    As I stated before, she is always late. I also heard her discussing my history in the hallway with her medical assistant. She didn't even ask me about a medicals situation I had a few weeks earlier. I understand that this is my physical and now I have to pay for any additional questions I have, she basically ignored discussing a hospital stay due to an infection. She did however tell me how wonderful my bloodwork looked and how I won't need that next year. I just felt like she was just trying to make light of the fact that she was at least 35 minutes late, due to a technical issue and she had to take the call. Someone should have let me know.

    Amazing visit based on my anxiety medications/check up. We also spoke of therapy due to PTSD from abusive relationship. She was absolutely wonderful throughout. However, as part of our appointment we tried to find a therapist for said reasons. She set it up, but when I spoke to the therapist they did not accept me and I was told Susan put in a change of medicine, which I do not want or need. Thank you.

    I had experienced chest pain the day before my appointment, and I am very grateful to Dr Buchek for seeing me right away. She has helped me a great deal by both listening carefully to my description of my symptoms and quickly doing some tests.
