The doctor gave me his number when we moved to town and he learned that our little girl had cancer and we knew it would be a "when" not an "if" we needed to put her down as an act of kindness. Later when we brought her in for her final visit he was so kind and seemed to hurt with us. Such a gentle guy in a painful moment. We love the staff and are happy to bring our dogs to Bruechner.

Great place for our little dog Gwen to get the care she needs! Very kind and gentle and reasonably priced for good care. 💗

Very nice Vet. Very knowledgeable. All the ladies in the office are great, also. He took good care of my pets. I didn't have to wait very long, practically seen right away. New to the area so I'm so happy that I have found this office. They are cat lovers, which is so wonderful ! I liked seeing the cats in the lobby so well behaved and walking around.

As far as I can tell this office has no interest in caring for elderly animals that need anything beyond basic vaccinations. The vet showed up half an hour late to the appointment. That's fine, things happen, but the second the vet found out my dog had mobility issues (not the reason for being there at all) he seemed to lose all interest in helping him, and he and almost his entire staff were very judgmental about it. For a respiratory issue he spent maybe ten seconds listening to the lungs, definitively declared that it was one of two serious issues and suggested an x-ray. Prior to performing any other kind of tests, he asked how old my dog was, and after finding out that he was old for his breed the vet promptly stopped suggesting any care or tests and went straight to putting him down, in spite of the fact that the dog is not indicating any pain, he eats and drinks well, and is alert. Not that this vet would know any of that, he didn't bother asking, and didn't spend enough time with him to figure it out for himself. Google forces me to leave a full star. The actual review is half a star, earned by the one staff member who actually seemed to consider my dog a living being.

We came from the Dallas area and we had a good vet there, but Dr. Bruechner is wonderful. Let start with the front desk. Barbara is FANTASTIC. She has always been so helpful when we go in and always set up whatever we need. The staff is awesome! They are all so friendly and wonderful people. I would not want another vet as long as we have our dogs. We rescued some dogs and he helped get them vaccinated and ready to adopt and on top of that he only charged us for the one puppy we were going to keep. AWESOME PLACE.
