Dr. Bueno performed my emergency surgery as well as 5 more subsequent surgeries. During my emergency surgery she labored for 10+ hours to save my life. When I recovered from anesthesia I met Dr. Bueno and have never met a more kind, conscious, informative and giving person. God bless you Dr. Bueno.

Very professional. Have not yet had de-brief of lab results but expect the same quality of communication and care.

The first time I visited her, there were few patients and almost no wait time. The following year, my followup visit found four patients (scheduled for the same time?). I guess being affiliated with two hospitals makes scheduling patients for office visits difficult. I left without seeing her and had to pay for the visit anyway

Dr. Bueno has a great personality. Very friendly and reassuring. She is able to explain procedures and what to expect in a very understandable way.
