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.

Very kind and professional. I would recommend Dr. Buhac 100%!

I am very happy with Dr. Buhac. He is very thorough. I liken him to a pitbull with a bone. He wont give up. His testing showed my kidney cancer. He broke the news with kindness and compassion. He got me to an oncology specialist the next day. Now he treats my liver disease with the same care and compassion. He explains everything to me. I never feel rushed and I ask a ton of questions.

Office is way too busy. Dr sent in wrong dose of medication and does not even remember doing it! Tried to blame me for increased dose of amitryptilline( like I could go to pharmacy and say please increase my dose! )They don't return calls , nurse Valerie is very rude. If they can't find cause of problem they label it IBS and give you a boot in the butt. No patient compassion , just all about the money. Do not go to this office/doctor if you need anything more the routine. !!!

Dr. Buhac is excellent. I was having a problem and he took the time to work with me. He did a procedure and answered all of our questions afterwards. He is kind and considerate. Truly worth going to.

Poor communication of options for treatment of a problem swallowing and wanted to put in a feeding tube without even trying any other treatment. When we insisted we try medication first, it took 5 days before communication between doctor's office and pharmacy occurred. Meantime patient loosing weight! Switched to another doctor who provided options and treatment; will never go back to Dr. Buhac

He is a terrible Doctor. He wrote me off as being okay because blood test came back normal. He wouldn't do a lower GI because of my age. A year later I came back with worse symptoms and they did the lower scope. They found colitis and ulcers. He still hasn't started treating it. I'm finding a new doctor. He doesn't seem to care that I am still having problems. Stay away.
