This doctor caused my mom to go into Sepsis because she left her on prednisone throughout her chemo. My mom collapsed at her office w the sepsis rash prominent and she told her to go home and rest. Instead 10 days in ICU and hopeless prognosis. The intervening team of docs in ICU eventually saved her from this woman.

Since leaving this doctor I have heard similar complaints from others. Beware of this doctor. Very uncaring and puts making money for herself and the hospital above patient interests.

This woman tried to talk my mom into putting my Dad into hospice twice. She looked at an xray and said my dad had a blockage in his bowel. She gave us the "There's nothing we can do speech". We were shocked because he seemed fine (talking, eating, pooping, etc) and was supposed to be released from the hospital and go to rehab that day. We got a second opinion. Three other doctors said she was completely wrong! He didn't have a blockage at all. He went to rehab and is fine. So glad we didn't listen to her. She is crazy! WARNING: DO NOT LET HER SEND YOU TO HOSPICE!!

If you are looking for a doctor who cares, look further. This one is not it.

I left her office in tears because the way she treated me was so disturbing. She had no respect for the fact that I’m trying to heal my whole body and not just treat my symptoms. That idea is foreign to her. She does not know the human body, but only drugs. The lack of respect she showed for me was unsettling and disturbing.

This doctor cannot be trusted and has one of the worst personalities I’ve ever encountered. She does not listen to her patients at all.

Dr. Budde was an amazing Oncologist during my cancer time. I have never experienced a better doctor than she was. I wish she was still my Oncologist but I realize in life we have to make changes for our family. She is greatly missed by me and my family!
