I can’t say enough positive things! She listened, actually listened, and you could tell she cared about each patient and valued the connection and finding the root cause

Dr. Elisa Bocchieri-Bustros is the best. If you need an endocrinologist, look no further! She’s both feelings & solution-oriented in the way that I am assured with the new medicines prescribed and excited to improve my health. I’ve seen really great results while seeing her the last 2 years & yes I have improved exponentially. Snagging appointments can be tough because she is highly sought after but after years of seeing doctors that aren’t… “compatible” with me, I really recommend her. The 5 star reviews don’t lie!!

August 19, 2021Smita P.Verified patient
Dr. Bocchieri-Bustros listened, was kind and informative. Her medical assistants, and the receptionist are nice and were very helpful. Everything was clean, end of day there were two to three people in their large waiting area. Highly recommend this office. The only issue I had was the 45 min wait time, but she was worth the wait.
August 16, 2021Michelle E.Verified patient
I’m not too fond of Drs right now but I liked her,thought she was much better than my previous endocrine that didn’t blood test or listen to me when I thought the meds were making me feel worse&felt rushed,she was pretty much the opposite. I didn’t feel I was on a 2min time limit,didn’t feel blown off,she seems like an actual good Dr that would do what’s best for you&your situation also listens to what you say. She’s how Drs should be&I would def recommend her to someone else I know.
July 6, 2021Stephanie S.Verified patient
She was super helpful and thorough. She definitely wanted to drive the conversation, though, which was fine. Her team was great.

I've been searching for an endocrinological home for over a year now and definitely feel I found it with Dr Bochhieri. She was empathetic, kind, took the time to explain things to me, and invited me in to be a partner in my healthcare instead of just dismissing my concerns. I also like that she takes a less-is-more approach and offered me options. The bar has gotten so low for good care and I'm glad she well surpassed it.
May 9, 2021Kaitlyn S.Verified patient
Dr. Bocchieri-Bustros is amazing! She's so kind and takes her time to listen to your concerns and answer your questions. She is also quick to respond to messages and comment on test results.

June 14, 2020Aimee P.Verified patient
Very thorough exam. Doesn't rush and takes the time to get to know you and explain everything in detail and gives you different options when she can.
She does all this while being down to earth and very personable. Wish more doctors were like this.

She was very sweet ..
November 13, 2019Albania R.Verified patient
AMAZING!!! I was hesitant on going to another Endocrinologist who would just simply look at my weight & just say “eat better” which others have done. However, Dr. Elisa didn’t do that and actually took the time to get to know me & my reasons for going. I am not diabetic, but have PCOS & need to go on Metformin to regulate my hormones. She literally asked me, “so what are the exact reasons you are here & want to gain from this visit?” I have never had a doctor ask me this. I used these reviews to help me make my decision & I hope this will as well.
More than 1 year agoSoleil M.Verified patient
She is the best doctor I have seen in years. Precise explanations of the issues I might have, confidence to speak, patient to repeat when I was not sure sure. Excellent personality.

Dr. Bocchieri-Bustros and her staff are excellent. Everyone was very friendly and made me feel extremely comfortable the moment I walked in. Dr. Bocchieri-Bustros was very thorough in her explanation of what my diagnosis could be and the steps we would need to take after tests were complete. I was completely at ease and very pleased with my visit.

March 29, 2018Eduard B.Verified patient
I feel, as someone who has struggled with Hashimotos hypothyroidism for 18 years, I finally found a doctor who LISTENS and PAYS ATTENTION. She literally walked into the room and took time to speak to me before turning to the computer to plug in the information. She reached out within 48 hours, and she was the one who physically called me. I couldn’t be happier to have discovered her. Her staff was also attentive and efficient. I am so pleased to have found her through Zocdoc.
February 19, 2018Sahar M.Verified patient
It was wonderful. I was a new patient and she spent so much time with me and answered all of my questions. She also recommended the nutritionist to me and a follow up visit with her to to follow up on information she had given to me during our visit. I highly recommend her.
February 23, 2018Theresa K.Verified patient
She was great love how she takes her time!
February 1, 2018Melissa N.Verified patient
Appreciated that she appeared to have studied my records prior to seeing me so she had her own questions which was good because I forgot an important issue amongst the many that I have. She actually examines and doesn’t just ask for family history to make a diagnosis. Not dismissive. If it’s a concern of yours, it’s a concern of hers. You’re not just another billing code to her.
January 18, 2018Tamara S.Verified patient
I've been a patient of Dr. Bocchieri for almost a year now, and every appointment has been great. She is friendly, efficient, and invested in me not just as a person with diabetes, but a whole individual. I cannot recommend her and her staff highly enough.
January 17, 2018Kathryn D.Verified patient
We liked her a lot. Down to earth and pleasant personality. Her knowledge and approach to my mom’s issue, the patient, was on target. And the rest of the staff, nurses, receptionist, etc., were all kind and professional.
December 19, 2017Ruth S.Verified patient
Dr. Bochierri-Bustros is very caring doctor with wonderful bedside manners and listened to me explain my condition. I liked that she explained several possible reasons for my condition, asked series of symptom questions to eliminate possible causes. I get blood work taken next week and Dr. Bocchieri-Bistro will go over the results with me. I feel she will pursue why I have my symptoms and condition.

This is the longest any doctor has have ever spent with me . I was very happy with my visit. We have a game plan to find out what's going on with me. She is great !!
June 29, 2017Marsha M.Verified patient
Very quick appointment. I only stayed 15 min.
The doctor was very friendly but looked very stressed. Maybe her schedule was over the top.
She answered to my questions and explained me what she will do next.

I'm not one to take the time out for reviews but she was so amazing that I had to. Hands down she's great, thorough with the best bedside manner. You can't go wrong with Dr. Bocchieri!!!
May 1, 2017Aimee P.Verified patient
I know it would sound cliché if I said that I don't find the words to describe Dr Bocchieri and her staff . I can't stress enough how caring nice and passionate she is. She took all her time with me. Everybody from reception downstairs to the nurse were amazingly attentive. They even had a person waiting by elevator and escorting me to the doctor's office. The office and building are super clean and new I would definitely go back and recommend everybody to visit Dr Bocchieri and the facility. Paola the nurse was amazing too so patient and caring omg
April 13, 2017Amel B.Verified patient
The doctor is great. But the staff at the office is awful. One of the medical assistants went to take my blood and she didn't know how to take blood.

Dr. Bocchieri-Bustros was amazing! I have only seen her once so far, but she has incredible bedside manner and really puts you at ease. Seems knowledgeable in her field, and gave me an overview of what our follow-ups would look like. She doesn't simply push medical tests on you without thought--she only wants her patients to complete bloodwork/tests if they are totally necessary. Great so far and looking forward to her medical review of my follow up appointments.
January 24, 2017Michelle F.Verified patient
In my life, I have never met a doctor who cared more about me and my well-being! Dr. Bocchieri went above and beyond by spending a significant amount of time with me to figure out what was going on with me. She was intelligent, caring, thought outside-of-the-box, and was overall everything you could ever want in a doctor. I can't imagine why anyone would choose to go anywhere else, given Dr. Bocchieri as an option. Simply the best.
