Cleeremans Bruce, MD

STAY AWAY!!!
Wish I could give this so-​called doctor a zero star! Bruce Cleereman doesn’t give a **** about his patients and is only out to prescribe the most expensive medications out there so that he gets incentives and money from pharmaceutical companies. I thought he actually cared in the beginning since i was given a 4 week supply of a medication that you absolutely cannot stop taking. Went to get my next month filled and was told it was $ 127. I thought wow insurance must not have covered it but the pharmacist said «no they covered $ 570 of it». So this «doctor» or whatever you want to call him is only out to get your money and keep you on expensive medication you can’t just get off of.
Also, the receptionist is a straight B! SOOOO unfriendly and rude and thinks she is always right about everything. I got a call from Bruce, Don’t even want to called him a doctor, and wrote down everything he told me about getting onto this expensive drug and start taking less of my other but when my mom picked the new one, since I can’t drive, this office lady told her something completely different than Bruce did and told my mom that I was completely wrong and I should listen to the doctor better. She also highlighted the notes and underlined them and said «I have been doing this for 25 years I know what I’m talking about» So i called the doctor and asked him if my notes were correct and he said «Yes, that is exactly right» so apparently this fat B**** who thinks she knows it all was actually 100% wrong.
–Doctor never followed up with me.
–Spent little to no time with me to get a proper diagnosis.
–Mono-​tone and doesn’t care about your life and just wants money.
PLEASE NEVER GO TO THIS DOCTOR! I never write reviews online but this put me over the edge and had to in order to help someone stay away from this heartless human.
RECOMMENDATION: UCI neurologists are absolutely amazing who want to get to the root cause instead of just giving you pills. Love my new doctor!
*new doctor didn’t even carry the expensive drug and doesn’t recommend it.

Went to Dr. Cleeremans for migraines. The front staff was friendly. He saw me at the time of my appointment (not late). I felt like he took his time both understanding me and my migraines as well as explaining what is likely causing them and my treatment options. He also seemed genuinely interested to hear back in a week or two how things are going. This was such a relief as I went to a different neurologist (Dr. Kyung Park in Beach Blvd) and he was totally unhelpful. So glad I didn’t give up on neurologists all together and went to Dr. Cleeremans!
I will caution, however, that it is very rare that someone answers the phone (even during office hours) or calls back in a timely manner.
