BMG contains all my physicians from primary care to all my specialist as well. Been coming here…read moreforever, between 325 and 295 Essjay. 325 is definitely more updated and modern, while 295 could use some updates. Check in is always easy, I use the MyChart app and do everything from my phone, so upon arrival I just go up to my doctor's office. The stand out for me is the lab services. It is quick and I have not had a bad blood draw yet. Which I am prone to at other spots. I was not use to getting pricked just once until here, to big shout out to them for hiring competent blood draw folks!! I love all the doctors I see and have seen here at the facilities.

One star is far too high a rating for Jonathan Edelson (Pulmonologist). First visit was December…read more2022 due to extreme shortness of breath. I was informed X-rays did not show any issues and following a Pulmonary Function Test in 2023 Dr. Edelson's advice was to get more exercise. Never suggested any further testing or pulmonary rehab! After continuous searching for causes of my breathing issue my primary doctor suggested making an appointment with a different pulmonologist at Buffalo Medical Group; however, I was refused to see that doctor because I had previously been seen by Edelson. Finally, summer of 2025 I located an excellent Pulmonologist who is "wonderful" - sent me for CT scan revealing I have Pulmonary Fibrosis and referred me for rehab to a great Pulmonary physical therapy group which has been a tremendous help teaching breathing exercises.

My mom has been seeing Dr Daniel Morelli at UBMD Family Medicine for many years. I accompany to her…read moreto these visits because she is elderly. I have always found Dr Morelli to be a fantastic listener. He is thorough and answers all Mom's and my questions until he is certain we understand. To my recollection, there has never been a long wait while getting in to see the doctor. The waiting room is large and comfortable, but I've never seen more than a couple other people in there. I don't think we've ever waited longer than three minutes ourselves. Once we are taken back to the examination room, the wait is also very short. I was torn between a 4 and a 5, and there are no half stars on Yelp, so just know this is more of a 4.5. The only reason I take a portion away is because until very recently, it's been super difficult to get someone on the phone. We've always had to leave a message, but very recently, I've gotten someone every time I've called. I don't know if that's luck or if they've hired more people or changed some of their practices regarding incoming calls. Just know, you may have to leave a message and wait for a return call. My mom typically would have to drive over to their office to ask whatever question she has or to make an appointment. (Granted, she's 87 and is not only less patient than she used to be, she also struggles with the phone menu. Switching screens on her phone is a foreign idea to her, and she never really knows which number to press even if she somehow accidentally finds the keyboard screen.) Dr. Morelli's staff has also been extremely helpful to me when I've needed it, and shows they truly care about the patients.

I've been a UBMD patient for 10+ years, and unfortunately the communication has gotten worse over…read moretime. I never received a call back about a work letter I requested months ago, and last year I even ended up leaving two separate appointments because the doctor took over an hour to see me. Recently, I went in for my yearly physical and left feeling frustrated, confused, and honestly shocked by the whole experience. I waited about 45 minutes, saw a student first, and then the doctor spent maybe five minutes with me. During that time she briefly mentioned something called a "Brook program," but didn't explain what it was. At the end of the appointment, she walked me into another room and told Russell (I'm still not sure of his title), right in front of me, that I was "very interested," even though I had no idea what the program even involved. Russell gave a very vague explanation of the program, and when I asked for more details, the only response I received was, "They'll call you to see what you qualify for." I still don't know who "they" are or what the program actually entails. Despite that, he immediately asked if I wanted to sign up for "the whole shabang." I was also told that if I wanted to enroll later, I should text him directly because he blocks incoming calls, which didn't sit right with me at all. What made this even more unsettling is that months ago I received a completely random call saying my doctor had "sent a script" for this exact program- something I had never discussed with anyone. At the time, I genuinely thought it was a scam call because nothing about it made sense. The entire encounter felt less like healthcare and more like someone trying to sell me something. I can't emphasize enough how much it felt like being upsold at a car dealership rather than speaking with medical professionals I've trusted for over a decade. The pressure, the lack of information, and the way I was shuffled around made me seriously question why this program was being pushed so hard. It definitely made me wonder if there is some sort of incentive or partnership tied to it, because nothing about the experience felt patient-centered or transparent. What concerns me most is how easily an older or less tech-savvy patient could be talked into signing up for something they don't understand. If I walked out feeling confused and pressured, I can only imagine how someone more vulnerable might feel. After more than a decade with this practice, this experience made it very clear- it was time for me to switch providers. I went to a new doctor today, and the difference was night and day. I was seen and out within 30 minutes and had a simple, straightforward conversation about my health. No vague programs, no pressure to sign up for anything- just a normal doctor-patient visit. It was honestly a reminder of what healthcare should feel like.
