Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

HORRIBLE doctor!!!
He walked in the exam room with an attitude right away!! Wouldn't listen to me. He called me fat and lazy and told me I needed to move more, but he never even asked me what I do during the day. Never tried to hear me out. He kept blaming my issues on my meds when they aren't to blame. He told me I was faking and needed to go back to work. I was diagnosed with a TBI at u of m after I car accident last year and I was going to him so I had a neurologist closer to me, but he said that u of m was wrong and he didn't think I had a TBI because I wasn't unconscious in the accident. You don't have to be knocked unconscious to have a TBI!!! I trust u of m a little bit more!!! He even wanted me to change meds that my gastro doctor has me on because he doesn't think my gastro disease is as bad as my doctor says. My gastro doctor at u of m is one of the best in the country for my disease, I'm not switching and I think he knows a little bit more about my case!!! I wouldn't recommend to anyone!!!

Arrogant and very unhelpful. Will get angry if you ask about his processes or have questions. Very temperamental with a God like complex.

Very positive, He was not in a rush, took his time and answered all my questions, very positive bedside manner. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Wait time is almost nothing. I'm feeling hopeful about getting relief for my migraines.

My visits at Dr. Buday's office were a good experience. The staff was friendly, polite and helpful. Dr. Buday has a great bed side manner! He was polite, very thorough and answered all my questions. I would definitely recommend him to family and friends!

Very unhappy with visit. He wasn’t interested in listening to symptoms of the patient. Would not recommend him to anyone. Go to a Dr that wants to help.

We took my Mom to see Dr. Buday. He was so patient with her and kind to us. He answered all the questions we had with kindness. What a great doctor. The staff was also so nice.

He's a joke. Pill pusher at best. Not willing to actually help patients. Kicked me out for not taking blood pressure pills as a fix for my tourette syndrome (they DONT HELP) Poor bedside manner and an ego too big to fit through the door. Unless you want pills, DONT GO TO THIS QUACK!

Rude, snobbish, unfeeling doctor who told my sister-in-law that her neurological problems were due to her being old and sagging. If there was a minus five rating, he would get it.
