San Antonio Current Best Dermatologist of 2016 , http://www.sacurrent.com/, 2016

The Patient Institute - Educating Patients. Empowering You.

Dr. Bucay was honored for using her experiences as patients to educate and advocate for others requiring similar care.  Vivian Bucay, M.D.  Vivian, a renowned dermatologist, had been diagnosed with Melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer. Vivian went on to tell the story of her self-diagnosis, her treatments, finding out that the Melanoma was Stage four and had spread to her lungs, and the irony of her being a doctor suffering with the disease that she is meant to diagnose in others. She mentioned that she writes articles and gives lectures throughout the world about her experience. Dr. Bucay has been blessed with being cancer-free and having good prognoses. The Patient Institute educates patients and provides them with tools that they need to more successfully navigate the healthcare system!
