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.

A superb doctor!

can't get a callback
Very frustrated. Chose this doctor as my new PCP, but have called the over 10 times, left 4 messages over the past month and never received a callback. Dr. Buckhorn should read his reviews and find out what is going on at his office. I'm not the only one that has had this issue.

After 3 surgeries from my surgeons since May 2018, I visited Dr. Buckhorn multiple times . Dr. Buckhorn is a great doctor who listens and explains what's the cause of the symptoms and recommends the best possible solution to my problem. The nurses and staffs treated me with great dignity and respect. They were all wonderful to me. Mirella Buckhorn the office manager is amazing! She was very helpful in making sure that my 3 Disability Insurance claims were filed in a timely manner.

In the 4 years since Dr. Buckhorn became my primary care doctor there is only one way I can adequately rate and describe him. "He's the best doctor I ever had and maybe the best one on the planet." He not only graduated number one in his class, but he's not afraid to combine the best of western medicine along with the best of eastern medicine. He's more than a physician, Dr. Buckhorn is a healer! His meditation class is the best I have ever attended. I am very fortunate to have found him!

Dr. . Buckhorn is excellent in patient care. His experience as St. Jude Hospital doctor adds value to my care. He has good relations with several major doctors, example, my Nephrologist, my Cardiologist, my Vascular surgeon, my Neurologist, and many more. The Office staff is great, friendly, and always ready to support patients. If you need a Primary Care, give Dr. Buckhorn a chance, you will be surprised.

Dr. Buckhorn and staff truly care about the patients needs. I was referred to Dr. Buckhorn by a lifetime friend when she heard I had had a mountain biking accident. After emergency surgery, I was discharged from hospital instructed to follow up with my primary. My primary referred me to a GI specialist that I had to wait to see for 3 months. I was waiting while in liver failure and no answers. My whole body itched and my primary wasn't able to do much for me. I was scared and very stresse

I’ve been seeing Dr. Buckhorn for around 7 years and each time I visit is better than the last. The office staff is always kind and friendly; happy to answer any questions I have and always calls me to remind me of appointments or follow-up. Dr. Buckhorn is attentive and really listens to what I have to say so much that I feel like I am talking to a friend who really cares about my health rather than just any physician. There have been times I haven’t scheduled an appointment and Dr. Buckhorn st

Super nice guy. I saw him a few years ago and again recently. He moved his practice a couple months ago so it's no longer a co-management. Office staff also nice but seemed to overbook him on my last visit.

Dr Buckhorn has treated my husband with a serious illness for many years. Dr Buckhorn's manner is very calming. He works tirelessly to help us understand and explain the underlying issues causing pain and discomfort. He is a doctor for all ages. He has treated our son, my father and myself. We would highly recommend him. His staff is very caring and have worked with us whenever there has been an emergency.

Done with this dr. His office takes forever to respond to requests for refills. Up to a week. The number to the office manager that they leave on the message is wrong. He doesn't seem to want to be a full time doc. He is only in the office 3 or 4 afternoons a week. At one point he gave away all of his flu vaccine and told me to take my then 90 year old mother to the health fair to get the shot. they schedule unnecessary appts to do paperwork so he gets an award for having paperwork done.

Not very great...something about this place there is extreme attitude. No bedside manner or interest in you as a person. They want you to get in and get out. Staff was horrendous, giving me attitude over the phone. Not somewhere where you feel comfortable like they will take care of you. Strongly NOT recommended.
