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.

I got Dr Buchsbaum since my OB was on maternity leave. I was pregnant at the time and since I had a high risk for a short cervix, my NP made this appointment for her to measure my cervix. She did a quick ultrasound and then asks me if I had any further questions. I told her why I was there and she got defensive and told me how "we normally don't measure cervixes at __ weeks", and then clicking through my past history (this was my 1st visit with her) tried to talk to me about a future hysterectomy(!!) without even looking at me. Afterwards, I asked her about the brand new Covid vaccine for pregnant women and she said with such condescension, "why wouldn't you get it?" When I fumbled through a response, she gave me a brief explanation, but I left feeling so stupid and not feeling better about getting the vaccine. I lost my baby at 20 weeks due to a short cervix. In hindsight, I know she should've made another appointment sooner to keep checking. If she wasn't so arrogant and flippant!

Had a regular visit at Kaiser in Mission Bay with Dr. Buchsbaum and she was really kind. She answered all my questions regarding pregnancy and my concerns regarding my pap. She is very knowledgeable and makes you feel safe and confident. In addition, she is pretty quick and is transparent on what will happen next. High recommend her!
