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.

Not compassionate
Dr Buonaspina is not compassionate or caring….just wants to know which insurance you have

If I could give zero stars I would. I never write reviews but here goes..This place is completely unprofessional. I made an appointment for my daughter to get shots needed for school, I explained to them the paper work stated what she was due for. I walked in today, was put in a room immediately and the doctor walked in barely said a word and gave my daughter a shot. We were told we were done, I asked for the updated paperwork for school. They asked What, is she behind on shots? When I asked what they just gave her I was told a flu shot, when I asked why they said that was what the appointment was made for. When I told the doctor that’s not what I made the appointment for he said well she needed a flu shot anyway, the girl at the desk sat there and lied to my face saying she informed me we were there for a flu shot upon arrival. They had zero compassion and took zero responsibility for making a huge mistake.

Best Pediatrician I know. From the first time I met him 30 years ago up until now. He really takes the time to listen and treat. I'm gonna hate when he retires, if my child has not grown up by then.

He is great! He doesn’t push meds if not necessary. Very thorough and knowledgeable. Talks to us without attitude and tries to explain things and listens to our concerns. Almost no wait time. Rooms and bathroom spotless.The Most amazing Staff, friendly and helpful.

Not only is Dr. Buonaspina a wonderful doctor but he is also an amazing person. My son was diagnosed with extreme reflux when he was 36 hours old and was in the NICU for 8 days. Doc made it his business to visit us in the hospital and be there during rounds to make sure he was happy with his prognosis. He strongly believes in vacationing your children and any time I am there I am the only person waiting to see him. The staff is so friendly and accommodating. I couldn’t have wished for a better pediatrician!

Concerned mother in Staten Island , NY – Nov 01, 2018

Dr. Buonaspina did not provide proper care for my child . He is not very professional and he is not very knowledgeable as well. My son was seen on a Thursday and he was very sick 102 fever and he was tested for strep throat , This so called doctor calls us back 5 days later to tell us that he tested positive for strep throat and the Flu. If he had a brain he would know how to contact us . He should of known that we had cell phone #'s on file.He really needs to give it up he is a rude old man.

Doctors like Dr. Buonaspina don't come around too often . He is caring , compassionate ,patient and extremely knowledgeable.. He takes his time and is always thorough when diagnosing . He is always there when you need him and has an incredible caring , staff. If you ask my kids to describe Dr. B they will say cool, smart , and one of a kind ..

Dr. Buonaspina is an amazing doctor. He is compassionate, caring and has the most wonderful bedside manner. I recently has the privilege of working beside him during a surgical mission to a third world country and he helped to diagnose illnesses that puzzled the doctors of that country. The reason is that Dr. Buonaspina also a specialist in infectious diseases. Children here and abroad suffer from infections that are life threatening and many patients are referred to him throughout the country.
