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.

Saw once during my pregnancy, refused to see him again. Super condescending, 0 empathy . Spoke to me like I was a complete piece of garbage, maybe it’s time to retire . Drove over an hour to see another dr that’s how much I DID Not want to return .

Dr. Bussey has delivered 2 of my children, had helped me get a v-bac after 2 C-secs, even tho my child decided to go breech last minute. Helped me through the insane ups and downs of the pregnancy as i became one of his " favorite " contractions patients that scared him every day. Dr Bussey would be my top choice Gyno to EVER go to. I trust him and he knows exactly what he is doing. Out of my 4 pregnancies, my last two where the hardest, Bussey he made it easy to handle and understand.

Dr Bussey was my OB in 2011 when I had my son. We had a very traumatic birth together, and he was so kind, informative, and caring throughout it all. I was so excited to find him again over 6 years later, and switch my gyn care back over to him. I *highly* recommend him. At almost 39, I have seen many different gyns over the years, and I have never had anyone make me feel as comfortable as Dr. Bussey does.

Avoids answering questions...doesn't give results to tests that were ran even though he states it would help determine what's wrong......rushes around to each patient an doesn't spend enough time with any of us....joker, story teller seems almost annoyed to be working some times... Fake...... Considering the job he chose for himself you would think he would treat people with respect an like human beings not like it's just a paycheck for him to collect....

He was friend , but didnt provide enough information, always seems too busy and always telling me simple things but not sharing important information. Didn't make me feel as if what I went in for was a serious issue. Always didn't know anyhing. Its like I have to be questioning him rather than him telling me what to do during my health situation.
