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.

Amazing nurse -Molly
Molly has returned my calls , and has researched my needs prior to returning my calls-a process very few actually follow! Molly is professional, attentive, and helpful. Thanks! PS. The entire office staff is wonderful-and so is Dr Buffaloe!

Dr. Buffaloe is a nice man, but he would not help me with my needs. I would NOT recommend him to a friend. He is very conservative and egotistical. He does not listen to the needs of the patient, but only advises what he sees best. The staff were very friendly and scheduling was easy, but I am highly dissatisfied with my experience and will be seeking out a different healthcare professional who will meet my needs as a patient and not waste my time or money.

Outstanding! As a senior citizen with typical senior citizen issues Dr. Buffaloe is alway attuned to my special needs and potential complications. Dr. Buffaloe is an excellent listener with spot on answers to my questions. I experienced my first virtual appointment with Dr. Buffaloe several months ago. It was not unlike meeting with him in person and provided the comfort of keeping the recommended social distancing that would have been difficult to do with an in-office visit. I was confident that if my blood work had dictated, Dr. Buffaloe would have had me come into the office for further evaluation. I am looking forward to future virtual doctor appointments.

Staff is great. I always arrive early for my dr appointments and waited and waited to find out dr Buffaloe wasn’t going to be there. So yet they can charge me for a missed appointment and my reply is if I revive a bill for a missed appointment so will they. Never in all of my years seeing this dr seen this problem until he moved with GHS... I had to give it one star cause it will not let me do none...

Very patient, kind, and informative doctor. Called me with test and procedure results after hours so I wouldn't worry! Kind of hard to get an appointment, but nice staff.
