There is no way that photo of Dr. Buhac is recent. She is hideous, creepy and unkempt. I would never have seen her if I had seen what she looked like. She needs to see a doctor. She prescribed a medecine that made my mouth develop a ton of sores. The medication cost a ton of money and she could have cared less. She did not even known that the medication was capable of doing that. She is the worst doctor on the planet. Her office was filthy just like herself. I cannot believe that Saratoga Hospital gave her an accreditation. Avoid her like the plague.

Worst doctor if you can call her that. She has you wait in the waiting room for over an hour as she wanders the waiting room then you sit naked in the exam room for another hour then has the nerve to question me about her staff when in all reality she should work on her time management and focus on her profession being a dermatologist. I will not return there even if they paid me.

Dr. Buhac seemed like she could help my severe acne problems as a teenager, or so I thought. Every appointment I had with her I had to wait at least twenty minutes (at most an hour one time) in the examination room after the nurse left saying "Dr. Buhac will be right with you." When she actually made it to my examination room she was extremely flippant, had no bedside manner, made me feel as though my acne was my own fault and left me in tears every time I saw her. She also prescribed me medications when I was a teenager without telling me any side effects for them (for example: no sun exposure with Retin A.). I have seen a male dermatologist in her practice and he was amazing to me but every single experience I have had with Dr. Buhac has been taxing on my skin, my emotions, and my self confidence. This is the first bad review I've ever left in my life and I feel as though it's deserved. Good luck Dr. Buhac.

The first thing she does is offer me an 800 dollar treatment, before even looking at my face. Im young, why would I pay 800 dollars before anything else? Personally, I feel stupid for waiting so long in the room to see someone that talked to me for no more than five minutes and having a 40 dollar copay with whatever my bill is on top. I got a prescription I have gotten from my primary doctor before, and suggested my own second prescription. Awful experience, which I was excited for to hopefully take care of my issues. Felt the whole staff was very cold which is the opposite of how you should act in that environment. Maybe you should focus more on your patients rather than trying to increase sales in expensive procedures.

I asked to have a month plus a week’s worth of medication because I was going to be out of the area. The doctor said, “No problem!” I went to pick up my prescription (which I had to get transferred because they called it in at the WRONG PHARMACY) and of course, the quantity was only for a month’s supply. When I called the office to let them know I would need another prescription to get me through to my next appointment, they said I would need to get blood work done before they could do that. Of course, I’m out of the area so I can’t do that which is why I asked for the extra week’s worth in the first place!!! I had to remind them several times that the DOCTOR herself had approved this and call back several times before someone actually said they would call in the prescription. I made sure to verify the pharmacy since they got it wrong last time. Well, I went to my pharmacy that evening to find that they hadn’t called the prescription in!! I called three other pharmacies just in case they had made a mistake with the pharmacy location, but no dice. Today is the day after I was told the prescription would be called in. I called the pharmacy…nothing. I’ve been calling the dermatology office since 2:00 and get nothing but an automated message saying “Please call back during our business hours: Mon- Thurs, 9am- 4:30pm) Well, guess what…!? It is their dang business hours and I’ve left a massage already, and keep calling and there is no response. Keep in mind they are closed Fri- Sun and I’m going to run out of medication tomorrow. I can’t even believe how UNPROFESSIONAL and UNORGANIZED these people are. This is completely unacceptable!!!

I waited almost an hour to be seen by the doctor, even though the assistant said it would be just a few minutes. No apology from the doctor when she arrived, she even gave me a bit of an attitude when I mentioned it. Very brief visit, doctor recommended a pill but neglected to mention the fact that it would cost over $500 as one of the drawbacks I'd asked about. Their office makes it very difficult to actually speak to anyone regarding questions or problems (office also screwed up getting my prescriptions sent to the pharmacy) bogging the patient down in a series of automated phone menus and answering machines. I finally left a frustrated message expressing several concerns over the medication she'd prescribed, begging someone to call me back promptly since I had a follow-up appointment scheduled which relied on me beginning the course of medication quickly. The office never called me back. Paid $140 for the privilege of being ignored and forgotten. I'll never go to them again.

Take all the bad reviews to heart and don't go here! I went due to a family history of skin cancer but it is clear after my 3 minute exam she had zero interest in that. Clearly they just want to make money fixing faces in their med spa.
