Dr. Bruce William Brient

There will never be another Dr. Brient! My surgery was 09/27/2000 at 7AM. A day I will NEVER forget! He and the staff made me feel comfortable and many years later I was visiting at N FL Regional and he walked up to me and called me by name! He said you look wonderful and have kept your weight off! Dr. Brient was a man before his time and shared a pure heart with his patients. I never complained about the wait because I knew he would give me the same exact attention! He often made...

Healer, mentor, brilliant surgeon, beloved friend....you will live on in the hearts of all you touched during your amazing life. Most importantly in the souls of your children and grandchildren....rest in peace Bruce, you made the world a better place

I thought of Bruce this morning and looked him up only to find his obituary. What a great guy he was, both professionally and personally. I knew him from his biking days and then as his patient. I recall that having my gallbladder removed was my first major surgery and he put me at ease and made me laugh. I wish I had half his energy. The world is a better place for his having been here. May we all ease the paths of others and bring a smile to the journey, as did he.

Dr. Brient was the absolute best. I am better for knowing him.

Bruce was a vibrant and beloved surgeon, not just to his patients, but to all the residents he mentored and he will be greatly missed.

Offering our condolences to the Brient family. Paul... Jamie and I are remembering our days back in high school. Time sure flies! (I can still see your dad showing off and also showing us "how it was done" when teaching us how to slalom ski out on Lake Santa Fe. Fun times! -Pete)

So sad to hear of Dr. Brient's passing. He will be missed.. my sincere sympathy to his family and to his staff

Bruce was a wonderful doctor and a very sweet man. He was always very attentive to my needs as a patient, and I am not sure I will ever have another doctor with whom I have such a comfortable connection. He always joked with me that I chose him because we are "neighbors" since we live not far from one another and even went to the same gym. It seems fitting somehow that with him passing away, the timing lines up perfectly that I will now be moving to a new home farther away. I'll miss my...
