My mother is dying because of her negligence, over medicating, and WRONG medication. Please if you are a patiënt of hers leave now before this happens to you. We are living a nightmare now because of this so called Doctor.

I've been going to Dr Bucha since she started at Woodside and have always loved her because she is very thorough and caring. She has lots of patients now, and is much harder to get in to see, but I can deal with that as they are good about working you in. Not sure about her nursing staff - they used to be outstanding, but the newer staff really lacks in energy levels, appearance, passion for their job or patients. No zip in their step ! What happened ?

It pains me to leave this review. Dr. Bucha is the most caring, compassionate and competent Doctor I or my family has ever had. Hands down. The problem is her office and nursing staff. They are lacking. Getting a call back from a staff member on an important matter is a day+ at least or sometimes not at all. Prescription refills, even for important meds like seizure control are apparently a joke to them. 10 days on a regularly monthly basis. Doctor Bucha will provide the best care and treatment there is but her office staff does not share her compassion or professionalism. Sad.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Bucha since she came to Woodside. I am very fortunate to have found her. Yes, she is the most kind and compassionate doctor I’ve ever met! Give her a laundry list of concerns and she will not forget any of them. She genuinely cares about her patients.

I have seen Dr. Bucha mainly for maintenance of health issues, usually once a year. She is very thorough and an excellent advocate for a healthy life style.

Dr. Bucha is a most caring doctor. We have moved out of state and I miss her professionalism and compassion. I highly recommend her-when she is sitting besides you it feels as you are the only person she cares for-complete focus. SAMG is lucky to have Dr Bucha.

Dr Buchanan is and amazing Dr. She assesses the patient's needs by observation, careful examination, specific questions, and truly listening. Her medical expertise is coupled with a compassionate heart and a gentle spirit. I would highly recommend Dr. Bucha to meet the needs if your entire family.
