During fellowship, she performed her research training in the laboratory of Drs. Tanya Laidlaw and Joshua Boyce, MD, where she focused on the pathogenesis of nasal polyposis and aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD). Her studies focused on the role of innate type 2 cytokines, IL-33 and TSLP, in nasal polyps and AERD. She joined the BWH Allergy/Immunology faculty in 2016 and is now the Assistant Director of the AERD Center at BWH. Her research continues to be focused on understanding AERD and nasal polyposis, and she is dedicated to investigating the causative mechanisms and exploring new treatments for these diseases.

I've been seeing Dr. Buchheit for several years now. She is so caring. She is very thorough. She knows all about my case. She always asks me if I have any questions. She probes about how I'm feeling and is very interested. I cannot say enough about how happy I am to have Dr. Buchheit as my physician.

We were able to get an appointment for my dad, [redacted], within two days of requesting. And once we arrived, everybody was so kind and the doctor was so thorough and so compassionate and followed up with so much information for us and with a resolution for my dad's issue and we were so thankful to have been paired up with her. And honestly, it could not have been a better experience. Thank you.

I have been seeing this Dr for years. She is wonderful! I hope she doesn't leave the practice like so many of my other providers. You have to wonder, why are so many doctors leaving Mass General Brigham? Are there new policy being implimented that effect patient care? I currently dont have a primary care doctor. I have a NP who is very nice but is not a board certified medical doctor. If this is the future of medical care at the Brigham it makes me feel uneasy.

I had an excellent experience- from getting a next day appointment to the doctor thoroughly listening to me and including my thoughts and preferences in the plan of care. All that while dealing with a malfunctioning keyboard that impeded her documentation. The best of the best for this visit! Thankyou
