Camille M Buonocore

I work in a doctor's office and everyone talks about how great this doctor is! I would refer anyone to this group! Exceptional! Above the rest!!!!

I received very poor care re thyroid issues. Be wary of this dr.

FIND ANOTHER DR - RUN AWAY... Everytime my wife returns from this office it is terrible. This time it was office staff who were rude. Don't waste your time waiting in line in this DR. office.

Dr Buonocore is a great doctor, however I have had more than one less than uplifting interaction with her office staff which lead me to find another dr who does not belittle patients.

She’s nice until you educate yourself about your own disease and want to try a new medication. I have had hashimoto’s hypothyroidism for 18 years of my 23 year life and for a large part of my time with the disease I felt awful so I asked to try a new medication. I had to threaten to find a different doctor for her to let me try the medication I’m on now which has made all the difference. Just today she refused to see me because I forgot about my blood work (I presently work 3 jobs) , and she has always based her assessment of my health off of average numbers which aren’t accurate for ALL individuals. I wasted over an hour just to be told by a nasty nurse that she wouldn’t be seeing me because I didn’t get my blood drawn. As soon as I left I decided that I will be finding a new doctor.

I have been going to dr. Buonocore for over 10 yrs. She is a fantastic doctor and has a wonderful staff. I moved to erie but still drive down for my appointments. Won't trust any other physician.

I was recently diagnosed with PCOS and she was recommended. However i have never felt less heard then i did during this appointment. I did not know much about the condition and was hoping to get more information but it seemed like she was to busy to spend the time with me. I had done some research myself on treatment and the only thing she wanted to give me was a medication i dont feel 100% about. I do not recommend her to anyone.

Dr. Buonocore destroyed my life by haphazardly prescribing medication to me without any description of what she was prescribing and if there were any side effects and without any proper follow up, When she realized her mistake she went into her own form of covering up her mistake by lying and blaming me as her patient. She took no responsibility for her actions and I am now living in a mental hospital. She is a sick and mean spirited and hateful woman.

Dr. Buonocore has been very helpful to me with controlling my diabetes

I saw Dr. Buonocore from March 5, 2007 until November 6, 2015. I loved the care that she gave me and she helped me through some tough days when my Type 1 Diabetes became more and more brittle. She diagnosed me with having Celiac Disease as well as having Gastroparesis. I am a survivor of a near fatal car accident and my body as well as my brain are somewhat frail. In 2013 Dr. Buonocore prescribed to me an antidepressant when I had developed sleeping issues. Though she denies this, she never explained what she was acturally prescribing to me and with suffering a Traumatic Brain Injury which she was well aware of, I would have thought that she would have at least monitored what she was prescribing to me. In August of 2013 the antidepressant stopped working and I came close to killing myself. I called her office and her Medical Assistant, Michael Tucker at first refused to help me. After some tense minutes he then told me that, " the doctor told him that I need to double my dosage and if I still felt suicidal then I should call a suicide hotline." That advice enraged me but I survived that terrible day and weekend. The following Monday, I never heard from Dr. Buonocore. Three months later when I saw her again, she acted as if she had no idea what I was telling her and what I wanted was some acounting for Mike Tucker's uncaring attitude as well as who was the doctor that Michael Tucker had spoken to. I do not think he spoke to any doctor but decided to play doctor himself. In the following months, she never had any answers and told me that I needed to just move on. She was somewhat surprised that I had stopped taking the Antidepressant that she had prescribed. After her reluctance to answer any of my questions our relationshio became somewhat heated at times and depression had taken over my mind. I would latter learn that what she does in the care of my Diabetes and what she records in my records were less than truthful. This knowledge destroyed my faith in her as my most trusted Physician. In 2014 I had developed a Brain Meningioma which was developing into a possibel brain tumor and I ended up having Gamma Knife surgery at UPMC Presby and it was stopped before it would turn into cancer. My surgeon at UPMC had notified all of my doctors and When I saw Dr. Buonocore again I felt as if I had the old caring Dr. Buonocore again. After that, for some reason our relationship just spiraled out of control and at my following visits when she would ask me something and if I did not answer quickly enough, she would just cut me off. Nothing upsets me more because since my brain trauma the words in my head at times becomes difficult for me to turn into speech. At my last appointment on November 6, 2015 she cut me off after asking me a question and I lost control and just threw it right back at her and demanded some answers as to why she let her imcompetant Medical Assistatn play doctor and why she practiced medicine with no regard to what might happen when certain drugs are prescribed. I ended up filing a complaint with the Pennsylvania Attorney Generals office for Professional Ethics but they found no wrong doings. I was told that she had told the investigator that she had explained everything to me concerning Antidepressants and that I must have forgetten the conversation do to my brain trauma. What Dr. Buonocore seems to have not remembered was that my wife was there when she told me about the medication that would relax me. In the summer of 2018 I suffered a nervous breakdown and spent 5 days at the Chestnut Ridge Mental Center in Morgantown, WV. While there Dr. Buonocore had the Bethel Park Police Dept, issue me a Cease and Dissist Order so that I am never to contact her or her practice again. I have since learned that I do not have Celiac Disease or Gastroparesis so being on a Gluten Free diet for 12 year was all for nothing. I now live day to day and will not let her imcompetant way of practicing medicine defeat me. I am Strong, I am Alive and I am a Survivor! See her at your own risk!

I drive two hours each way to see her that’s how good she is.9 years ago I had a appointment with her and when I got in the room she came in and after a minute she said what’s wrong? I said I don’t know I don’t feel good she got up ran through the building and brought back a aspirin and then walked me to the car and said to my friend take her to the hospital now and within the next two hours I had open heart surgery. This is a true story.

Dr. Buonocore makes a decision on one's health and does not take into account other possibilities. Besides my brittle Type 1 Diabetes, she diagnosed me with having Celiac Disease which after 12 years has now been proven to be false as well as having Gastroparesis which has also been proven to be false. If questioned she becomes very angry then the Patient / Doctor relationship fails.

Awful experience with this so called doctor. The only thing she cares about is herself. She will not take responsibility if she makes a mistake and will turn the blame to the patient. She ruined my life and she is to blame! I find it very sad that a Medical Doctor who takes an oath to help people could care less when she is questioned.

I always try to be fair and being Doctor Buonocore's patient for 8 years I trusted her with my life. I am a survivor of a near fatal car accident which included me breaking my back in half, bruising my spine, crushing my chest and suffering a Traumatic Brain Injury. I honestly do not think that Dr. Buonocore ever really understood what a Traumatic Brain Injury is and what it can do to an individual. Dr. Buonocore went about prescribing me a medicine which affected my brain and when that medication turned on me, she refused to take any responsibility as to what it did to me. I left her care after many times asking her why she did this to me, without any truthful answers. I can honestly say that I hate her for how she treated me in the end. I am now just a broken man and I am sure that she finds pure glee in what she did to me. You have been warned!

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME - PLEASE!!!! I have been a Type 1 since I was 10 years old, never have had an a1c over 8.0. Throughout college I reached 8.1 with a cholesterol of 221. She said this was good... What a joke. As someone who is thinking of pregancy soon these results are not fine. She is unapproachable, does the bare minumum and does not truly care about her patients. Honestly, you all that have said she is the best in Pittsburgh need to open your eyes. I have had the best experience at Mercy endo! Put yourself first and don't settle for someone that doesn't care.

I've been a patient of Dr Buonocore's for two years. She brought my diabetes under control within a very short period of time. Her staff have been proactive in helping me with my prescriptions when needed. I would highly recommend her.

Dr. Buonocore is not only VERY knowledgeable, but she is also a great listener. I have total confidence in her. She is warm and easy going. The staff are always friendly. Upbeat. Smiling!!! I would NEVER leave Dr. Buonocore. Shes the best!!!!

I have been a patient of Dr. Camille Buonocore for 30 years. She saved my life when she found that my parathyroids were diseased and ready to take my life. She is the best of the best and I just love her, the practice, including longtime staff, Jean, Chrissy and Suzy. I love them all. If you need an Endocrinologist this is the practice to go too.

She not a very good DR. I know she made a lot of mistakes on me and I had to correct them myself. I will never go back to her. I am goingto a another DR. and she is great.

The only Endocrinologist to actually listen. She was interested in my physical symptoms before labs. She spent time with me and was quickly able to diagnose me with PCOS & found the goiter on my thyroid that I had been told wasnt an issue. Yes, there is a wait for an appointment & there is a wait in the office. I'm willing to wait as at one time the people behind me on the schedule had to wait because of the length of time she spent with me. She is direct, but I'm not there to be friends.

Dr. Buonore may be the rudes medical professional I have ever met in my life. she exhibited no interest in diagnosing me, examining me, discussing my symptoms, or treating me. She is hostile, attacking, uncaring about meeting a new patient. I was so insulted by her demeanor and condescending tone, I walked out of her office in less than 1 minute of meeting her. I wasted 2 months for the appointment and an hour in the waiting room waiting to be seen by her. If my primary care doctor thought enough to refer me, shouldn't she have enough respect for that professional as well as me to examine me before rudely attacking me for being there?

She told me over the phone that I had hashimotos, explained nothing and was was shocked when I made a second appointment to discuss protocol. She ASKED ME if I wanted to be on medicine... isn't that her job to know that? She laughed at me when I told her through my research that a gluten free diet is supposed to help and asked me to back it up with research (what????). She also told me thyroid has nothing to do with weight. She gave me ZERO suggestions on what I should do improve my condition. it was a horrible experience.

I found this doctor to be very disappointing and rude. Her male assistant/nurse was equally rude. There was no help from her and I waisted a co-pay. No one should be treated as she treats her patients. I would NEVER recommend her to anyone.

Dr. Buonocore has worked hard with me and my blood work to get my levels normal. She increased my prescription dosage as needed and was very attentive to everything I have described to her in my appointments. I am happy to have someone that understands my symptoms, and sees me only as needed to adjust my medications and monitor my condition.

She is by far the most condescending physician I've ever met in my life. She was short, rude, and had made up her mind about me the second she walked into the room. Initial visit lasted less than 10 minutes. She wouldn't let me finish a sentence & pretty much flat-out said she didn't think there was anything wrong with me. She begrudingly called me back after my bloodwork came back abnormal. I'd never refer anyone to her - EVER IN A MILLION YEARS.

Dr. Buonocore is the rudest medical professional I have ever met. I waited 2 months and an hour in the waiting room to see the doctor. Dr. Buonocore entered the exam room in a hostile accusatory manner. She did not quesiton me about my symptoms or attempt to examine me. She was so hostile and dismissive of me without speaking to me. She had diagnosed me before she examined me based on labs provided by my PCP. I got up and left the office. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME or your insurance $$$

Great Staff and very knowledgable Doctors. Dr Buonocore is the best in the Burgh!

Professional and courteous. And by the way, in defense of my endocrynologist's office and the review regarding a woman who is upset that she went in without having her bloodwork done first, the fact is: I have always received two reminders on my voicemail in advance of an appointment to remind me that bloodwork should be done. And I have never had a problem in getting that prescription re-faxed if I've lost it, so I'm not sure what on earth she's referring to as unreasonable. That's very reasonable. I appreciate the reminders and how accommodating this office is. And if it weren't for this office's thorough follow-up after an initial denial from insurers of an insulin pump, I wouldn't be wearing one today. They go to bat for you. They do everything they can to ensure that you are getting the treatment you need. One other thing, they don't make you wait long in the waiting room. I haven't waited for more than 10 minutes tops. (My opthamologist has made me wait for over an hour - whereas, in this instance I barely pick up a magazine at this endocrinologist's office and my name gets called). I'm a Type 1 Diabetic with a low-thyroid and some other issues. Dr. Buonocore is my best doctor. Professional and courteous.

Professional and Courteous, She is an outstanding Doctor and everyone I encountered with the office was the same. She was quick to explain what my PCP had not, and discuss other possibly unrelated problems. I left there feeling very well informed and I had to get blood work done before receiving medication - I received a phone call from the Doctor herself when the test results were in (which took a long time due to fault of the lab, not her office) Prompt prescription and directions has me feeling better already Professional and Courteous, She is an outstanding Doctor and everyone I encountered with the office was the same. … More

Unknowledgeable and arrogant. She speaks too quickly and already has diagnosed you before actually looking at you and test results. She does not make eye contact. She is extremely argumentative! I found this to be common with her other FORMER patients too. I was left with 2 somewhat important issues completely ignored. Gave me medicine to take care of my " obesity", although I am nowhere obese. Do not waste your time. First doctor I have ever fired!

This doctor is truly the worst. Before I was able to speak a word at my appointment, she came in and lectured me as if I were a child. She is not only insensitive and brazen, but she is also not willing to listen and dig deep to resolve your health concerns. Save yourself some time and energy by finding someplace else, somewhere with a doctor who cares.

I am 65 years old and have lived in 4 cities for extended time. Buonocore is the only Dr I have ever fired. I went to her 6 times. All but one did I see her. The other visits I saw her assistant. I knew more than the assistant concerning my diabetes. The office staff are sloppy and indifferent. Dr buonocore would be at best acceptable if you were living in the 1970s but I'm not! She does not have the capabilities to take a glucose meter and transfer information electronically. bad experience.

There is a reason she has poor ratings. She is hot headed, arrogant, cocky and rude. People like her should be stripped of medical license!

High arrogance for a female medical practitioner. Great as long as you go once a year for dosage changes. Anything more complicated is not a concern. If you have any real concerns about your health and are seeking relief, best to find someone else.

Wonderful, caring Doctor! Listens to your concerns and addresses them. Not in a hurry, takes her time to explain things.
