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.

He's a great doctor, the only problem is the waiting time; maybe because he gets too many patients.

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.

March 17, 2014Gustavo C.Verified patient
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.

May 22, 2014Sofia G.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.

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.

September 25, 2013Christopher T.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.
June 17, 2013Initials hidden
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!
