It was my first time visiting him so I am not certain that the wait is consistently close to 2 hours but Dr. Bueso is totally worth the wait. He's personable, knowledgeable and thorough.

Great and friendly doctor, arrived 10 minutes prior to my 1:30 appointment. Left the lobby at around 2:30 to see the doctor.
I thought he was very friendly, knowledgeable, professional and ready to get started on my much needed treatment.

He's a great doctor, the only problem is the waiting time; maybe because he gets too many patients.
Straight to the point. it was great! His office staff took good care of me and so did he.

Dr. Bueso seems nice... But I waited for 2 hours to speak with the doctor for literally 5 mins. Hopefully today I can really sit and speak with the doctor and figure out a plan for my health concerns.

Great doctor, terrible staff. I spent hours on the phone trying to sort out how to transfer labs requested by another doctor, and got different answers depending on who I talked to. I was the first appointment of the day but I waited over an hour to be seen, even after I asked them what was going on and told them I was going to be late to work. Not looking forward to my followups at this office.
Helped me alot and very quickly.
Very well recommended

Staff is not friendly... no too much to say...

It was my first time visiting him so I am not certain that the wait is consistently close to 2 hours but Dr. Bueso is totally worth the wait. He's personable, knowledgeable and thorough.
Verified patient
I thought that he was very quick and to the point. He seems to know how to pinpoint what the issue is and how to quickly resolve it. He's not one to just write a prescription, he thinks through things carefully to see if medicine is necessary or not. Also, all labe work is done in-office no going to a separate place to have labs done.
This was my first visit, he seems to be a good Dr. and I was going to continue to go to him. I may even use him as my primary care physician. I will wait to see how every thing turns out.
Verified patient
Very informative! Very helpful!
It was worth the wait. He is the first to truly try to find the root of my problem. Excellent bedside manner and office staff was great! Highly recommend but be prepared to wait.
Verified patient
It was nice; a bit busy but overall nice.
Verified patient
excellent service
Their wait time is horrible.
Great doctor!
Wait time was horrible. My appointment was at 10am and didn't get called until 12:30 and then wasn't seen until almost 1. The dr made me feel like an idiot for following up with other specialists that I was told to follow up with upon discharge from the hospital after having major surgery.
Very nice, as always.
Verified patient
It was professional and comfortable
Verified patient
Dr. Bueso came highly recommended to me by a doctor for whom I have complete trust and respect. I was not disappointed. I have so much more confidence in him than with my previous endocrinologist. Dr. Bueso went right to the root of my problem, and said "We will fix this problem." He was caring and continually asked me if he was making himself clear, and if I had any questions. I am so glad I opted for a second opinion with Dr. Bueso.
Although the wait time wasn't fabulous, I really enjoyed my visit with Dr. Bueso. He was really attentive and really seemed knowledgeable about what was ailing me, in addition to recommending me a great doc for the procedure I'm looking to have done. I will definitely be recommending him in the future!
Would never recommend this doctor to anyone
Friendly, quick, thorough.
The consultation was satisfactory but i didn't hear about the physical report results until I called the doctor's office after 2 weeks of the appointment.
He is very friendly and professional. I am already seeing good results in just 2 days. I was very pleased with my overall experience with the Dr. and his staff.
