Dr. Bush was one of the highest rated doctors offered through the Scan Health Plan when we switched from Kaiser on Jan 1, 2020. My wife and I saw him for our initial appointments, when he spent way more time with us than we expected, and then my wife saw him again a few weeks later. Doctor Bush is professional, calm and concerned, and took time to understand my wife's issues and offer solutions. We felt comfortable and trusting, and happy that we made the decision to join his practice. As a bonus, his staff are a pleasure to deal with and ready to help in any way they can. read more

Dr. Bush is a caring and professional physician. He takes his time, asks questions, really listens to you, and does everything he can to resolve whatever issue the patient has. We appreciate his quiet and thoughtful demeanor. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Bush as my primary doctor for close to 2 years and he is a wonderful doctor. I really appreciate that he takes his time and that I don't feel rushed when I visit. In addition, his staff is always very kind and pleasant. read more

Dr Bush is my PCP. He is an excellent doctor. He takes time to review test results with me and listens to any questions or concerns I have. He is very thorough and patient. His front office staff, Meliza and Dulce, are outstanding. They ANSWER THE PHONE!!! I have never had my call go through voicemail. When I call, they pull up my chart on the spot and answer my questions and schedule appointments with ease. 5 stars all around read more

HACK, BUTCHER AND THIEF - DON'T go to Dr. Bush for ANY COSMETIC procedure - he is a FRAUD!!!! Dr. Bush is an internist whose greed got the best of him when he decided get into cosmetic medicine. His advertisements say he is an "expert" and a "specialist" in lip fillers but he's a liar and a fraud and he disfigured my face. He injected a filler that immediately disfigured my mouth and the next day, rock hard masses formed all around my mouth area...up to my nose and into my cheeks. (Pics attached)This hack job also caused me to have a speech impediment because the masses formed around nerves. For this I paid 700. I made a video as well as took pictures which I sent him to see the damage. I had to go to another doctor to have the rock hard masses dissolved which was very painful. The other Doctor told me it looked like work that is preformed in the back rooms in MEXICO!! I asked Dr. Bush for a refund and compensation to reimburse me for paying another doctor to fix it. I have sent three letters and been corresponding with his office manager but DR BUSH IS IGNORING AND REFUSING to respond. I am utterly SHOCKED because he IS acting like a back room HACK, not a decent and ethical doctor. Not the behavior of a Palm Desert doctor - this is unheard of in this town. His office is dirty and smells like a sewer and I had to wait 2 hours to see him, he is rude, arrogant and entitled. His office manager told me that he had only preformed ONE LIP INJECTION PROCEDURE before me!!! And that was a YEAR ago with someone on his staff!!! He has a website for his "cosmetic" business using quotes from his regular patients that see him for routine check ups. There are NO REVIEWS FROM COSMETIC PATIENTS BECAUSE THERE AREN'T ANY!!! The pictures on the site are not actual patients. This BUTCHER should be shut down. You can better believe that I will sue him, report him to the medical board and warn the public about this fraudulent and unethical HACK. If he had only done the right thing like simply refund my money and make it right, I would have forgiven him...but this treatment? SHAME ON YOU DR. BUSH!!!! *****after re-reading this post, I realized that I didn't adequately express the excruciating pain that I was in. When the masses began to form, it was SO PAINFUL that I got nauseous. It burned, throbbed and itched and nothing relieved the pain. I had a fever and was tortured relentlessly until the next doctor could inject the dissolving liquid. Dissolving the rocks was probably the most painful experience of my life **** update on 8/3/21 - The first treatment of filler dissolver did not work. I have been undergoing monthly painful and expensive treatments for over a year and a half with a well known and respectable Plastic surgeon in Palm Desert to try to dissolve The "filler" that was supposed to go in my lips but migrated up to my nose. I was informed today that whatever this criminal injected into my face was something other than hyaluronic acid. It appears he has used some kind of silicone or unapproved experimental substance but it is not hyaluronic acid!!! As you can see from my latest picture, whatever he injected has migrated through all the levels of my skin. I was told today that I may have to look like this forever because the surgery to remove the particles that are now interwoven through my skin cells would severely scar me for life!! The filler that stayed in the lip region will not dissolve either and has grown, rockhard and occasionally I feel like I have a speech impediment. THIS EVIL CRIMINAL NEEDS TO LOOSE HIS MEDICAL LICENSE AND GO TO JAIL!! KARMA, Dr. Bush - KARMA IS COMING FOR YOU!! One more thing: THIS CRIMINAL NEVER REFUNDED ME !! The response from his office was simply a bold faced lie!!! Anyone who wants to Initiate a class action lawsuit, contact me... I'm in read more

Dr. Bush and his staff are wonderful! I went for my "Welcome to Medicare" exam and can't tell you how thorough they were. I'm pleased with how I was treated and made to feel that I wasn't just a number. read more

My 91 year old Mother and I recently had to find a new Primary Care. We found Dr. Ronald Bush and are so happy that we did. Dr. Bush is very skilled, professional, caring and compassionate. He's a great doctor who gives you a fantastic amount of time and truly listens! Remarkably, even with giving you a lot of quality time, he runs his office on time. His staff are also kind and caring. My Mom and I are very grateful to have found Dr. Bush. P.S. - He's got a wonderful sense of humor. Thanks, Dr. Bush and team! read more

I am in love with my lips!!! If you are looking to get lip filler, look no further, Dr. Bush is your doctor!! He is truly an artist, he always gives me exactly what I want, perfect shape, no bumps, super smooth, and I get compliments left and right! I do not trust anyone else with my lips. I've been to other doctors in the past and I've been left with bumps and had to get touch ups after only 3-4 months. With Dr. Bush, there was no need for touch ups until after a whole year!! I am so happy with my results, you are truly paying for quality here and I look forward to getting more cosmetic procedures with him. Be sure to check out his website to browse all his procedures. read more

Have been a patient of Dr. Bush for over 2 years and can say he's been one of the best primary doctors I've had. He spends more than enough time with you on each visit and listens to your symptoms, needs, and concerns. Never had a problem with obtaining a prescription refill either from him or through his staff. As a bonus, his office is easy to get to, no complicated hallways to navigate. Pretty much just pull up in your car and walk right in. read more

Dr Bush is my primary care. He took his time during my appointments, explained my lab results and patiently answered all of my questions. The wait time was not long in his office and I was able to get referrals in a timely manner. I am pleased with my experience overall and am thankful to have him as my physician. read more

Fabulous doctor and great staff. My husband's first visit with Dr. Bush today left us both very impressed. Appointment was on time and the front staff and medical assistant just couldn't have been nicer. Dr. Bush took the time to thoroughly review all medical issues and medications. So glad to have found a great primary care doctor! read more

Had a nice meeting with the doctor felt very good when I left as he seemed to understand my needs and concerns. He told me he would call in prescriptions as I was told when I left called my pharmacy thinking that I would be able to pick up my prescriptions at this time the doctors office was closed so when I went and waited in line for 30 mins of my busy day I was told they were not ready and needed to be authorized by doctor so that was Friday had to wait until Monday to call in and was told that I need all prior medication records which is understandable and I provided unfortunately I have adhd and stopped taking my medication in 2005 and record was unavailable so in return he tells me to take a drug test see a psychiatrist etc. instead of being upfront with me at the doctors visit. This doctor tells you what you want to hear until you leave and it's all bad from there. I hope others have better experiences. I will definitely be finding another doctor. I would definitely recommend a different M.D. read more

If you want a professional, do not see this doctor!!!! He is very cocky & speaks condescendingly to his patients. I was a former patient & I switched doctors after he made some very discriminating remarks toward me & my beliefs. I guess I was mistaken thinking that part of a Doctor's job is supposed to uphold patient rights & beliefs!! read more

I am absolutely furious with Dolce the office assistant in Dr. Bush's office. Her follow-through is less than average. I recently went to the offices to get a physical with a outside nurse that conducts these assessments. In asking her questions related to a skin condition I have that is progressing in a way that needs to be contained and she told me she did not have access to my chart or any of the information in it. I asked why, since I was concerned about getting this condition looked at by another dermatologist in the area since the one that Dr. Ronald Bush referred me to was also the worst experience ever. Dr. Milligan barely looked me in the eye when he spoke to me, felt very disconnected as if I was only a number. His treatment did nothing but exasperate my condition. I told him I was concerned about side effects from potentially taking any medication for the condition and his response was "are you kidding, with Covid you are worried about side effects?" Isn't one allowed to talk to a Doctor about concern of what side effects these medications might have on someone with my medical history. I was sent home with a prescription that did not work. I went to my follow up appointment with another Doctor in his practice, I can't remember his name, (white man with a bald head who used to have a practice but is now with Milligan Dermatology) but he said to me Dr. Milligan gave you an anti-biotic for that? I would have never done that but hey, he owns the practice I can't say anything, so be it. He then proceeded to tell me there was no cure for it and strangely kept winking at me as he was telling me the so-called bad news. I contacted my Doctor Ronald Bush's office to be put on a merry-go-round with his assistant Dolce who acted like she knew everything about my condition, and clearly didn't read the chart that I had already spoken with Dr. Bush about my experience with the Milligan camp and he proceeded to give me an ointment to see if that would help. When I went to get it filled it was $120 for a very small tube. Dr. Bush is NOT A DERMATOLOGIST and did what he felt he could do, but I asked for a referral to another dermatologist in the city. Dolce proceeds to tell me that the only one in my medical group is in Irvine which is two hours away. I didn't understand why I was being sent so far away. Turns out the medical group I was assigned to is VERY SMALL and there were no other dermatologists in the area I could see. I asked Dolce to see if I can get an out of network approval from the insurance company since that was what I was told to ask her from my insurance company. I call her back to let her know I knew this could be done and she was back-peddling telling me it could take up to ten days to get a response. Well I waited to see if she would contact me and she chose not to, I had to follow up with her to find out that she did get a response back and she said I had to come in to see the Dr. again to diagnose it. WHAT? It was already notated in my chart that I had seen him regarding this that was combined with the followup meeting with him after seeing his nurse that represents that office for physicals. This gets crazier, it was like I had to do Dolce's job for her, let's also notate her abrupt attitude with me about it all. DO NOT GO TO THIS OFFICE, ITS A JOKE. Their system and structures don't work, they are not thorough either. I wanted to speak with the Doctor to have him intervene and she said THE DOCTOR DOES NOT TAKE PHONE CALLS. Well, looks like I'll have to just change Doctors and spread the word with my very large social media following NOT TO GO TO THIS DOCTOR FOR HIS STAFF TREATS YOU LIKE A SECOND CLASS CITIZEN. I will be reporting this to every department that needs to know what a shotty business they are running. Don't try to get any service out of them for they truly don't care about you, you are just another number and a signed check. Here we go.....thanks for nothing Dr. Bush. read more

Dr Ronald Bush has been my primary physician for a few years now. He has a vast amount of medical knowledge that has helped me tremendously. It is difficult to find a good doctor that takes the time to hear you out not rush you out! As long as Dr Ronald Bush stays in business he will continue to by my physician. Thank You Dr Bush read more

Dr. Ronald Bush is an exceptional doctor...I come from a medical family and really appreciate his skills as a diagnostician. He does everything he can to help you attain maximum health. He spends twice the time as other physicans and documents everything in a computer. Then you get the printout of prescriptions and tests when you leave. I have five friends who are also patients of Dr. Bush and they have the same experience with him. We feel very lucky to have him as our doctor and his office staff are as kind and caring as he is. read more

Dr. Bush is an amazing doctor! He really spends time with his patients, you can contact him by telephone, which is amazing in this day and age. Overall, I am very pleased with the procedures he has done for me. I have had wonderful communication with the staff, very helpful and courteous. His work is simply marvelous read more

I only saw Dr. Bush twice and both times did not like his bedside manner. He seemed like a very unhappy person and took it out on me. I am sorry to say I will be seeking a new doctor.----C read more

Best Dr. in the valley..I would recommend him every time..great bedside manner and spends time with each patient until both are happy..Dr. Bush is number one read more

I must say, it is very VERY hard to find a doctor ANYWHERE these days who truly care about their patients. I do diligent research before making an appointment for anyone in my family. After seeing my father treated like another $ from his previous Doctor, I decided to contact Dr Bush to find out if the reviews were true. I was a little skeptical due to the fact Dr Bush also does facial type rejuvenation. Well hello!!! Do not let that deter you because DR BUSH IS DOWNRIGHT AMAZING!! He came in and sat down AND YES........LISTENED! PATIENTLY! Even to the point of asking my father about his previous time spent in the Navy. Dr Bush felt like family and we even spoke of thanksgiving and having a cook off! Don't get me wrong, we did go over all of my fathers issues, results, and what to do in the future. This Dr is extremely thorough and his bedside manner is impeccable! In fact when my father has his next appointment, I will accompany him, just to say hello to Dr. Bush. read more

Ronald Bush, M.D. - Inside of office - Internal Medicine Near Me - Palm Desert, California

I recently moved from Sonoma, CA to the Palm Springs area. I needed a new primary care physician and after a vast search of local doctors on the web, I decided upon Dr. Bush. I had my first appointment with him just a few days ago. He was generous with his time, and we went through my list of medical issues and concerns professionally and thoroughly. Also, his staff is friendly and supportive. I am looking forward to being Dr. Bush's patients! read more

Dr. Bush has been my primary care physician for the past year. I would recommend Dr. Bush to anyone looking for a general physician. He takes the time to listen to you and does not rush you during your appointments. He is very thorough and does a great job of putting you at ease. His staff up front in the office are amazingly sweet and helpful. I'm very glad I found Dr. Bush. read more

I have been going to Dr. Bush for some time. I find that he is very patient and thorough. Most important for me is that when a specialist doctor is called for, Dr. Bush supports and encourages the use of a specialist to get to the bottom of a medical problem which I have. read more

Just had my first visit. The wait time was long but let's be serious, most doctor's offices have a wait time. All around, I feel good about him. The front desk staff were friendly and professional. Dr. Bush was warm, thorough and patient. I like that he asked in depth questions about my medical history and family history. That made me feel more comfortable because he was willing to put the time into personally asking each question and covering it extensively. He was quick about assessing my needs and almost instantly, my medications were called in. I'm very satisfied to have him as my primary physician and feel that I will be able to trust his judgement about my health in the future. read more

The most amazingly great doctor I've ever met. I felt so comfortable with him that I got the courage to tell him about symptoms I have and needed to disclose to a doctor but never did. He's so competent, calm and compassionate. I feel like finding Dr. Bush was like receiving a gift from an angel. I can't say enough good things about him. Yes, sometimes the wait is long, but it's well-worth it to be treated by a doctor who cares. Like Dr. Bush said, seems like listening is a lost art. And Dr. Bush is a rare gem who continues to practice the art of listening. read more

Dr. Bush is the most compassionate, thorough doctor I've known. He is my 98 year old mother's primary care physician and she recently had a bad fall. Dr. Bush always takes the time to ensure that his patients' needs are met, and goes above and beyond any expectations I would have for a primary physician. He is competent, caring, and kind. I highly recommend him. read more

I am so thrilled that I found Dr. Bush for my Primary Physician. I feel truly blessed. I have never had a doctor that so patiently listened for as long as I needed to talk. He has addressed any issues I have had with great kindness and true professionalism. He is so knowledgeable about just about any condition. It's amazing. He is so very kind and truly a wonderful man. His staff could not be any more kind or helpful. read more

My first visit was great. Hardly any wait and gave me much time. The 2nd and 3rd visit I was taken by surprise and seen by his Nurse Practioner. I sent him a letter objecting. The 4th and 5th visits he had me wait for nearly an hour and when he came into the exam room he never offered an explanation for the hour's wait and no apology or excuse. The straw that broke the camel's back was me hounding him for three days to get a RX re-filled. I'M OUTTA THERE. STRONG OPENING, POOR FINISH. read more

Dr. Bush is very thorough, but the best part of his practice is his office staff........they are always pleasant and VERY helpful........best doctor office staff I have ever come across. read more

Had to wait over an hour to actually see the whites of his eyes!!! If they make an appointment at 11am then that's when you should be seeing him!!! Not at 12:00pm!!! I tell ya read more

I have been seeing Dr. Bush now for several years for cosmetic laser treatments. He has top of the line laser treatments in a professional setting. I'm completely in love with the laser genesis treatment. It doesn't hurt it feels warm like relaxing in the sun. Zero down time means I don't have to take off work and my skin has an immediate healthy glow. It increases collagen production and reduces redness and fine wrinkles. I've gotten so many friends hooked on laser genesis now at Dr. Bush because it's that great. If you want a deeper treatment try the pearl it's certainly a lot more money but you almost get a mini face lift. It's evenly and safely removes some layers of skin like a chemical peel but much safer and more effective. The pearl is what you want if you have pigmentation issues or just want amazing skin. You can also get laser hair removal from this same laser which I have from Dr. bush. My armpits used to be darker in color and now look so pretty I want to walk around with my arms up because they are pretty and hairless. Lol. Sometimes waits can be long here when you have an appointment but I found that's the case pretty much everywhere! read more

I would not trade Dr. Bush for anything in the world. He is just hands down the best doctor in the area. He is thorough, patient, kind and never hurries you. He has a gentle touch and a wonderful bedside manner. We moved to the desert in 2004 and had to find a new physician, my husband and I feel so blessed to have found him. He also performs cosmetic procedures and I had Smart Lipo done last year by him. I am over the moon happy with my results and now have a waist again. I highly recommend Dr. Bush for all your medical and cosmetic needs. His staff is top notch and whenever you call for an appointment or prescription refills they are more than accommodating. read more

I am new to the area and saw Dr. Bush for both an annual physical exam and a pre-op exam. I am a physician, so I know of what I write. Despite the waiting room being virtually empty, I waited 1.5 hrs past my appointment time. Perhaps Dr. Bush had an emergency, but still, not good. He seems extremely distracted during the history portion of the exam. Not focused. His physical exam was one of the worst I've ever had. He failed to perform basic tests such as an ophthalmoscopic exam, never listened to my carotid arteries for bruits (I am 62), failed to do ANY neuro-motor-sensory testing, etc. It was a cursory exam that was most disappointing. Despite these examination oversights, his medical record, of which I have a copy, documented normal findings. That's pure garbage, bordering on medical records malpractice. Needless to say, I will be looking for another doctor. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Bush for a year and a half. It all depends on what your seeking is a Primary Care Dr. Very thorough...so he takes his time reviewing everything. He takes care of your immediate needs incredibly well. Medicare requires a lot of documentation and he needs to input all information, so its very time consuming. Patience is the key here. If your looking for follow up, this is not the place. You must be your own advocate and follow up yourself. Its the problem with our medical system. He is a genuine guy. You can ask him anything and he takes the time to answer. Great people in the office. Great Doctor ! read more

DO NOT see this doctor! My doctor moved, so I made an appointment with him, because his office was just outside of the Indian Wells Country Club, where I live. I waited 2 weeks. I told the bilingual person that answered the phone, that I was out of my heart medication, that didn't seem to matter. I arrived 15 minutes prior to my appointment. They asked me for my insurance. I had just changed from Blue Cross to Tticare ( military ), I hadn't received my card yet. I told them that I'd pay by Credit Card. She said, "NO". I said, OK, I'll pay cash and waved $3000.00 in cash in front of her face and she still said "NO". Disgusted, I walked out. I looked on the net for his email address to write him directly and found others poor reviews. Lucky for me ! read more

We have just picked up Dr Bush as our Primary Doctor. We absolutely love him. He is such a thorough doctor. One thing we really appreciate about Dr Bush is he doesn't Rush you through your appointment. He takes his time and will ask you a ton of questions about You and you're Heath. His front office personnel are pleasant and competent and are very helpful when making your appointments. We give Dr Bush Four Stars for being so patient with his patience, however the wait time after arriving is sometimes over an hour. Not sure if this is a Doctor issue or a front office issue.He has truly helped us with our Heath concerns and when we needed to make an unplanned appointment his front office staff where very accommodating. Great Doctor with a Great staff. read more

I moved to Palm Desert about 2 1/2 years ago and found Doctor Bush. I find him to be very Professional and Helpful for my wife and I.I would recommend him to anyone looking for a General Physician. The staff up front has always been Great also. read more

New to the area, we saw 5 Star rating for Dr Bush. We would agree, he is worth a 5 star rating. His front office staff Roger and Dulce are both professional and courteous. Our wait time was very short. First impression of Dr Bush was very attentive and pleasant. He Listens! He addresses concerns, and makes you feel comfortable. He takes his time with you. Then, once done, his staff hands you a printout summary of what was discussed, his plan for you, and any recommendations. It's great. We recommend this doctor as a PCP. read more

First visit was fine. I fell the doctor is competent, the office staff pleasant and hopefully, this will all continue as I am looking forward to a long affiliation with Dr. Bush's practice. read more
