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.

Horrible. Worst doctor out there. Embarrassed to even call him doctor. Rude. Insensitive. Lied about results. My father almost died alone because of his callous behavior and lies

Dr. Raphael Bueno may be deemed a premier surgeon but his arrogance overshadows that accomplishment. He is condescending, His follow up care is poor. Our experience was not good. He did not follow up on issues post surgery and did not fully disclose tests results that would have allowed our family to better understand progression of illness and help us better make end of life decisions. A true professional would better interact with his patients and their family, offer full disclosure of illness progression (results of blood work and scans) and follow up immediately when patient issues arise. A surgeon's job does not stop in the operating room but continues post surgery. In my opinion Dr. Bueno is not a professional and how dare he be so condescending when working with cancer patients.

I’m sure Dr. Bueno is a great surgeon but he’s extremely arrogant and lacks any bedside manner. He’s very rude and cold! Total a-s-s

Yes, he IS the best and the brightest, who also has a very kind heart and a sense of humor to help you through the serious problem(s). Twice he has found issues that were overlooked by my local doctors. After months of pain and 7 visits to the local doctors/labs, Dr. Bueno found the problem, immediately arranged another test to confirm exactly what is the issue. I thank God to be blessed with the man as my doctor.

I was referred to Dr Bueno after 8 years of chronic debilitating daily pain and he diagnosed thru tests w/ Thoracic Outlet Syndrome severe enough to be a candidate for first rib resection surgery on 1/2017; Now 6 weeks post op with amazing instant results immediately after surgery upon waking up with no pain and full range of motion in my right arm. I am 2 weeks into physical therapy with consistent results! Dr. Bueno is a magnificent surgeon I highly recommend and gave me back my life!!

His job as a Dr. is more than a career. He is truly a humanitarian wanting to make a difference and save peoples lives. Always going beyond to help.I find him to be both modest and humble, truly a gentleman. He is an amazing Dr. and man. Hospital & staff are always just a phone call away if you have concerns and questions.
