Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr Buell has been our guy. He has operated on two of our family members over the last two decades. Each time we were told by our local surgeons that their cancers (bile duct) were unresectable. My grandmother was the first of our family that Dr Buell operated on . She survived for ten years until she developed lung cancer. We were so blessed to have her for all of those years thanks to Dr Buell. Then my Aunt came down with the same type of cancer. We were able to call Dr Buell on his cell phone which he gave our family. He was happy to see us and help my aunt. We are now ten years to the day from him operating on her and curing her. We can not express how blessed we are to have met him.

Compassionate Doctor who covers all the bases.
Dr. Buell was very thorough and explained things in layman’s terms. Left no stone unturned and added years to my best friend’s life. Could not have asked for a better surgeon.

Very lucky to have him
Dr Buell operated on my father. He was diagnosed with liver cancer. The VA told him his cancer was inoperable and they could only slow it down. Dr Buell was willing to operate on it and he cured him. He was kind funny and compassionate. My father is alive and well and continues to see Dr Buell in followup. We are so lucky to have met him. God Bless him.

There is no rating low enough
My daughter’s experience was a nightmare. She had an umbilical hernia that Buell operated on in February, 2021. He did it by robot and installed mesh over the hernia. She was in extreme pain from the very beginning until March 2022 when she had a second surgery that removed the mesh. Buell was the most non caring doctor I have ever experienced. He let my daughter suffer for over a year telling her lies and making excuses. Thank God she found a wonderful caring doctor that did the second surgery and I have my wonderful caring and happy daughter back. Buell should be banned from doing more surgery…he’s a monster. I’m sure there are others who have had similar experiences.
