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.

Outstanding doctor. Takes all the time needed to answer questions and discuss any issues. Patient for 6 years and extremely pleased.

Dr. Buckler is unresponsive, and does the bare minimum. My mother died after he diagnosed her with just a virus and then mono. It was a more complex issue that needed a Dr. with more intellectual curiosity/concern for his patients. When she emailed his office weeks prior that she was too weak to go to the appt. she got no response or follow up. Twice she called to get an appointment and both times they sent her to the emergency room and when she would follow up with them afterwards they were unresponsive. I believe if she would have received more attention she would still be here.

Brian always makes you feel like he's totally listening, and you're his only patient. When presented with something he doesn't know the answer to, he researches until he has an answer. I highly recommend him.

He has been very good. Have had him since he began with Mercy Health. My last doctor decided to become part of the MSU medical school. Dr Buckler is an exceptional physician. I appreciate him very much.
