[...] I have been coming to this clinic for 6 years with all 4 of my children and we absolutely adore Dr. Bucu. She is thorough, she takes her time and she speaks directly to the patient not the parent. She is an exceptional pediatrician who ensures proper education is given every time.[...]

Dr Bucu and her nurse were very kid friendly and kind and patient with my shy almost two year old son. He needed to get a finger prick and the technician [...] was not very patient or kind. My son is shy and was also very upset about the finger prick and I was trying my best to hold him and make it go smooth. the technician was acted very putout that he was not sitting still and at one point looked at us and said it doesnt hurt. my son is not even two and was scared and we were trying to hold him still and to be treated like this was not helping. she also was not very kind to her fellow technician who she yelled at to help her and yelled at him to go and test it. the other technician who I think she called [...], was very kind and nice. if my son needs another finger prick and I see that it is [...], we will not be going back to her.

with my son's health concerns, Dr. Bucu is the best. She help my son but limiting his hard of breathing. We have seen her twice or three but she listened to us about our concerns. She right referred us and it has helped limit the amount of time my son goes to the ER/UR. She is great. A blessing to our family. Thank you Dr. Bucu!!

Dr. Bucu has been great to see for my toddler. She is very attentive & thorough! Only comment I have for improvement - I had to get a urine sample from my 3 yr. old & was given a cup (like for adults). It was difficult to get him to collect the sample & other parents told me usually they are given a toddler potty to easily collect a sample.
