Dr. Robert Brueck, M.D.

Dr. Brueck - Background
Dr. “Bob” Robert Brueck co-owns Emerald Medical (with Dr. Don Ketterhagen) and serves as our principal licensed medical marijuana physician in our Fort Myers office on Gladiolus Drive. He sees patients on Thursdays and Fridays.
Dr. Bob has been practicing in Fort Myers for 40 years and is well known in Southwest Florida as one of its top cosmetic surgeons. He graduated from the University of Illinois Medical School and trained as a cosmetic surgeon at the University of Miami (Fla.). When medical marijuana was legalized in 2016, he was amazed at the benefits reported by his patients with qualifying conditions.
We caught up with Dr. Bob between appointments:
“When Florida passed Amendment 2 in 2016 legalizing medical marijuana, I started having so many patients tell me about how medical marijuana had totally transformed their lives. I learned that the plant has 100 different chemical compounds that can be used to treat a whole spectrum of human diseases and in many case with astounding results. One patient had severe peripheral neuropathy to the point the pain was so bad there were days when walking was too painful.
We placed her on medical marijuana and she came back about seven weeks later with tears in her eyes saying she could walk again without pain. A young mother with three kids suffered from severe disabling migraines. Now she carries a vape pen to help control her disabling migraines. It is remarkable that one plant can be used to painful symptoms of fibromyalgia, ALS, Parkinson’s disease, glaucoma etc. As it becomes more mainstream we will begin to see more medical studies validating it as a breakthrough medical therapy.”
