Ilia Buhtoiarov's Online Review Report Card

We met Dr. B for a second opinion, as doctors at our local hospital were not able to address our issues well enough and fast enough. I must confess, it was a life changing experience. Dr. B explained everything in great details, broke down all the labs so we could understand it, and even reviewed with us xrays and catscans what were done at a prior location. No other doctor ever did this for us. We then discussed treatment options, and Dr. B said that he would want us, the parents, to be his partners in making decisions. This was the most difficult part of the conversation, as we never got that much information about our child''s illness, and we did not know how to feel about this freedom to pick the treatment options for our kid. As our child is doing well now, we are eternally grateful to Dr. B for his patience, expertise, intelligence and BEDSIDE MANNERS. He was the first doctor we wanted to see again! Cleveland Clinic saved our child's life! --grateful mom

The most amazing doctor! I would recommend any parent to trust him!

Best pediatric oncologist at Cleveland Clinic. Very reliable and respectable. Available to parents at any time of day or night, and even weekend, to address any concerns. Kids in the clinic truly love him... Grateful to Cleveland Clinic for having such physicians as Dr. B.

Dr. B is simply amazing! He has been treating my son for lymphoma for 6 months and always makes himself available for any concerns. Children in the waiting room get excited when they see him. Truly a gifted, compassionate doctor. We're very fortunate to have his services.

Truly gifted physician. Cant thank God enough for making Dr. B a doctor for my child. Cancer truly sucks, but Dr. B fights for my son like he would probably fought for his own children. May God bless you forever, Dr. B.

Dr Buhtoiarov is an amazingly intelligent and kind dr. My three year old is never afraid to go to her appointments with him! We travel at least 1 hour each way to see him and it is well worth the trip! I would highly recommend him and his office to anyone who has a child with cancer.

Dr. B is the leukemia and lymphoma expert. We are lucky to have Dr. B as a doctor for our child. He is very kind and very generous with his time; he always explains everything in very fine details but simply enough for us to understand the information. Also is very nice with children. We feel Dr. B's caring heart and hands since we met with him.

Very, very nice doctor with unique approach to sick kids. Always does what is best for the family in general. Able to provide reassurance in the most emotionally challenging situations. The overall communication style and bedside manners are very appreciated.

Very intelligent, kind and attentious doctor. Also cared a lot to relieve our anxiety and misunderstandings from previous visits to other medical offices. Called on weekend to follow up if we had any questions or concerns.

He is funny, he is nice, he talks to kids and make sure kids understand everything (13 yr old patients comments) Extremely patient and allows for as many questions as you can think of Cant think of enough positive things to say He made something that was very scary easier to understand. Always felt reassured after our meetings with him! The nurses and office staff were kind and very sympathetic. They made our daughter laugh and feel more relaxed during her treatment.

Dr. Buhtoiarov treats my nephew. He is extremely compassionate and very intelligent childhood cancer doctor. There was no visit when we left Dr. Buhtoiarov's clinic with any of the questions being unanswered. Parents of other kids in the waiting area also speak very highly of Dr. B. I am sure Cleveland Clinic rocks because of staff members like Dr. Buhtoiarov. Thank you!

Outstanding doctor. Spends a lot of time to explain disease in simple words. Always makes emergency plan. Very attentive to small details. Works very hard to earn parents and patient trust. Nurses are very nice too. Clinic is very busy on Monday, so waiting can be 20-30 min.

Dr. Buhtoiarov is an extremely intelligent physician and a very caring individual. We traveled from another state for my child to receive treatment at the Cleveland Clinic Children's, and it was a great fortune to meet Dr. Buhtoiarov. With incredible passion he took care of my son, who now feels much better and is simply back to normal life. Cleveland Clinic should be proud to have Dr. Buhtoiarov in the pediatric oncology clinic. Thank you for everything Dr. B.!

Dr, Buhtoiarov is a great doctor and a great person he gives patients the time they need and answer all questions in details

Highly intelligent. Incredibly kind and gracious with his time. He made a point to connect with my daughter and to put her at ease. Fantastic physician.
