Accepting new patients
I have been a part of the Kansas City Bone & Joint team since 1988. I am board certified in Orthopedic Surgery and have an interest in sports medicine. In addition to doing arthroscopic knee and shoulder surgery, I also perform many anterior approach total hip replacements and total knee replacements. These past twenty-five years have allowed me to be affiliated with several sports teams including St. Thomas Aquinas High School, Shawnee Mission East and Shawnee Mission South high schools. I was also the orthopaedic surgeon for the Kansas City Ballet from 1996 through 2007. I earned my undergraduate degree at Kansas State University and graduated from medical school at the University of Kansas, School of Medicine. I completed my residency at KU in orthopaedic surgery and then went on for my fellowship at the University of Pennsylvania, specializing in Sports Medicine. Keeping current with medical advancements is important; therefore, I am a member of(AAOS) American Association of Orthopaedic Surgeons. I have had the honor of participating in Operation Walk USA for the past few years. I love orthopedics because I can interact with a wide variety of people and use my hands to improve their quality of life. Outside of the office, I enjoy traveling and photography.

Kansas City, KS | Aug 30, 2017
Less than impressed. The staff at KC Bone and Health is very friendly and courteous. However I can not say the same thing about Dr. Bruce., after waiting over an hour to be seen, he was curt . I am not sure if he wasn't listening or just didn't care..

Dr Bruce literally performed a miracle with me when I had a total knee arthroplasty in July of 2015. My knee was shot, completely ruined by my inability to have the surgery done sooner than I did. He told. Me my knee was one of the worst he had ever treated. I love this man. He gave me back my life.

I thougth I was making an appointment with him, but saw his assistant. I never talked to him before my surgery, until just a few minutes before hand. When I asked him specifically what he planned to do, he laughed at me and said, "repair your knee, of course"! After surgery, I never saw him again. I thought I was making my followup with him, and again, saw his assistant, who could not talk to me about the specifics of my surgery. She didn't seem to have access to the information.

Dr. Bruce is a phenomenal physician. Great surgical skill, straightforward communication, excellent demeanor. He made certain my knee issues, which were considerable and protracted, were resolved.
