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.

He listens, when you tell him something he really pays attention. He explains thing so that you will understand. He will address an issue he sees that is out of his area by directing you to the right person to handle the problem. I could just continue to name off positive things about him but, at the end of the day, I am very happy and he has been an excellent doctor for me.

Dr. Delbusto is the best physician I ever had! I am often considered to be a VIP in other circumstances but I am treated like all his patients which is what I love the most. He is respectful to all and incredibly intelligent. I fly in for my appts and will continue to do so. He has helped me with a complex medical problem and methodically and persistently put me in the best shape I have been in a decade.

I have been a patient with Dr. Delbusto for 20 years. After all those years when I really needed help he refused to give me my methtrexate if I did not have an appointment. I am now close to death and suffering arthritic pain on top of my cancer pain. I am bed ridden. I am too weak to go to a doctors office. The girls are nasty an sound like a broken record when they refused my request.

I went to Dr. Delbusto many years and think He is terrific. We moved out of state and it was not possible to get to his office. He knows what he is doing. You will be in great hands. Mrs. Carol Kelleher

I have been seeing Dr Delbusto over 10 years now, he has always been helpful and knowledgeable. He has repeatedly made good recommendations for me and has been invested in my care. He knows exactly who his patients are and what they are there for, you never feel like a number or rushed through an appointment. In my experience he has always been more about high quality care than high volume to bring in money. The staff is easy to contact and communicate with, always return messages and follow up.

Good chance this doctor aggravated or gave me prostate problems because of his reco for testosterone treatment. He gave me no warning of my rising psa and I had no access to the results of his testing at LCMH because he did his tests internally. I trusted this doctor to look after my best interests. My PSA went from 3.02 to 9.88 after a year of taking the testosterone patch. Now I'm going thru CT scans, Cycoscopy, and probably prostate biopsy with all the fear and discomfort involved.

Dr Delbusto is knowledgeable and friendly. He seems to really care about you as a patient. I've seen him a couple times for arthritis and possibly rheumatoid arthritis. While working towards a diagnosis he assisted me with a problem that another physician treating me should have taken care of but didn't have the time nor inclination. I mentioned the problem to Dr Delbusto and he helped me take care of it. It's nice to find a doctor that really wants to help the patient.

I have been seeing Dr. Delbusto about 2 or 3 years. He has always allowed enough time for my visits, listens carefully to my concerns, and has managed my RA appropriately. I do not hesitate to recommend this physician.

I cannot recommend Dr. Delbusto based on my experience. He was nice, at first. But, didn't treat me with respect and even insulted me, repeatedly. Every time I explained to him how much I struggle, he told me I was making excuses. If you have Fibromyalgia and are looking for a doctor who will be compassionate, knowledgable and actually listen to you, do not waste your time or money on him. Those of us who have this dreaded illness, need doctors who will listen & know what they're talking about.

I have had a long time of chronic pain, and I finally had enough. I found him through my insurance site as well as through researching rheumatologists. None in my area were well recommended, so I went further out. I have seen this doctor 4 times or so and each time he tried to get to the bottom of the problem by trying one strategy, then another, and another until he felt comfortable with the diagnosis he did make at the start. I appreciate that. He is kind, helpful, and efficient.
