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.

Personally, I had an excellent experience because he was very friendly. He gave me a lot of confidence, I felt that he cared about my health, and that he will do his best to help me. I think I'm with a doctor who cares a lot about every patient who visits her and who does her best to help, thank you doctor.

Great Doctor

I have been seeing Dr. Buchfuhrer for two years. She effectively diagnosed my doubt issue. After two other doctors did not. She has treated me and alleviated my pain after 5 years of unnecessary pain She Has excellent bedside manner, and is always responsive and caring to the patients' needs. Most importantly, she is thoughtful and asks the right questions. I'm very grateful to have her as my doctor. Highly recommend her.

I was referred to this Doc by another Doctor
Never meet this lady, and won’t return, she had another doctor interview me, why so then I can repeat myself when she came into the room, acted like she had all the facts, and with an attitude towards me, that we can’t help you, it’s like what are you doing here, i was referred by another doctor to visit you, it’s like go see the dermatologist no concern towards my health, don’t think twice, go elsewhere

Grateful for a Dr that LISTENS!
Dr Julia Buchfuhrer is one of my favorite Dr’s (and I have quite a few). I always try to find DO’s vs DR’s because of the intent to see the whole person vs. a single issue. Dr Julia always gives me the impression she cares, listens with intent, and is willing to help me any way she can. I recommend you try her first in your quest for good care of your arthritis.
