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.

Caring and professional
Dr. Bucha has been a wonderful physician for my elderly parents and me. She’s very kind and listens carefully to my concerns. She’s knowledgeable and thorough, and I feel very lucky to have her as my primary care physician.

Good listener
Dr Bucha is an excellent doctor. She listens, never rushes, and always validates your concerns rather than scoffing them off. She’s willing to investigate for facts rather than rush to a diagnosis.

Horrible
This doctor took me off work for 366 days for FMLA told me we need to figure out what is wrong.Ended up losing my job.She refused to fill out my paperwork for long term disability so I could get a paycheck.I also asked her to fill out paperwork saying my Mother needed assistance in my home so that I could make an income this way, she refused even though my Mother was a patient of hers and she KNEW my Mothers health conditions.Of all the 10 years I was a patient not ONCE did anyone call me for test results.I found out diagnoses in my chart that I never knew I had.One being Lyme!This office had me and my daughter mixed up in our medical records and my records now state that I smoke marijuana and that I like to drink and when I asked to have this removed they refused.After I found what was going on in my chart and confronted her office they let me go as a patient!!I ended up with Adhesive Arachnoiditis, AS and more and she would not help me in anyway after being her patient for 10 years.

I think Dr. Bucha does an excellent job at taking time and examining the patients. The problem is with her nurses. When you talk to them they talk to fast and you can't understand them. I have had this problem every time I have talked to Dr. Bucha's nurse about my prescriptions and also results about tests. Dr. Bucha please have your nurse that sounds like she is Spanish to talk slow or just send an email. She should have better English to be giving important information to patients.

Excellent doctor who cares about and listens to the patient . With every appointment I've had she's spent the time to explain everything and sent the necessary referrals. Her staff equally care and both she and her staff follow up. I cannot begin to say how pleased I am to have her and her staff managing my healthcare, again she's an EXCELLENT DOCTOR .
