Dr. Buka was wonderful. He guided me step by step on what my options were and let me know my options before he proceeded on the necessary procedures. Such a big relief that I didn't have to wait for HOURS before being seen like what happened with my previous dermatologist. I highly recommend Dr. Buka. His staff are wonderful and the office space is beautiful!

The wait here is ridiculous. By the time the doctor has come to see you, you've been shuffled between a few rooms. The nurse was incredibly rude and made inappropriate comments. It feels like he's trying to push all of these prescriptions on you, and it feels more like a sales associate on commission rather than a doctor.

Dont go here. This Dr. overbooks using ZocDoc-and takes appointments by phone. Then he tries to have most patients be seen by his several physician assistants or medical assistants. I was shocked to have one tell me he was going to performa procedure which requires cutting. I refused and requested the Dr perform the procdure. My insurance pays several hundred $$ for me to be seen by a full fledged licensed doctor NOT a physicians assistant. I will never go back as hes greedily overbooking appointments and not properly seeing patients. I had made my appointment through zocdoc which shows he has available appointments thursday and friday that week, and the assistant told me the doctor is not scheduled to be here???!! Again caution; stay away everything is weird or an argument right down to getting a note for the visit.

Not worth the hassle. He makes you pay the co- pay before the visit.. getting a properly writte sick note is a hassle as well-- he wouldnyt write what date i could return to work but insisted i could return same day after having procedure- i didnt feel like it..at first a physicians assitant said he was going to do a procedure- i said no - i could not believe the nerve after my insurance is paying for me to be seen by a doctor. He is a good doctor ncie mannered but the office stuff is annoying, I don't recommend

The Front St. office is a little weird to get into initially, but nice. Front staff offered everyone water while they waited except me. As it was my first time there, I'm going to assume it was a fluke. The actual visit with Dr. Buka was quick, but he diagnosed my issue. Will definitely be booking an appt. for my annual skin check and see how that goes. On the way out, one of the front staff members put a bottle of body wash in front of me that the doctor had recommended and then walked away. I stood there for a minute or 2 and actually had to ask if I was done before I was acknowledged again. Definitely not the worst doctor's staff I encountered, but odd none the less.

Dr. Bobby is wonderful! After reading some of the reviews by other patients, I felt compelled to share my experience. Like ALL Dermatologist in NYC, he overbooks. This is a result of patients not showing up for their scheduled appointments. I understand that time is valuable for everyone, with this being said, I don't mind waiting for my visit with him. He is very thorough and addresses any/all of my questions (and I have a ton of questions). After visiting several dermatologist over the past couple of years, he is the ONLY ONE who actually was able to diagnose my skin cancer and provide an excellent array of treatment options. Following my diagnosis, his office stayed in communication with me regularly to address any questions or concerns I may have. I have recommended him to anyone who has voiced they are in need of a GREAT dermatologist. I believe he is one of the best NYC has to offer. Hands down.

His staff members are friendly, well-informed, intelligent and communicate clearly. He is the same--warm, thorough and thoughtfu--and made sure we left with all our questions answered. The office is beautiful and comfortable, too. It is rare to meet a new doctor these days and leave feeling confident that your family will have a long, productive relationship with the practice. That is certainly how we left Dr. Buka's office today. Thank you!

First, I was a little bit surprised. The office entry gives the feeling of a spa - but the administrative personnel busy like bees. It takes three people until I finally see Dr. Buka - each of them seems to have forgotten a piece of their work. So it is good that the next person checks... Dr. Buka is welcoming and efficent. In other words, he is not messing around and gets done what needs to get done. He explains procedure well, ensures that I am comfortable, but then leaves the administrative/paperwork/after treatment tasks to the 'nurse'. Gives a little bit the feeling of a mass-production system. Well, somebody needs to pay the three people I saw before him :-) Nevertheless, as long as I do not have something serious that needs explanations and a discussion about options, I would go again.

Dr. Buka is charming and competent. However, I was annoyed about his lack of interest in the cost of drugs. I told him in the past a generic drug had done a good job treating my skin condition. Yet he prescribed an expensive branded drug. I'm guessing a pharma sales drug must have influenced him. In any case, not listening to a patient or not caring about the cost of a prescription are not what I consider good characteristics in a doctor.

I've been to my share of doctors. I've never had an experience like the one I did with Dr. Buka. I booked the appointment on the web. I received text messages reminding me of my appointment and even had the ability to automatically enter the appointment into my MS Outlook. You enter a relaxing courtyard to to his office and meet an extremely professional staff. All information is computerized. I had a short wait and was walked through an art deco Dr.'s office to a viewing room. The dr. enterd a sliding glass room , introduced himself, asked if I had any specific concerns which he addressed. He also did a complete examination with a very professional assistant. The entire environment and the comforting, confident of the doctor provided a very positive experience. I've never been to a young progressive doctor like Dr. Buka. The entire experience was unlike any I've experienced to date. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking a dermatologist.

I really don't know how to rate Dr. Buka since he never actually met with me! I understand that a physicians assistant can maybe give me advice about my excema, but it really rubbed me the wrong way that I had gone out of my way to see a specialist (it costs me quite a bit to do this) and he never once came in the room. Next time, I would expect that the receptionist would at least tell me that I wouldn't see the Dr so that I was prepared.

Hands down the most beautiful office ever. Dr. Buka is so accomodating, takes his time to answer all your questions, and their staff is so sweet too! They are the only derm with pharmacy at the counter. Saves a huge hassle. I am a happy happy customer! The only drawback is its a bit far via public transportation, but the area he is in is just beautiful, so it's well worth it. It must be noted that they provide emergency same-day appointments on their website, which other derm does this?! Invaluable!

Dr. Buka was very efficient. Staff at the front desk answered all questions about insurance forms. Once I was in the examination room, the assistant took care of the prep work, and Dr. Buka completed his exam in about 10 minutes time. He knew what to diagnose very quickly - but I did not feel like he rushed through the exam. I felt that he knew his stuff, and was comfortable in making a diagnosis based on his observations.

Dr. Buka has a calm, decisive manner about him which enables the patient to make an informed decision when faced with choices that have been presented by the doctor. He left me alone for several minutes so that I could determine which were the best cosmetic decisions to make. I was very pleased with the options that I chose and will continue to use Dr. Buka and will recommend him to friends/colleagues who are considering cosmetic procedures.

As a long-time acne sufferer, I've been to countless dermatologists who turned out to be unhelpful. Granted I've only seen Dr. Buka once, he made me feel hopeful and didn't make me feel guilty about my issues with picking. And the office/treatment rooms are immaculate and well-designed!

He is soft spoken with the perfect bedside manner and care you wish All doctors had. You walk in, nervous about what might need to be done and he puts you right at ease. The Doctor's asst was also very helpful and on my follow visit only saw him. Just as professional and easy to talk to. The office is easy to get to find and the front desk staff exceptional. Wish All doctors front desks were as great. I will ABSOLUTELY reccomend Dr Buka to friends.

Great doctor, very nice and great bedside manner. Very comfortable talking to him and explaining concerns. Although the wait time was a bit longer than I'd like (about 10-15 minutes in the office including paper work, 15-20 minutes waiting for Dr. Buka). All in all, the visit lasted about 45 minutes.

This appointment was actually for our 5 week old son. Dr. Buka did a great job treating us. Meaning he spent time with my wife and me answering questions and making sure we understood what was going on with our baby. It’s great to have a pediatric dermatologist who is actually concerned with both the patient and the family.
