Likely the best dermatology server that I have met. Sorry that she moved, but sure that new patients will be happy with her. I am from Florida, but she was not there before I moved to Georgia. Best wishes for her in new location. Bob Evans in Athens Ga area.

I just returned from my first visit with Dr. Bulengo. She is amazing. I am 60 years old and have never visited a doctor as knowledgeable or that listened so carefully and respected what I was saying. She actually takes the time to sincerely listen to what you have to say and has respect for efforts you have put forth to assist her in assisting you. Amazing !!!

After consulting numerous dermatologists and internists for an inexplicable skin condition, Dr. Stella Bulengo solved the mystery and got me back to normal! She is my "Go-To" dermatologist in SW Florida.

Dr. Bulengo actually took the time to listen to me and found an issue that had been ignored by 3 other doctors including the experts at Emory. She was kind, thorough and concerned that I get the proper treatment.

Dr. Bulengo was very knowledgeable and extremely personable!!! When she made aware that I didn't have insurance, and that I was paying out of pocket, she didn't let that prohibit her from giving me the best care!!! Dr. Bulengo is at least 45 mins away from me, but I will continue to go to her. She's definitely worth the drive!!!! #GreatDoctor!

I have been very impressed with my whole experience with Dr. Bulengo and her staff. It takes a lot for me to even trust a doctor but Dr. Bulengo had me feel comfortable and at ease. She is very personable and a delight as well as very professional. I wish she could be my primary physician. Thank you Dr. and staff.
