Feedback from Tucson Behavioral health professionals:
Dr. Brunner is one of the best minds Tucson has to offer when it comes to seeing and treating patients as whole persons. An incredibly empathetic. and competent mental health professional, I would describe him as an ethical perfectionist that only takes steps and makes recommendations first and foremost with the well-being of the people and families he serves. His level of competency is the best our community has to offer, and Tucson is thankful for having him as a part of our clinical community.
