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.

WORST DOCTOR EVER!
He is the worst doctor I’ve ever dealt with. I question his competency and well as his patient interaction! When asking clarifying questions told me I was wasting his time. Avoid him like the plague!!

Excellent Doctor!
Dr Buhari is an excellent doctor. I had two staph infections after having cervical fusion surgery. The doctor was very pleasant, explained what to expect to get the infection under control. I was visited by the doctor numerous times as well as his staff in the hospital. He also set up home Intravenous therapy. My PCP and Dr. Buhari were in contact with each other to keep my PCP informed. I have talked with Dr. Buhari by phone at home and he would answer any questions I had.. I can not thank Dr. Buhari enough for getting rid of my two staph infection.

Dr. Buhari completely disregarded my concerns after having a serious staph infection recur. I did call several times when my symptoms started to return and my labs showed my infection returning and he told me I was making his life difficult and being an inconvenience to him. I have never had anyone be so rude, disrespectful, and dismissive to me let alone a physician. He would not even let me speak without over talking me and dismissing my fears and concerns.
