Dr Buyama has been my PCP for at least 15 years. She is incredibly knowledgeable, personable, and kind. I rely on her judgement and care. Dr Buyama remembers the details of my personal history despite the heavy patient load she carries. She is super-fast but always gives me plenty of time to thoroughly discuss my issues and never makes me feel rushed. My visits are something I look forward to because I feel secure that I am getting the best medical care available.

- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 10/1/2023
She actually read my new patient paperwork thoroughly, which I don't experience often. Anything not marked as 100% well, she asked me about thoughtfully with additional questions and prescribed various tests or options for how to address those issues. It felt like she cared that I felt 100% well and not just addressing concerns or issues. She was quick to offer referrals, too for specific care issues. I thought she was very smart, kind, respectful and really appreciated that I didn't feel rushed either. She was also really good at talking through various things as she was doing them which always makes me comfortable.
