Meet Sandra D.M. Bruno, MD


My goal is to listen to my patients, spend adequate time with them and learn about them as people and not diseases. I want to treat them as though they are my family members. I hope to positively impact their lives with an honest approach to their questions and concerns. I want to speak in a way that is clear and easy to understand. I strive each day to be compassionate and respectful.

Frequently Asked Questions

Doctors who operate in the MDVIP models typically see far fewer patients than traditional primary care doctors. That gives them more time to develop deeper doctor-patient relationships that can lead to better outcomes. They can also offer conveniences that most primary care doctors can’t, including same- and next-day appointments. They’re available after hours for urgent matters. And they have time to focus on prevention. That focus begins with the MDVIP Wellness Program, which patients pay for with their annual membership fee.

Most MDVIP-affiliated primary care practices accept insurance (your physician can tell you whether they accept your specific insurance plan). Your annual fee pays for preventive care medical services that insurance usually doesn’t cover (e.g., advanced diagnostic testing and screenings). Your MDVIP-affiliated physician will continue to bill your insurance and charge copays, co-insurances and deductibles as he or she currently does for other medical services like sick visits.

MDVIP makes wellness and prevention easier by providing your physician with innovative tools and technology. MDVIP supports your physician’s practice and seeks to eliminate barriers to a positive healthcare experience. Your doctor will determine whether and how to incorporate these tools at his/her discretion.

I highly recommend Dr. Bruno and her team, Amy and Krystal, as your choice to oversee your healthcare. There is always the confidence, that if I have a medical problem, need a refill, or even a question(s) concerning my health, they will respond with immediate attention. Amy is usually the first person to take my call, and is always pleasant and helpful as she can be, or will refer my question to the proper channel. Krystal, the NP, will respond as soon as possible, usually within a short period. It is always a pleasure to speak with her. Of course , I have nothing but praises for
Dr. Bruno, she not only has been there for me when I had a brief emergency, but just available for my overall health evaluations. I actually look forward to office visits, because I feel she will give me the best knowledge available for my overall health.

I believe Dr. Sandra Bruno to be one of the best MDVIP physicians. My health is one of my highest priorities in my life. She has always taken time to explain conditions, testing, medications and procedures. I never feel as though she doesn't have have time to listen to my questions and concerns. She is kind, compassionate and professional. And super smart too! I love being her patient.

VIP and Dr, Bruno have been a breathe of fresh air with my personal health care . I highly recommend MD VIP . I have spoken more with Sandra in the last year than probably all the other doctors in my whole life . I can pick up the phone and call with a question and within a reasonable amount of time I have a response .
as you know older folks have more health considerations . I am glad I met these people at this time in my life . Sandra has helped me thru an emergency surgery and a bone marrow biopsy within the last 6 weeks . and she did it well . we are working on a couple of other issues but we will get thru them . and she allows me to have my input , observations , and comments .
older folks should and need to be involved in their health care . find someone that will help you find and treat the source of the problem and not just the symptom . we need to understand what is happening to us and be allowed to be involved . the day of a pat on the butt , renew your prescription , and see you in six months is over . let's treat the source whenever possible . be proactive …. both doctor and patient ….blessings for good health ...... 3.25.25 ......TRUE THEN AND NOW

As we age, we find ourselves having daily discussions with friends/family about changes in our bodily functions, aches, twinges, etc. It does get comical at times but it's an inevitable fact of life. With Dr. Bruno, I am able to discuss everything, including issues not directly related to me. Firstly, she puts me at ease immediately even if I' m feeling terrible. She listens to me (looks me in the eyes) and I know she's already trying to figure out how SHE can help resolve my issues and further, how I help myself with the issues. Referrals, test schedules are ordered timely and follow-ups are a given. Krystal and Amy complete Dr. Bruno's team with professionalism and caring. I love my doctor!

This is taking me far too long to write this post. I wanted to thank Dr. Bruno, Crystal and Aimee for the wonderful care they gave my wife the last several years. My wife went through a debilitating lung disease for many years And Dr. Bruno was always at her side. My wife beat the estimate of how long she would live with this disease by 2 to 3 years at least and I know that Dr. Bruno‘s care was part of it. Even in her last week or two of life, Dr. Bruno was always at the hospital, always holding her hand, always talking to her and joking with her and trying to lift her spirits. Writing this post cannot begin to express how much I appreciated her. I really do thank God for such a caring doctor.

I truly believe that Dr. Bruno has saved my life on several occasions. My lifestyle has not always been the best or even the safest. There’s been a couple times she thought I might need to find a new physician. That was only due to me not following her recommendations. I believe she thought with a new physician I might follow orders better. It had nothing to do with her being fed up with me she was concerned at my life. I will always remind her you save my life now you got me for life.
When I say you can get in touch with her 24 hours a day seven days a week 365 days a year, I mean it. Her staff is just outstanding and very concerned about my well-being. AmyI will make sure she calls 10 times and even call my daughter whenever I’m not answering my phone to make sure I know about my appointments. She will even call my other doctors and set up appointments and they should all go to those. Crystal is always asking how I’m doing concerned about my well-being and doesn’t ever miss the vain when she draws blood.
So much more to say but not knowing the words to use I’ll just say thank y’all for having Dr. Bruno and her staff. MDVIP and Dr Bruno, Crystal and Amy has been a pleasure to know.

Dr. Bruno is a caring and extremely thorough doctor. She has been my personal physician for nearly 20years. She is always available when I have a medical need and I can text her if I have a question after hours. She returns my text within minutes. I have been through cancer treatment and heart valve surgery under her care and she has referred me to the best doctors and facilities for treatment. I appreciate how she always researches the latest information available connecting my medical history and current medical issues. It would not be an exaggeration to say she has literally improved the quality of my life with her personal care. Dr. Bruno is one of a kind and I am her biggest fan!

The finest family physician I've ever seen. She is the best diagnostician anywhere around. She not only monitors her own orders, but she stays on top of all of my specialists, too. If not for her, I would not have made it this long. Dr. Bruno is the best of the best. I consider myself most fortunate to have her as my primary physician. I know I'm in the best clinic around. Dr. Bruno has a topnotch NP, Krystle Diaz. Smart & confident. I trust her explicitly. The receptionist is also friendly, reliable & professional. When you're in their care, you can rest easy knowing you're in great hands. Check out MDVIP. It's worth the cost to be a part of such a fine medical practice.

Hospital Stay

from Barbara in LA • January 7, 2025
Dr Sandra Bruno is the most amazing doctor anyone could have. She is so thorough and thinks things through. I just returned from the hospital and I cannot say enough about how good is
Always on top of things. Doesn't miss a beat. Even came to see me on her day off and on Sunday.
Can't imagine another doctor is good as she is. And her staff is equally attentive.

Best doctor imaginable!

Many years ago when I first met Dr Bruno she was so kind to me and always ready to listen. Forward a few years.. My husband became ill. He was very much determined not to agree with doctors. He had a stroke and I stopped in at her office on the way to the hospital. She immediately said bring him in here. He was a very difficult patient. She was the only one that he would ever listen to.

I’ve been with Dr. Bruno before MDVIP. Almost 25 years. In 2004, I had many unexplained episodes of different symptoms. On a Monday morning in December of 2004, I called the office for an appointment and with Dr. Bruno’s urgency for concern, got me in with her, then to a second opinion doctor within the same week. Although both agreed with the results, we discussed and decided I’d go to MD Read more...
