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.

Dr. Buckley’s was lacking in his medical knowledge, looking at only a partial X-ray when making a diagnosis. His diagnosis was wrong and I experienced intense pain as a result. Fortunately, another orthopedist was able to provide relief with a cortisone shot. Additionally, I found Dr. Buckley to be arrogant and dismissive.

One of the best
Dr Buckley is a very confident and calm Doctor, with a great bedside manner. His extensive knowledge and great personality will put anyone at ease. Perhaps most importantly, he listens to you and works in collaboration to come up with a solution . I couldn't recommend him more.

Shoulder surgery
I had fallen off a ladder and severely injured my shoulder. 3 out of 4 tendons in my rotator cuff were completely torn! Dr Buckley was able to repair my shoulder and after 6 months of physical therapy at the UOA facility I plan on playing golf next week! Dr Buckley is a top notch surgeon and I highly recommend him! The entire staff is outstanding! They make the surgical experience stress free!

He Never Disappoints !
Wednesday night I stood up heard crunch in my right foot and pain to walk . Thursday AM my Son took me to Urgent care X-rays, soft cast, given crutches and told to follow up with Orthopedic Dr. Given appointment Monday but not good using crutches my Husband called Wall office Friday AM Theresa spoke to me and 5 mins later she called as had an appointment with Dr Buckley. As usual his genuine concern, his explanations of what was wrong, what I needed to do plus the importance of my safety, having been diagnosed with osteoporosis last month and a major issue numbness in my legs , he gave me the directions I needed and follow up appointment in 3 weeks. He had Lorenzo place a boot on as he showed me the details I had to follow. Walking out of the room with my boot on Dr Buckley said “ No , not just boot you need a crutch, cane or walker for your complete safety to prevent falls”. I had questions today and quick call back from Megan who put me at ease. God Bless Dr Buckley and Staff !

Dr. Bucklely gave me life-changing advice and care. I came in for a second opinion, having been told I needed major surgery on my knee. Dr. Buckley diplomatically informed that I'd been mis-diagnosed and he walked me through the evidence, showing me how the imagery of my knee led to his conclusion . He answered all my questions and patiently educated me about joint anatomy and my injury. He prescribed physical therapy and nothing else. Three months later, I'm slowly returning to strenuous exercise. If I'd gone through with the surgery I'd been advised to get, I'd still be hobbling around. I traveled from New York City for my consultation with him and I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

All doctors should be like Dr Buckley. I had taken a fall and was experience pain in my left arm. He took X-rays which didn’t show any breaks. His concern about the black and belies around my elbow led to an MRI and the correct diagnosis. He is extremely thorough. I highly recommend him

Dr. Buckley did knee surgery for me for a meniscal tear. He worked with me to try and avoid surgery as much as possible by doing PT and other therapies (cortisone injections). He was not pushy and was always very pleasant to work with. The surgery was extremely successful and I would highly recommend him!
