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.

Right on top of issues. Very attentive and atune to detail. Does not brush off or avoid concerns of patients. He has been on top of all needs. The staff is very helpful and concerned with questions and works to provide answers. Thanks for helping keep us healthy.

Dr. Buckner was very nice and professional. I would recommend him to anyone in need of gallbladder removal. His nurse and staff are also great. They are adamant about making sure you are taken care of. Altogether it was a good experience for my first surgery and I will go back to him again if the time comes. Very nice Doctor. It's hard to find a Doctor that has such a good bedside manner and is also an excellent surgeon.
