Hands down the best healthcare I've ever received in my entire life! As a single mother and young student, I don't have a huge budget but was determined to get the most holistic dental work possible. The team worked attentively with me and my needs, prioritizing the care that was most urgent and then offering multiple financing options. They also offer resources for patients to learn more about biological dentistry and whole-body health and are willing to answer any questions I have had (and I've had a lot, from advice on loans and credit to diet and mouth physiology)! The passion for their work is plainly evident. Everyone at the office is extremely kind and approachable. It feels like walking into a room full of friends rather than the distant and impersonal experience that many of us have in standard healthcare. They are busy, so expect a steep fine if you miss an appointment (that time slot could otherwise be used for someone else in need), but with clear and timely communication you will be in good relationship with your healthcare team, as well as everyone else in your life. Highly recommend!

Dr Bruno is the most knowledgeable Dentist I've met. She's supportive, informative and truly wanted the best for my complex situation. Goes above and beyond. If your teeth and your health are important, I can't recommend enough.

I switched to Bruno Integrative Dentistry about a year ago & I love it. I feel like the team works together great & Dr. Bruno is a badass in her field. You can tell how passionate she is & how committed she is to learning more & more about her field. Every time I go, I have tons of questions & they are all so open to guiding me through the entire process. They’ve given me 2 cleanings, removed my mercury fillings & replaced my crown. Love their approach!
