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.

Dismissive
Very dismissive and not a good fit for medically complex children. Did not want to treat my child with an antibiotic with extensive medical history. Took her back today thankfully the Doctor today took her seriously due to the infection history and sent her antibiotics 24hrs later we start antibiotics and hopefully avoid hand surgery for my 2 year old because of the infection I was dismissed with yesterday

Didn't listen to a thing I told her about my depression. She recommended I try reading a self-help book and acted as if I was overreacting even after I broke down crying in her office. She treated self-harm as though it were a choice and clearly had NO understanding of the situation at all. She didn't offer any real help because the scars she saw at that visit were relatively light. The closest I ever got to taking my life was after an appointment with her because of how worthless and unheard she made me feel. I have never hated a healthcare professional more. She tried comparing my struggles with mental health to common things she faces every day, totally minimizing the pain I was in. I quit my medication and suffered through withdrawal just to avoid having to see her again to get a refill on my prescription. I have not heard back since then, nice to know she doesn't care if I stay on top of those meds (or even stay alive). I will never go back to see her.

We met Dr Budania at Shands After Hours Pediatric Clinic when our established Pediatric office was not open. Our family was very impressed with her bedside manner with our 16 year old son and how she included us (the parents) in the balanced conversation and courae of treatment. She is very knowledgeable, compassionate but also firm in her directions to the patient for self care and health responsibilities. We saw her interact with the other doctor and shared her knowledge and approach for the situation. We are ao pleased with the care we received from Dr Bhudonia.

She did not find the right thing for my girl, and mislead us to a wrong treatment. But at that moment I trust her, I am very regret now.

She was excellent. Caught my sons MRSA when our other doctor at another practice blew us off. She gave us her personal cell and took great care of us!
