner, and talks with a person from their level and above.
