My husband and I have used Dr. Brunner for over a decade. He stopped using her last year when their eye glasses mark up was over $300 and he got the same pair over the internet for $89. Last year when I went to my yearly exam, I was told I had to wear a mask. I informed them that I have asthma and PTSD and because I was out of contact lenses, I had to keep that appointment and was "allowed" to keep my nose out, except when I was near Dr. Brunner. I was outraged and struggled through it. I just confirmed my appointment for this year and asked the receptionist if they still had their ridiculous mask policy. They did. I told them in addition to my other issues, now I have a more serious issue with wearing a mask and REFUSED to wear a mask in the office. I was told if I can get a "doctor's note" they would let me come in. Since my appointment is tomorrow, I am not able to get such a note and told them that the mask thing needs to stop. It's been almost 2 years and covid is now 99.9995% survivable for everyone and we have 4 cures and people have their dna modifying vaccine if they chose to get it. Under HIPPA laws, I don't have to give them ANY information why I cannot comply with a policy. I asked them what difference would it make if my doctor signs a note or I just tell them. I asked if they think I'm lying. I told them I'm done. I'm not going to tolerate this "medical tyranny" any longer. People are fed up with wearing masks. They don't work, and now studies show that they damage your lungs and you are inhaling toxic chemicals from Teflon to formaldehyde. I know Dr. Brunner is morbidly obese. I sympathize with her, but to continue to practice medical tyranny to compensate for her condition is unacceptable. I'm done. read more
