He is my Hero!!
On Labor Day 2023, I suffered a very devastating injury to my foot. I had to emergency surgery in Lynchburg general hospital to put a external fixator in to hold it in place because I had no pulse in my foot. The orthopedic on call was wonderful and did a great job. Two weeks later I had the pleasure of meeting my surgeon Dr Brandon Bucker. Dr Bucker, met me at the Lynchburg surgical center bedside and was the most pleasurable, professional, doctor I could have ever asked for at such a traumatic event. If it wasn't for Dr Bucker, Don't believe that I would be walking today. In every visit since, and it's been a year, he is the epitome of a professional surgeon, a doctor, a coach, a cheerleader, and a friend. He is attentive, listens ,understands, and though I know he had a hundred other patients, he took out the time to just be a human being. I tried to think of a word to describe him and the only word that I could come up with was HERO!!

Glad I did
After suffering with hallux rigidus for decades I finally braved fusion. I wish I had done it sooner except I might not have had Dr. Bucker. My results are exceptional. I'm back to being an active, functional human. There could be no better result and I am enormously grateful.

One year after surgery, I am thankful for the professional treatment and the care that Dr. Brandon Bucker and his staff provided to get me to full recovery. My right ankle is stronger and healthier after comprehensive rehab and follow-up visits at OrthoVirginia. To receive outstanding professionalism and care in a busy hospital is rare, and for me, it is a blessing. My experience gives me confidence that with continuing care at OrthoVirginia, I can depend on maintaining stronger bones. Dr. Bucker’s commitment to professional excellence and patient care are remarkable. Without reservation, I strongly recommend Dr. Bucker and his team to anyone who needs a combination of both.

Dr. Brandon Bucker and his staff have my deepest appreciation for the medical services that I have received. There is much more to patient care than just the process of repairing a broken bone. During my time of treatment at OrthoVirginia, I was able to access MyChart, within record time, to view results of my visits and relevant information Dr. Bucker provided to maintain a healthy recovery. I always walked into OrthoVirginia for my appointments with confidence that I would receive top-notch professional care. My healing from surgery was quick and miraculously smooth because of Dr. Bucker’s professionalism, care, and ethics. I am so happy that after a painful fall with surgery, I will again spring back to reaching life’s goals with a stronger ankle. I love the one-on-one personal care, and I will always be thankful to Dr. Brandon Bucker and his staff at OrthoVirginia for the outstanding care. This patient is stuck with gratitude. So thank you - at all levels.
