Sara Bunting, MD

Dr. Sara Bunting epitomizes what a doctor should be. Her dedication, care, and timeless attention is beyond description. Her decision to downsize in order to give more of herself to her family and to her patients is admirable! All her patients had an opportunity to opt in by a deadline. For my husband I, meeting that deadline was a top priority! She has literally been a «life saver» for both of us in the past few years. If you had to describe having the «perfect internist» it would simply be, Sara Bunting!
Our gratitude for her care is beyond description!

Dr. Bunting has provided me with best and most attentive medical care I have ever experienced. I am always amazed at how much time she spends with me, how thorough she is, how well-​informed she is, and that she listens to me before making decisions on treatment. She is also pretty conservative when it comes to prescribing medications and ordering tests.
Her staff is super nice too and that is really important to me!
Simply, the best physician I’ve ever had. So grateful for her care for the past 20+ years.

I cannot begin to say how amazing Dr. Bunting is. She is thoughtful, caring, listens, and has been very accurate and successful at diagnosing and treating medical problems I’ve had ranging from allergies to a temporary thyroiditis that caused me a lot of problems (but finally went away!). My whole family goes here, and although she has a closed practice, I was able to get in after a long wait list. She is one of those people who I want to keep saying «thank you» to for all of her care and support.
I agree with David. D’s review. Dr. Bunting always stays up to date and educates herself further with medicine, especially with areas that affect her patients. Whenever I have, she follows up with me and give me even further advice based on more recent studies of whatever was ailing me at the time. She has also referred me to great specialized doctors, made sure they could see me sooner rather than later, and filled them in on my medical history.
As for the review below, I know Dr. Bunting downsized her practice to give more attention to her patients. This is a very honorable thing to do, as many doctors like to have a bunch of patients they can rush through to make more money. Dr. Bunting decided to take a pay cut so that she would rather have more time for each patient, and I respect her for that. When she did downsize her business, she let all of her patients know and told then to get back to her within a certain amount of time to stay with her. The patients who replied within that window of time remained with her. This was a way of finding out which patients really felt they needed her as a physician and was a fair way of downsizing her practice because she gave each patient the same opportunity to stay with her. She even took on a patient who missed this deadline but petitioned to be taken back into her practice because of her severe medical problems, which she only did because she understood and cared.
I know Dr. Bunting doesn’t need this review as her practice is closed and she won’t be taking on any new patients for a while, but she is just so wonderful, I had to write one.

Sara Bunting is what everyone (or at least I) always wanted in a doctor: deep knowledge grounded in science, a reassuring manner, and empathy. My wife and I have been her patients for many years. We opted in when she went to a closed practice, and we are glad we did. I pray that she outlives me.

I can appreciate «Fromage S’s» disappointment in not being able to continue seeing Dr. Bunting in a professional capacity. However, I think her comment that «…[Dr. Bunting] has demonstrated questionable business and patient care standards in her practice.» is WHOLLY inaccurate and unfair.
I have been a patient of Dr. Bunting’s for more than a decade and she is nothing less than the most knowledgeable, thoughtful and caring physician I’ve ever had the pleasure of dealing with.
She is consistently up-​to-​date on the latest medical research and techniques and has on numerous occasions been able to correctly diagnose and treat specific conditions either missed or misdiagnosed by other doctors.
Dr. Bunting made the tough decision to scale back her practice and as someone who struggles with their own «work-​life» balance, I applaud her for doing so.

Dr. Bunting used to be a wonderful internist with an amazing office and support staff.
Unfortunately, she has demonstrated questionable business and patient care standards in her practice.
When she decided she needed to downsize her practice to achieve better life balance, she did so through a LOTTERY. I mean puh-​leeze.
Losers in the lottery were notified by Certified Mail that they were being fired as patients.
I kid you not.
I had been a patient of hers for over 20 years, so needless to say I was shocked and disgusted by this insensitive practice.
No need to try and get in to see her. She’s not accepting new patients. And if she were, I would not trust her again.
