Buono Pediatrics & Wellness

For the nurse who gave me a vaccine I felt uncomfortable about a finger being on my chest even if it was light when administered a vaccine. It was a rushed appointment because of a time crunch for context.

Wonderful staff from the beginning of the appointment to the end! They really care; it's evident. You can call any time and ask for assistance; every staff member is helpful, knowledgeable, patient, caring, and courteous. They even saw my daughter on a Sunday. It's a beautiful new office too. I would like to highlight my positive experiences with the ladies at the front desk, Danette, Nurse Bettina, Niecy, Dr. Housam, and of course Dr. Buono.

Doctors are always available, and appointments are mostly easy to get. Very personal touch and warm atmosphere. But they cut corners in ways that impact the quality of care. When the syringe broke during my daughter’s vaccine, the doctor told me, “We know these are a problem; we’re just using them up before ordering different ones.” When the doctor canceled our COVID vaccine, she told me, “A box of vaccines is $1000, and that’s just too expensive to make business sense for us.” I wish they could put quality of care before profitability!

I was so excited when Dr. Buono opened a West Caldwell location! The entire experience was great! My daughters felt connected to her right away and loved Dr. Buono's approachability and the personal attention they received. She was incredibly knowledgeable and outlined all medical options clearly and supported conservative care. Such a gift to have a provider like this now in our community!

My daughter has been going here for 6 years. She’s 12 now. I love Dr Buono. She is always booked but I know why. Her bedside manner is impeccable. She LISTENS and that is major! She doesn’t talk at you. She is thorough and truly is a great doctor. You want to feel comfortable with the person spearheading your health care. The only thing that’s a little frustrating is not being able to get a hold of somebody. Yet when there is an emergency you better believe she will call you right back and see what’s needed. What my daughter loves the most and looks forward to is everytime she comes she gets to pick a book to take home. I’m so happy her Pulmonologist recommended us to her.
