Effective February 15, 2025: We will no longer call to confirm patient appointments. Patients will continue to receive both an email and a text message to confirm the appointment and complete the required check-in. If your appointment is not confirmed and check-in has not been completed prior to arriving for your appointment, your appointment may be rescheduled in accordance with our No-Show/Same Day Cancellation policy.
Effective January 1, 2025, we will no longer be in-network with Aetna Medicare Advantage. Patients still have an option to change to another in-network Medicare Advantage plan offered by other payers to avoid any disruption in their care or return to traditional Medicare between Jan. 1 and March 31, 2025. .

Denise Bruckerhoff, D.O.
​
​
Dr. Denise Bruckerhoff is a Doctor of Osteopathy. She graduated with honors from Kansas City University of Medicine & Biosciences College of Osteopathic Medicine in 2006. While in her final year of medical school, she trained in a different city virtually every month. These experiences were extremely beneficial and were instrumental in shaping her style of practice.
Dr. Bruckerhoff loves working with people throughout different stages of their lives, caring for others and helping them live a healthy, quality life by providing compassionate and comprehensive healthcare. Providing valuable care and tools for patients to continue to see healthy results is extremely important to her.
In addition to her medical training, Dr. Bruckerhoff spent approximately eight years managing the care of patients in various settings. Her experiences have included acute care hospital, long-term acute care hospital, acute rehabilitation, nursing home, hospice, independent living, assisted living, and home healthcare. This intensive exposure helped her to create a multi-level approach to patient care. She understands that all individuals are not created equal, and she is committed to providing the highest quality of care to her patients.
In her spare time, she enjoys spending time with her family, friends, exercising, sports, traveling, and cooking. She is an avid University of Kansas Jayhawks fan.

Important Information: Lab Charges are billed separately from your office visit. You will receive a statement from our partner lab, depending on the test(s) ordered. Co-pays or coinsurance are applied to the lab that provides testing services, according to the terms of your specific insurance coverage. It is your responsibility to make sure that your insurance is in-network prior to lab draw. If your insurance is not in network please inform the doctor or the phlebotomist. You will need to take a print out of the lab order with you to the facility that is in your network in order to avoid being billed directly from our lab.
​
If you have any questions about your lab bill, please call the number listed on your statement. For questions about co-pay or coinsurance, please contact your insurance provider.
