Peter's office canceled my appointment, I left two messages with his answering service, my calls were not returned. Not a very well run business, I can only imagine what Peter's medical skills must be like!

Dr. Buffa is always spot on with his medical knowledge & acumen. However, what separates him from other doctors is his bedside manner. He is kind, caring, compassionate & will take his time talking with you & answering your questions. My entire family sees Dr. Buffa & we all very highly recommend him.
