Dr. Louis Bonavita JR., MD

I’ve been a patient of Dr. B for many years He was attentive & helpful. Things changed. After major surgery I became allergic to a major diabetes med. Dr B searched for the right med for five months & found it! After trying samples, I found that my insurance would not cover it. I called the office for almost 2 months before anyone responded. Being without this med caused my A-1 C to fly over 10! The insurance companies suggested the doctor call for a consult/peer to peer. I’ve been told he’s trying for almost a year. He finally set one up but discussed the wrong Med! So now, about 11 months later, I can’t have a knee replacement until my A-1 C comes down and I can’t get it down until I get my med back. I’m in PAIN! It hasn’t been easy with the insurance company, but I managed to get to the director. They were willing to surpass the peer to peer but the doctor or nurse never put any needed info in my chart! I’ve called often and my calls are ignored, even when they are marked priority.… Dr. B finally called me back and scolded me, saying that they don’t ignore patients. I tried to explain and thought he understood. I had another nurse call me back and yell at me, saying she is a nurse and deserves respect. This is my life. Diabetes is serious. A1c over 10 is very risky. Nothing is being done. I just received a letter kicking me out of the practice because I’m not following the doctor‘s orders. The doctor hasn’t given me orders in well over a year. He just says I’m working for you kid, but nothing happens. He needs to retire. His heart is no longer in it. I’m so disappointed. I trusted him. Dr B & staff gave up on me.

Can not say enough good about Dr B! He is attentive, knowledgeable , never rushes you. Always asking what else he can help you with. His bedside manner excels! I trust this Dr with my life!! He just can never retire!!

Had constant belly pain. Went to multiple gastroenterologists who blew me off and told me it was in my head. Saw Dr. Bonavita and he diagnosed me with a blockage in the artery that feeds my intenstines. Sent me to a doctor who opened it up with a stent. The specialist told me if it wasn't found I would have died from dead bowel! THIS MAN IS A LIFE SAVER! Thank you!

He cares and seeks best treatment. If not in his area of expertise, he searches for the best qualified physicians even if out of state. He’s one if a kind. Been seeing him for 10 years. A+

Outstanding Doc who goes the extra mile for his patients. Strong patient advocate. Is busy but once he sees you he answers all your questions. Excellent at diagnosing your problems. He listens. Won't find better!

Idk if any other female has notice his tendency to clutch their entire breast when he he listens to their heart beat. That in combination with the sick jokes about women he constantly makes was for me a no no. Great doc, needs to grow up a LOT before he continues to practice. He’s luckily he doesn’t have lawsuits coming his way.

I’ve driven my aunt to and from here four times in the past six months. Wait times have ranged from 30 to 99 minutes. Today's wait was one hour and fifteen minutes. Like most doctors, Bonavita has no consideration or respect for people’s time.

Has been my Dr for 30 years. Thinks outside the box, is willing to listen even if he doesn’t agree. Was completely available to me during a medical crisis in 2009/2010. Has called me at home, to check my progress. He has always been an top of my care. Knows everything thing there is to know about me. I trust this man like no other.

Impresses me as a very caring and knowledgeable physician. He was very willing to listen and answer questions.

The best diagnosis Dr. around. He knows his stuff.
