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.

So happy we moved to Sharp
Dr. Busino and the staff were very awesome. Super friendly and attentive. I felt like Dr. Busino actually cared about me and the reason for my visit. I wasn’t just another patient or number or a turn. Thank you Dr. Busino

Great experience!
She was very friendly, apologized profusely that I had to wait on this unusually busy Monday. She worked quickly and gently, explained as she went along, so I always knew what she was doing or was about to do. She explained my test results very well and told me I could come back in a year.

Dr. Busino is amazing. She fully explained all aspects of the procedure and made us feel comfortable with our decision no matter which option we chose. She was great with us and our baby. The front desk staff was also very helpful, kind, and informative.

Tonsillectomy
She was absolutely amazing and very understanding. She got me in as soon as she could and even rearranged her schedule to get me into surgery to help me feel better and was with me every step of the way. She was incredibly patient and kind and caring. She is the doctor you would want by your side

I tried to contact them, but the secretary said that you have to wait for an appointment. I checked the emergency room, and they contacted her and agreed to meet me. After 6 months of inflammation returned again and you called again and I could not meet her. Then I spoke with me over the phone and sent me only anti-inflammatory through the pharmacy. And now for the third time I hit inflammation again. 3 times strikes me infection after the operation, I could not, I interview the doctor. I called
