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.

Genuine care and concern about my health, mental state and physical condition.
Excellent.
Dr. Buoni is the most impressive doctor I've ever met. Dr. Buoni is always the most intelligent person in the room! He found his calling and we are lucky to be part of all that he does! I trust him with my health & well being.
Dr. Buoni was remarkably attentive to my account of my recent hospital stay and my perceptions of what was happening with my health. He thoroughly reviewed my hospital records, though it was a non-OSU facility. This was the first time I had visited him and yet by the end of the appointment I felt that he understood me and devised a good game plan for dealing with my symptoms. I was very impressed and very grateful for his compassionate approach.
The doctor and I had an open conversation about my (found) condition the doctor was extremely helpful and empathized with my opinions, health and treatment options (11 out of 10).
Dr. Buoni is an A+ doctor. He is very intelligent, very caring, has a positive outlook, and I can tell, he loves his work. I'm so confident in him. I travel about 45 min. to get to his office AND will continue to do so.
Did great!
Best bedside manners of any doctor I've ever had - spends time with you & shows empathy & understands my medical history.
Dr. Buoni is great! Professional, friendly, I like his philosophy towards medication and care and general health.
professional, interested in my health and my life
