Lauri E Budnick's Online Review Report Card

I sat in the waiting room longer than I was seen by the doctor. I was charged well over $300 for a lackluster exam and still didn’t find a solution to my issue. The office is confusing and unhelpful and sent my labs to an Out of network lab costing me even more money. Will not go back!

I have lichen planus, a rather unusual gynecological autoimmune illness which causes much internal scaring. I saw Dr. Budnick because I was having trouble voiding. Her bedside manner was curt, she spoke more to the intern than to me, and she was so rough during the internal exam that she actually broke many adhesions and was totally disgusted that so much blood flowed. She couldn't wait to get rid of me and said what she thought was wrong was not and that she couldn't help me. She gave me the name of a holistic healer and suggested I contact her. I have NEVER in my life been treated with such utter disrespect! I ended up blocking totally a few days later and luckily, in my emergency situation found a wonderful urologist who was able treat me and provide me with much needed relief. Dr. Budnick may be good for less unusual conditions, but for me, she was a nightmare!

Dr. Budnick is a great doctor. I definitely would recommend her.

Wonderful Dr. would recomend her.

I found Dr Budnick to be very responsive and extremely thorough.

I have over 30 years in health care, I found Dr. Budnick very knowledgeable and thorough. Very happy to have found her. I have been to many Doctors who never found the problem,thanks to her problem FOUND!!!

dr budnik should be truck driver not physician. brutal exam - i bled and was in pain one week.terrible, insensitive, talked to pa like i was not there. disgrace to medical profession, wished i read her reviews before i drove to e set to be pulverized, brutalized and traumatized by her.

she should be a truck driver not a doctor. worst experience of my life. still in pain.

So far my experience has been opposite these other reviews... she seems very able and smart... i disagree with these other reviewers.

Back in 2003 I was told I needed a bladder lift and a hysterectomy. Doctor Budnick did the bladder lift while her buddy Dr Michelle Murphy did the hysterectomy. Both procedures where done at the same time. Neither doctor ever came to do a post OP visit. When it came time to be released I demanded to see a doctor. Instead a nurse was sent in to remove the packing. She literally ripped it out of me while I screamed in pain. I was told I could leave without seeing a doctor. I tried making follow up appointments with Dr Budnick. I was told that Dr Budnick would not see me as Dr Murphy was the one to send me to her, so to make them with Dr Murphy. I wound up with an infection so bad I was bleeding. It lasted over 4 months! When I went back for my 4th follow up I was told to call for my next appointment. No one ever answered the phone! I went to Dr Murphy's office to schedule one. To my amazement there was a dumpster in front of the building with all the office furniture and medical machines in it! I also found all the patients files thrown in on top of everything. Dr Murphy had suddenly relocated out of state. Dr Budnick refused to speak to me and her office would not give me any information on how to find Dr Murphy. I got a copy of my surgery procedure and found out between the two procedures the catheter was removed from me and then the same catheter was reinserted for the next procedure. Both doctors were in the OR during both procedures, assisting one another. It took me 13 years before I would see another GYN/OB. I wish I had seen reviews like this before I ever went to either one of them.
