About Me
As a family medicine physician, I provide outpatient treatment for all kinds of conditions requiring a range of care services including chronic care, acute care, office surgical procedures, preadmission testing and physical exams. Many of my patients come to me for health promotion and prevention. I use lean Six Sigma techniques to increase both clinical and process improvement outcomes. I closely evaluate each patient while working in collaboration with a team of nurse practitioners, pharmacists, social workers, dieticians and numerous specialists to ensure my patients are receiving the highest quality professional medical care available. I strive to also demonstrate compassion, integrity and respect for my patients and their families.
I enjoy working at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center because of the variety of opportunities available to the faculty and staff. For example, my position at Ohio State has allowed me to participate in leadership activities, ranging from administrative responsibilities to medical education for resident physicians and medical residents. I also enjoy the opportunity to work with a diverse group of patients as my outpatient volume is among the highest in Ohio State’s primary care network.
In my free time I enjoy competing in triathlons and taking my S2 7.9 sailboat out on Lake Erie.

Consulting and Related Relationships
At The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, we support a faculty member’s research and consulting in collaboration with medical device, research and/or drug companies because a faculty member’s expertise can guide important advancements in the practice of medicine and improve patient care. In order to provide effective management of these relationships, the University requires annual disclosures from all faculty members with external interests related to their University responsibilities.

Awesome guy.

I travel 45 minutes to get to Dr. Buoni because I feel he always knows what's going on and gives me great care.
Good.
It was a short visit. Everyone was really nice & help. The doctor quickly identified the problem. The receptionist helped me w/ordering my prescription - as I didn't know what to do as I haven't filled a prescription before - they were really courteous & nice about it.

Dr. Buoni is as good a GP MD GETS!
Dr Buoni is very familiar with my disease and has worked diligently with me to improve my living conditions. He explains pros and cons with regard to his plan of action.
My care provider explained my pulmonary test results. He prescribed medication. He cared enough to help me get a coupon for the extremely expensive prescription he prescribed. He also prescribed an antibiotic for my skin condition. He reviewed my medication and refilled another medicine. He cared enough to provide encouragement. This was done as his last appointment for the day and I noticed he took the time for me without rushing.

Dr. Buoni is a one of a kind doctor. He has all the qualities a patient seeks, but doesn't always find in a PCP.
I know it's difficult to review each patient's history prior to seeing the patient - but that's what needs to be done. I had to challenge doctor's assessment of current set of issues based on last year's CT abdomen/pelvis scan results.
