Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Awful Diagnosis
Dr Buatti had told me a spot under my eye wasn't skin cancer. (I had been seeing him for skin cancer checks). I went to a different dermatologist the next year for my yearly check, & it was, indeed skin cancer. Since it had been there so long, due to his not diagnosing it correctly, it had grown & was now into my eyelid also. Needless to say it was a much more painful procedure due to his carelessness. I would never, ever, recommend him for skin cancer treatment & diagnosis.

He just wants you to go to MedCenter pharmacy
took 2 min to look at my skin, All he wants to give me MedCenter Pharmacy brochure to buy medicine from them. When I said I prefer to go to my own pharmacy he wasn't happy and told me this pharmacy will deliver the medicine and this might not cover by your insurance with your prefer pharmacy. i got hard time to get it from Meijer and to get hold with him. Why he insist to use this pharmacy and gave me hard time with getting the right medicine ?All about money and business not about your health.

He Does Not Care
Dr. Buatti is not a good dermatologist. Both my husband and I have seen him separately and this guy could not have cared less about why we were there or actually doing a thorough exam. I had previously seen the PA on staff (she was wonderful), but she was booked solid for weeks out, so I looked at availability for Buatti--he had lots of availability--I guess that should have been my first clue. I went in for an annual skin cancer screening and to have him look at my peri-oral dermatitis. He literally took sub-5 seconds to do my body scan and didn't actually closely examine my dermatitis. He actually prescribed Hydrocortisone 2.5 for my perioral dermatitis--which is outlined by the NIH and the American Academy of Dermatology as a major no-no, as corticosteroids make the condition worse. (I didn't know this until I started looking more into the condition and stopping usage of the prescription because it was causing major irritation and made the already horrible condition worse).

Each appointment we had to wait nearly an hour with no apology nor a warning they were running late. Loud, annoying news program on in the large waiting area each time--we felt like we were at an airport lounge.

Patient for many years. Each visit I felt I received less care and more “sales pitches”, for services that required out of pocket expenses. Even the MONTHLY SPECIAL emails and “EVENING COCKTAIL EVENTS”, pertained to NON INSURANCE covered procedures.

Dr Buatti is personable, knowledgeable and he and his staff were very kind and helpful and were very accommodating about squeezing my additional requested filler injection into my appointment. He did a great job, both in recommending the right product for my concern and injecting the fillers. He is an artist. My results are great.
